Pending X-Mod Statuses on WCIRB Connect®

January 27, 2022

If the Worker’s Compensation Insurance Rating Bureau of California (WCIRB) receives all required information, experience modifications (X-Mods) may be published as early as four months prior to the policy effective date; however, there are some issues that delay the publication of X-Mods. 

To find the status of an X-Mod:

  1. Log in to WCIRB Connect®. (If you do not have a login for WCIRB Connect, this is a great time to get one! Visit the WCIRB Connect page on wcirb.com to enroll.)
     
  2. Either enter a Bureau Number at the top of the screen, or click the highlighted “Find X-Mods, Assigned Class Codes, Rate Sheets, Inspection Reports” button in the top menu.
     
  3. On the Search Criteria screen, enter the FEIN, Bureau Number or policyholder name. 
     
  4. Click on the Bureau Number for your policyholder (on the left-hand side of the screen). 
     
  5. On the Policyholder Details screen, the X-Mod Status column shows the status reason for each Rating Effective Date.
