Coverage Cancellation

Cancellation of Insurance

South Carolina law requires insurance carriers to file policy information with its legal agent, National Council on Compensation Insurance (NCCI), within thirty days of the policy’s effective date. Carriers are required to provide the Employers’ Federal Identification Number (FEIN) on all policies.  Carriers failing to meet these requirements may be subject to fines. The procedures differ slightly for Self-Insureds and Self-Insured Funds. 

If the employer fails to renew its insurance, or the insurer cancels the policy, the employer's insurer must immediately notify the Commission's authorized agent by filing a  notice of termination through EDI. Notice is effective 30 days after receipt by NCCI. This procedure differs slightly for Self-Insureds and Self-Insured Funds. 

 You may contact our Coverage Department at coverage@wcc.sc.gov if you are unsure of the carrier’s contact information.
