Industry Notice 107
Notice No. 107
NOTICE TO INSURANCE CARRIERS AND SELF-INSURED EMPLOYERS UNDER THE LONGSHORE AND HARBOR WORKERS' COMPENSATION ACT
SUBJECT: Audits verifying Form LS-513, Report of Payments
The Division of Longshore and Harbor Workers' Compensation (DLHWC) each year conducts a limited number of audits in order to verify the information contained in certain Forms LS-513, Report of Payments, submitted to it. These reports are filed annually by each authorized insurance carrier and each self-insured employer and form part of the basis for calculating Special Fund assessments under section 44 of the Longshore and Harbor Workers' Compensation Act (33 U.S.C. 944(d)(2)).
The purpose of this Notice is to provide each insurance carrier and self-insured employer with a statement of the method we will use to select the companies to be audited each year.
Since about 84% of the payments reported to the DLHWC are made by the forty insurance carriers and self-insured employers who report the most payments, the audit process will primarily focus on the top twenty insurance carriers and the top twenty self-insured employers measured by the total indemnity payments reported for each calendar year. The companies to be audited each year will be selected in the following manner:
The above selection criteria are subject to the following factors.
This Notice is effective immediately.
All questions concerning this Notice should be directed to the undersigned at 202-693-0925.
