This guide is not intended to provide carrier notice to insured filing requirements. All information provided in this guide is subject to change and dependent on notification from the state.

POC Timeliness Reporting Requirements |
| Transaction Received Date | NCCI’s received date is used to determine timeliness on POC transactions accepted by the state. |
| Policies | No mandated time frame. State recommends submitting policies within 30 days after the Policy Effective Date. POC Notices may be submitted if the policy will not be issued within 30 days after the Policy Effective Date. This does not eliminate the need to submit the policy. |
| Cancellations | Within the first 60 days of the policy period: - All cancellations (including nonpayment cancellations) are due 10 days prior to the Cancellation Effective Date.
After the first 60 days of the policy period: - Cancellations for nonpayment of premium are due 10 days prior to the Cancellation Effective Date.
- Cancellations due to the insured’s failure to submit to or allow an audit for the current or most recently expired term require at least a 10-day notice prior to the effective date of the cancellation. No cancellation notice shall be mailed within 20 days of the first documented effort to notify the policyholder of potential cancellation.
- Cancellations, except for all the above, require a 75-day notice.
|
| Reinstatements | Due within 30 days after the Reinstatement Effective Date. |
| Nonrenewals | Georgia is not a continuous coverage state. Nonrenewal cancellations are not required for POC–the Policy Expiration date is recognized by the Georgia State Board of Workers Compensation. If a nonrenewal is reported, the transaction will be available through POC. |
|
POC Data Reporting Requirements |
Address Reporting—No Physical Location: - When there is no physical location in the state, Georgia will accept Employer Names linked to:
- Address Type 6—No Physical Location
- Address Type 2—Location of Operations with an Out-of-State Address reported with State Code Link 10
State Processing Exceptions: |
|
POC Penalties & Appeals |
| POC Fines | No fines are assessed for late reporting or missing POC data. |
| Appeals | No appeals process is in place because no POC fines are being assessed. |
