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.
