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. Please refer to the applicable Workers Compensation Statutes or Rules for additional information. |

POC Timeliness Reporting Requirements |
| Transaction Received Date | NCCI’s received date is used to determine timeliness on POC transactions accepted by the state. |
| Policies | Due within 30 days from the date issued. 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 | Due 20 days prior to the Cancellation Effective Date. |
| Reinstatements | Statute does not mandate time frame. NCCI requires Reinstatements to be reported within 30 days from the Reinstatement Effective Date. |
| Nonrenewals | Montana is a continuous coverage state. Nonrenewals are required and must be reported 45 days prior to the effective date of nonrenewal cancellation. (MCA 33.15.1105) |
|

Data Elements: -
Industry Code—A valid 2012, 2017, or 2022 North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code must be reported
