Transcription

1 National Council on Compensation Insurance Regulatory Services JUNE 3, 2016 STATUS OF ITEM FILINGS IF ACTION NEEDED BACKGROUND IMPACT NCCI ACTION PERSON TO CONTACT Review changes in the Status of Item Filings for impact on your company s system. This circular contains national item and state filing approvals, disapprovals, withdrawals, etc., that have been filed with the regulators as of the date of this circular. It is updated on a weekly basis and is labeled so that readers can understand what version of the circular they are reviewing. For example, the first circular released in the month of July 2015 is labeled IF The 01 symbolizes the first update for the month of July. The second through fourth weeks of the month are labeled 02 04, respectively. For item filing details, please refer to the announcement circular identified for each item filing. States with statuses that have changed are boldfaced and shaded. See the following chart for a list of changes by state. Arkansas law does not permit NCCI to file rules and rates on its members behalf. Therefore, insurance carriers must make an independent filing with the Arkansas Insurance Department electing to adopt, or not adopt, an item filing filed by NCCI and subsequently approved by the Department. When such a filing is made with the Department, make sure that the NCCI item filing number (not the NCCI circular number) is referenced. NCCI will continue to monitor and issue updates. Additionally, for all item filings that contain a Form that will be published in NCCI s Forms Manual of Workers Compensation and Employers Liability Insurance, NCCI will provide a downloadable link to this Form upon receipt of approval from the regulatory authority. To purchase or request further information regarding the distribution of this circular, state-specific filing/approval circulars, and manual pages, contact the Customer Service Center at 800-NCCI-123.
