Understanding NJCRIB:
NJCRIB is a non-profit organization that serves as a central hub for workers’ compensation in New Jersey. It provides various resources and services to employers, insurers, and the public.
Can You Look Up Your Business Directly?
Unfortunately, NJCRIB’s website doesn’t allow employers to directly search for their business by name. This is because NJCRIB protects the privacy of employers and their workers’ compensation information.
How to Find Your Business Information:
Here’s how you can access your workers’ compensation information through NJCRIB:
- Contact Your Workers’ Compensation Insurance Carrier: Your insurance carrier has the most direct access to your business information within NJCRIB. They can provide details like your experience modification rate (EMR), classification codes, and claims history.
- Review Your Policy Documents: Your workers’ compensation policy documents should contain information about your NJCRIB classification code(s) and your most recent EMR. This information is crucial for understanding your risk rating and potential premium costs.
- Worker’s Compensation Inquiry Portal: NJCRIB offers a “Workers Comp Inquiry Portal” accessible through their website https://www.njcrib.com/PolicyCoverage/Search. This portal allows authorized representatives (typically your insurance carrier) to access your business information upon your consent.
