SSN/BTN Numbers Will Be Removed

Effective December 1, 2018 the SSN/BTN numbers will be removed from our Board forms, ICMS II and our database. You will no longer have to request a BTN to file a WC-1 or WC-14. You can file them via ICMS II or EDI. The new revision of the Board forms reflecting the removal of the SSN/BTN and any other changes will be available on our website on December 1, 2018.

Effective January 1, 2019, the filing of a Form WC-1 will be required in all claims, including all “medical only” claims. Penalties will be assessed if parties fail to timely file a WC-1 after January 1, 2019, pursuant to the provisions of O.C.G.A. §§ 34-9-12(a), 34-9-18 and Board Rules.
