  • Discuss with your agent and company.

If you are still not certain that you are in the correct Workers’ Compensation classification, then you should request an NCCI inspection. There will be a charge for this inspection.

  • A copy of any relevant policy of insurance, Workers’ Compensation experience rating worksheet and/or audit information.
  • A statement of the specific rules or statutes you believe may be relevant.
  • A statement of the relief you are requesting.

A hearing will be scheduled in New Hampshire, and your complaint will be heard by the New Hampshire Workers’ Compensation Classification and Rating Appeals Board. This Board is made up of two members from agencies, two members from insurance companies, two public members, a non-voting member from NCCI, and a non-voting member from the New Hampshire Insurance Department.
