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 or 2017 North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code must be reported

  • Refer to the POC Data Element Requirements Chart located in NCCI’s Policy and Proof of Coverage (POC) Reporting Guidebook for all requirements

    • Address Type 2—Location of Operations with an Out-of-State Address reported with State Code Link 25
    • Montana does not accept Employer Names linked to Address Type 6—No Physical Location

State Processing Exceptions:
