$300 is assessed per occurrence for late reporting. If the fine is not paid within 60 days, the case is sent to a collection agency and a $51 collection fee is added (which is strictly enforced) Currently, no fines are assessed for missing data. Letters are sent to insureds requesting a response regarding what company their coverage is with. If insureds do not respond, or if they do not have coverage, the state fines $150 to $500 plus 15% of any claim award, not to exceed $2,500 for any one claim. |
| Appeals—Compliance Requirements |
Appeals must be filed with the State within two weeks from the date of the fine notice. After you have complied with the timeframes and other rules for submitting policy information and filing appeals, if NCCI can assist you with your appeal, please contact NCCI’s Customer Service Center. |
