Official IDs

Use an official ID to specify an identifier associated with a particular line of business. In the base configuration, workers’ compensation is the only line of business that uses official IDs. For example, in workers’ compensation, you use a bureau ID to identify an entity for statistical reporting.

You set the any official ID values in Product Designer using the Official IDs page in the workers’ compensation policy line. The Official IDs link appears under Go to only in the workers’ compensation line of business.

When defining an official ID, the Scope attribute has the following meanings:

• An Insured and State official ID applies to additional named insureds. The base configuration of workers’ compensation captures the tax ID of each additional named insured as an official ID on the policy.
• A State official ID applies to the primary named insured only. Generally, you must specify a different ID for each state in which this ID applies. The Bureau ID in workers’ compensation is an example of an ID that varies by state. The system uses the bureau ID to track statistics reporting between NCCI and non-NCCI states.

In the base configuration, the Official IDs page in Product Designer appears only for the workers’ compensation policy line pattern.
