See website for country waivers: https://www.dol.gov/owcp/dlhwc/ dbawaivers/dbawaivers.htm). The waiver is only valid if alternative worker’s compensation benefits are provided to the waived employees pursuant to applicable local law. If there are no local worker’s compensation laws, the waiver has no effect and HCN and TCN (if applicable by local law) working under a U. S. contract shall be included and covered under the DBA.

The DBA insurance may be obtained from any authorized DBA insurance broker, see FAR52.228-3 WORKER’S COMPENSATION INSURANCE (DEFENSE BASE ACT) (APR1984). New DBA insurances policies can be purchased directly from any DOL approvedinsurance carrier. A list of DOL approved carriers may be found at http://www.dol.gov/owcp/dlhwc/lscarrier.htm.

The Contractor will be reimbursed for DBA only to the extent the contractor provides documentary proof that DBA has been paid and only to the extent quoted in the Pricing Schedule.

Where DBA is applicable, the Contractor will be required to provide evidence of insurance (certification of coverage and a paid invoice) within 15 calendar days from the date of award.

Due to the fact that Italy is on the DOL’s active waiver list, DBA insurance is required only for US citizens and residents performing under this contract, and which are performed outside the US.
