What is the Criticism Fining Program?
One of the responsibilities of the Rating Board is to ensure that workers compensation policies are written in compliance with current rules, authorized rates and procedures. Any policy not written properly is identified through the Rating Board’s policy editing process and the carrier is issued a policy criticism requesting correction of incorrect policy information. A carrier’s non-compliance with the Rating Board request is subject to a fine. Non-compliance of a Rating Board audit result is also subject to the Criticism Fining Program.
