AWCC ADDS POC SEARCH TO WEB SITE

July 18, 2005

Effective July 1 the Arkansas Workers’ Compensation Commission changed its proof of coverage (POC) procedures, added a POC search link on its Web site at www.awacc.state.ar.us, and eliminated a form it had required for decades.

On July 1 the AWCC discontinued the use of Form AR-I and replaced it with an electronic POC by accepting data filed with and stored by the National Council on Compensation Insurance.

The AWCC stated it cannot gurantee the accuracy of data from any third party and it is not reponsible for coverage information provided by a third party.
