State Filing Handbook for Workers Compensation Is Now Available

ISO’s State Filing Handbook for Workers Compensation is a complete online source of information about filing laws, regulations, and procedures for workers compensation. 

For each jurisdiction, the online handbook provides:

• a summary of filing laws and regulations, complete with statutory and regulatory references
• details of special filing requirements, with statutory and regulatory references
• links to Microsoft® Word and Excel versions of filing forms and speed-to-market checklists to fill out online, print, and submit
• automated calculations for forms that require them and the State Filing Forms Auto-Fill feature to complete common fields
• links to the text of state statutes, regulations, and bulletins on filing activities
• procedures for adopting or modifying advisory organization filings as the basis for insurers’ own rates, rules, and forms
• information on where to file and a list of state insurance department personnel, including phone and fax numbers, e-mail addresses, and links to department websites

To get an overview of the requirements, insurers can browse each jurisdiction through the web interface. Or they can search by type of filing to get just the information they need for a particular filing. The State Filing Handbook for Workers Compensation also includes a keyword search for each state section or for the whole handbook.

The handbook is available through ISOnetSM , ISO’s secure Internet platform for delivering information to property/casualty insurers.
