How Workers Comp Claim Development Works There are two steadfast rules in Workers Comp ratings. They are: Your policy does not show up in your Experience Mod until the following year. Yes, the claim totals are delayed for one year. For example – your 01/01/2019 – 01/01/2020 policy will not affect your company's Mod until 1/1/2021 – 1/1/2022.

The chart could have been continued through today, but the numbers reported to the rating bureau (right column) have not been reported after 04/01/202...
