SURCHARGE ON HOLD

October 2, 2000

The Independent Insurance Agents of America (IIAA) and the National Council of Compensation Insurers (NCCI) agreed to delay for at least one year implementation of a non-electronic filing fee for workers’ compensation residual market applications. NCCI had proposed requiring agents to pay a $45 fee for all assigned-risk applications submitted via mail or telephone after Sept. 18. This hard-copy surcharge had been proposed as a way to encourage agents to use NCCI’s new, free online Residual Market Application Processing Service (RMAPS) system.
