Policyholder Search - California Workers' Compensation Coverage Inquiry

NOTES REGARDING YOUR SEARCH

FEIN

Searches based solely on the FEIN may provide no results. If you do not receive your desired result, try your search again using the employer's company name.

Employer Name and Address Searches

The WCIRB's records reflect the employer's name(s) and address(es) as shown on the workers' compensation insurance policy, as reported to the WCIRB. If you are searching for an employer name that is not on the policy, your search will return no results.

PRO-TIPS

If you cannot find results for your employer name, expand your search by truncating the name. The search looks for every character entered so the more you enter, the fewer results will be returned. Try searching with fewer words and remove punctuation. There is a perceived wildcard at the beginning and end of every string entered, as well as for each space between words, so truncating the words will yield more results.

If searching for

Workers’ Compensation Coverage Search Assistance of California, Inc.

yields no results, try

Workers Comp Coverage Search Assistance

or

Work Comp Cov Ca

If your search contains a person’s name, try changing the order of the first and last names.

If searching for Chloe Williams, try

and

Williams Chloe

If you get too many results, you can narrow the search results by adding additional search criteria such as the employer’s address, city, or state.

If entering an address, instead of entering

1901 Harrison Street, 17th floor

enter

About the caworkcompcoverage.com Website

This website has been developed by the Workers' Compensation Insurance Rating Bureau of California (WCIRB) pursuant to California Insurance Code Section 11752.75 and California Code of Regulations Title 10 Section 2593. The purpose of this website is to assist you in determining whether an employer is insured for workers' compensation. This website will provide the name of the insurer that wrote a California workers' compensation policy for a specific employer on a specific date within a 5 year period. No automated retrieval is permitted.

Limitations of Coverage Information Available

The failure of an employer to appear in response to a query does not mean that the employer does not have insurance or is operating in violation of California law. Some employers are legally self-insured; inquiries regarding self-insured employers should be directed to the California Office of Self Insurance Plans.

Coverage information may not be available or complete for all employers due to limitations with the policy information, such as similar or duplicate employer names, multiple or alternate locations and addresses for employers, or more than one named insured employer on an insurance policy.

This website only provides coverage information for 5 years prior to the date of the query.

Search results may not reflect recent changes in information. Insurers have up to thirty (30) days to report policy information to the WCIRB. (See California Workers’ Compensation Uniform Statistical Reporting Plan – 1995, Part 2, Policy Reporting Requirements). Policy information reported by insurers is available on https://www.caworkcompcoverage.com within thirty (30) days of being received by the WCIRB. Therefore, your search results may not reflect coverage information changes that have occurred within the last sixty (60) days.

The WCIRB's coverage records reflect the employer’s name as shown on the insurance policy. If you are searching for an employer name that is not on the policy, your search will return no results.

The WCIRB's Federal Employment Identification Number (FEIN) records are not complete. Searches based solely on the FEIN may provide no results.

Information Displayed is Not Proof of Coverage

The results of your query are not evidence or verification of workers' compensation insurance, which should be obtained from or verified by the insurer directly. The results of a query should be confirmed both with the employer and the insurer before it is used for any purpose.
