Worker compensation insurance required reporting by insurance carriers

Every insurer authorized to insure employers in the State of Florida, (except for individual self-insurers approved under Section 440.38, F.S.,) must file policy information electronically to the Division Workers’ Compensation. In accordance with section, 69L-56 at , F.A.C. https://www.flrules.org/gateway/ChapterHome.asp?Chapter=69L-56 , via Electronic Data Interchange or EDI. The data must be formatted correctly and new policies must be reported no later than 30 days after the effective date of the policy. If the data is formatted correctly, when the system updates overnight that particular policy is added to the Division of Workers’ Compensation’s database. If the policy data is not correctly formatted, the filing is rejected and sent back to the carrier to correct any deficiencies and re-file the data. In addition, if the policy is for a PEO, it should have an Employee Leasing Policy Identification Code of 2, 3 or 4, in accordance with, 69L-56.205, F.A.C. Code 2 is for leased workers of multiple client companies (most common); Code 3 identifies an Employee Leasing Policy for Non-leased Workers; and Code 4, which identifies a Client Company Policy For Leased Workers of the Client Company. If a policy has been purchased, and greater than 30 days have passed since the effective date, but it is not in the Division’s database yet, or it has been reported but is not indicated to be an Employee Leasing Policy, the PEO should contact their agent or carrier and have the data enter using the correct formatting. The entity applying for licensure should ensure that the FEIN and company name which they are requesting the license for, match what is reported on the policy exactly. There is often a mismatch in this data, which can slow down the process.

The public may verify whether a policy has been reported or not at the following Division of Workers’ Compensation website; https://apps8.fldfs.com/proofofcoverage/Search.aspx .
