DBA Coverage for Government Contractors Working Overseas
The Defense Base Act extends workers compensation protections to employees working outside the United States under U.S. government contracts and subcontracts. Gulf Coast Underwriters works with contractors to interpret insurance requirements and structure coverage around where employees work, the services they perform and the exposures associated with overseas operations.

DBA insurance addresses workers compensation requirements for covered employees working overseas under qualifying U.S. government contracts and subcontracts. Related international exposures may require separate or additional coverage depending on the contract, location and workforce. GCU evaluates those needs as part of the broader insurance program.
