Coverage Division
The Coverage Division assists in the claims process by providing proper identification of employers' workers' compensation insurance coverage. The division maintains a historical record of insurance coverage and uses it to confirm the responsible insurance carrier in the event of a work-related accident or injury.
You may verify coverage information through our online coverage verification service. Please note that this service does not provide coverage information on employers who are self-insured or covered through the State Accident Fund.

In addition, this division monitors and maintains the Commission’s coverage/fine system to ensure correct and prompt filing of coverage documents and the collection of fines.
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. Insurance carriers who do not meet these requirements are subject to fines in accordance with Section 42-19-50 and Regulation 67-405C.
The coverage staff works closely with the Compliance Division regarding problems associated with coverage enforcement.
