My wife and I own a church. We aren't paid per se. We live contained by the building owned by the church. I got a notification from the Nebraska workers comp court saying that we needed insurance unless we owned 50% of the corporation Or possibly if we were on the board.
Answers: You can't "own" a valid church. You can WORK for a church. If the Nebraska WC court says you have need of it - you need it. If you own 50% or more ownership of the corporation, AND you have NO church human resources, you can see if you can exempt yourself as an executive officer.
Unsalaried board members typically aren't covered below WC anyway.
If you think you don't entail it, because of "seperation of church and state", think again. Just because you are a church, you can't "opt out" of state law. Which is why certain religions aren't allowed to make ritual human sacrifice, in the US.
i dont think through why you would need workers comp insurance...i would nickname them and let them know the agreement..sounds kinda odd to be honest You want WC insurance if you have any body.
Do you have rewarded employees? Is adjectives the work done by volunteers? When you hire a plumber or an electrician they are usually covered by their own WC. What does the state of Nebraska require and what do other churches do in your same situation?
Good Luck/ God Bless CWW
