U.S. Code as of:
01/19/04
Section 935. Substitution of carrier for employer
In any case where the employer is not a self-insurer, in order
that the liability for compensation imposed by this chapter may be
most effectively discharged by the employer, and in order that the
administration of this chapter in respect of such liability may be
facilitated, the Secretary shall by regulation provide for the
discharge, by the carrier for such employer, of such obligations
and duties of the employer in respect to such liability, imposed by
this chapter upon the employer, as it considers proper in order to
effectuate the provisions of this chapter. For such purposes (1)
notice to or knowledge of an employer of the occurrence of the
injury shall be notice to or knowledge of the carrier, (2)
jurisdiction of the employer by a deputy commissioner, the Board,
or the Secretary, or any court under this chapter shall be
jurisdiction of the carrier, and (3) any requirement by a deputy
commissioner, the Board, or the Secretary, or any court under any
compensation order, finding, or decision shall be binding upon the
carrier in the same manner and to the same extent as upon the
employer.
