24-Hour Migrant Student Accident Insurance

The Migrant Education Program provides insurance to help with the cost of treatment for injuries caused by accidents. It covers accidents that occur 24 hours a day, all year. The insurance covers part, but not all, of the cost. The insurance does not cover treatment for illness or previously existing conditions.

If a migrant family has other insurance, the Migrant Student Accident Insurance covers part of the cost not covered by the other insurance plan. Parents should send a claim form to their other insurance company first, and then to the Migrant Education Program.

Who is eligible for the Migrant Student Accident Insurance?

To be covered, children must be eligible for the Migrant Education Program in Oregon and currently enrolled on Oregon Migrant Student Information System (OMSIS). The insurance covers children between the ages of 3 and 22 years of age (not having graduated from high school or GED). The insurance is for Oregon residents only. If a student moves out of Oregon, coverage runs out in 30 days.

What to do in case of an accident

If your child is injured, request a claim form by contacting a Migrant staff person at your school or at:

WESD - Migrant Education Region 16
2611 Pringle RD SE, Salem, OR 97302
503.588.5361 FAX: 503.540-4430

If your child is not currently enrolled in school you may still contact the local Migrant Home School Consultant for assistance.

You may go to the provider or the facility of your choice. The first physician’s visit must be within 30 days after accident.

A Migrant staff person would be happy to assist you in filling out the claim form.
