Premium Audits During COVID-19

As we continue to monitor ongoing developments related to COVID-19, please know that nothing will compromise our commitment to taking care of our customers.

We recognize that completing your premium audit may be more challenging as a result of this situation, so we have adapted our process to make it convenient and safer during this time. Where possible, we will be conducting premium audits virtually. You will be able to leverage our secure portal and speak with an auditor over the phone during your appointment.

If you need to schedule an audit, have questions about an upcoming audit or are having trouble accessing our secure portal, please visit our Premium Audit website or contact Customer Service at 1.800.842.4271. Representatives are available Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. ET.

COVID-19 has created unique conditions that have impacted employers’ staffing and business operations. To help you keep track and report payroll during the pandemic, we have created a Payroll FAQs and Recordkeeping Tips document to help make your premium audit easier.
