Documents used along the form

The ACORD 130 form is a crucial document for applying for workers' compensation insurance. However, it is often accompanied by several other forms and documents that provide additional information necessary for the underwriting process. Below is a list of common forms that are typically used alongside the ACORD 130 form.

  • ACORD 133 - Workers' Compensation Assigned Risk Plan Application: This form is used when an employer applies for coverage through the assigned risk plan, which is designed for businesses that cannot obtain workers' compensation insurance through the standard market.
  • ACORD 101 - Additional Remarks Schedule: This document allows applicants to provide any additional information or remarks that are relevant to their application but do not fit within the confines of the ACORD 130 form.
  • Loss Run Reports: These reports detail an applicant's claims history over a specified period, usually the past five years. Insurers use this information to assess risk and determine premium rates.
  • State-Specific Rating Sheets: Depending on the state, these sheets provide detailed information about the classification codes, estimated payroll, and premium calculations specific to that jurisdiction.
  • Articles of Incorporation: Essential for establishing a corporation in Missouri, this form outlines critical details such as the business name and registered agent. For more information, check out Missouri PDF Forms.
  • Employer's Liability Insurance Application: This form is used to apply for coverage that protects employers against claims made by employees for injuries not covered by workers' compensation.
  • Certificate of Insurance: This document verifies that the applicant has the required insurance coverage in place. It may be requested by clients or partners before entering into contracts.
  • Workers' Compensation Policy Declarations Page: This page outlines the specifics of the workers' compensation policy, including coverage limits, premium amounts, and the effective dates of coverage.

Understanding these additional forms can streamline the application process and ensure that all necessary information is provided to the insurer. It is essential to gather and submit these documents promptly to avoid delays in obtaining coverage.

Key takeaways

  • Accurate Information: Ensure all fields are filled out completely and accurately. Incomplete or incorrect information can delay processing or lead to policy issues.
  • Understand Coverage: Familiarize yourself with the types of coverage included in the application, such as Workers Compensation and Employer's Liability. Know what is applicable to your business.
  • Review Loss History: Provide detailed loss history for the past five years. This information is crucial for underwriters to assess risk and determine premiums.
  • Employee Details: Clearly specify employees included or excluded from coverage. This includes their titles, duties, and remuneration, which affect your premium calculations.
  • Signature Requirement: The application must be signed by an authorized representative of the applicant. This ensures that the information provided is verified and accurate.

Frequently Asked Questions

  1. What is the purpose of the ACORD 130 form?

    The ACORD 130 form is a Workers Compensation Application used to provide essential information about a business seeking workers' compensation insurance. This form collects details such as the applicant's business structure, contact information, estimated payroll, and any prior insurance history. The information helps insurance providers assess risk and determine appropriate coverage and premiums.

  2. What information is required to complete the ACORD 130 form?

    To complete the ACORD 130 form, several key pieces of information are necessary:

    If any changes occur after submitting the ACORD 130 form, such as alterations in the business structure, employee count, or payroll, it is essential to inform the insurance provider immediately. Timely communication ensures that the coverage remains accurate and compliant with the business's current operations, preventing potential issues during audits or claims.

  5. What are the consequences of providing false information on the ACORD 130 form?

    Providing false information on the ACORD 130 form can have serious consequences. If an applicant knowingly submits inaccurate details, it may be considered insurance fraud. This could lead to penalties, including denial of claims, increased premiums, or cancellation of the policy. In severe cases, legal action may be taken against the individual or business involved.
