SSN/BTN Numbers Have Been Removed

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

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.
