Update on South Carolina

I've just been informed that the President Pro Tempore of the South Carolina Senate, Glenn McConnell, has been given a copy of yesterday's CompWatch entry (along with other information) about the refusal of the NCCI Appeal Board to hear our appeal on behalf of South Carolina employers who were overcharged because their insurers failed to properly report Second Injury Fund reimbursements to NCCI. This failure by the insurance companies made the employers' experience modifiers higher than they should have been, and thus made their Workers' Comp insurance premiums higher than proper.

Perhaps the South Carolina legislature can focus the attention of NCCI and the SC Appeal Board on the need to correct these problems for employers. Stay tuned for further developments as they happen.
