We did not receive a copy of a Unit Statistical Report or any Rejection Edit Errors for April, 2009. Does this mean that all of our records were accepted as okay?
MWCIA discontinued sending "hard copy" reports and rejection letters relating to USR data effective January 1, 2009. These reports are now available to members via MWCIA’s website as part of our Manage USR program. Please refer to Circular Letter No. 08-1533 for further details regarding this change.

Can I request a Certificate of Insurance from MWCIA?
You can attach a request for a Certificate of Insurance to an online or hard copy application. MWCIA does not issue the certificate. The request is forwarded to the servicing contractor along with the assignment. If the application was submitted without the request for a certificate, you should contact the servicing contractor.
