Notice of Workers' Compensation Exemption Law Change
Florida Legislature passed and the Governor signed into law CS/HB 941, which amended Sections 440.02(9) and 440.05, Florida Statutes. Non-construction industry employers with four or more full-time or part-time employees must provide coverage for all employees. Effective July 1, 2013, the law changes to include Limited Liability Company (LLC) members as employees. LLC members will be included on their Workers' Compensation insurance policy; however, they may elect to be exempt by filing a Notice of Election to Be Exempt with the Division of Workers' Compensation (Division). The Division's Notice of Election to be Exempt web-based system is available for applicants to electronically apply for or renew their Certificate of Election to be Exempt. To access the system, go to the Division's website at www.MyFloridaCFO.com/WC and select the "Apply for an Exemption" icon. If you have any questions, please contact the Division's Customer Service Representatives at (850) 413-1609, or you may participate in a Division-sponsored webinar. Several webinars are scheduled during February 2013. Please visit their website or email BocSeminars@MyFloridaCFO.com for more information. Insured’s can begin filing exemptions on April 1, 2013 to be effective July 1, 2013.
