OCF-2: Employer’s Confirmation Form

The Financial Services Regulatory Authority of Ontario (FSRA) has a series of Auto Insurance Claims Forms (OCF Forms) that need to be filled out if you are seeking compensation for your injuries. The OCF-2 form, also known as the Employer’s Confirmation form, is a form that must be completed by you and your employer(s). Your employer is responsible for submitting the OCF-2 directly to your insurance provider.

The OCF-2 form must be submitted to obtain income replacement benefits when your accident and/or injuries prevent you from working. These help reimburse insured victims for a specified percentage of their lost wages.

You can read more about the OCF-2 Form and download it on the FSRA website here.

What Information is Required on the OCF-2?

The OCF-2 will ask you to give your employer permission to disclose personal information about you to your insurer. This may include any relevant documents relating to your application for income replacement benefits, as well as details of collateral sources of income or benefits.

Your insurance company may ask for information about:

• Your salary
• Whether you’re employed or self-employed
• Any additional income you receive, such as tips, commissions, or bonuses
• Your attendance history at work
• Whether you’re entitled to receive income continuation benefits, supplementary medical rehabilitation benefits, or attendant care benefits
• Union membership
• Your Canada Pension Plan (CPP) contributions
• And other important employment details

If the information you or your employer provide on the OCF-2 is incorrect, it can result in reduced or delayed benefits for your injuries.
