West Virginia Offices of the Insurance Commissioner 2009 Annual ...

Employer Violator System (EVS)
The Division reviews all employers reported to not have the mandatory workers’ compensation
insurance and places the employer and the officers of the business on the listing. This electronic report
allows other state agencies to search for and identify an employer that may apply for other state
licensure or permits. If the employer is on EVS, other agencies may not grant licensure or permits
until the default is cured and the business is appropriately insured. In 2009, there were 32,345
accounts listed on EVS.
Liens, Injunctions, and Regulatory Compliance
The Division prepared and mailed 1,666 liens to the county clerk of West Virginia Counties in 2009.
The liens were placed on the business as well as the officers or the members of the business as listed
on the West Virginia Secretary of State website. During the same timeframe, 603 lien releases were
prepared and mailed to the county clerk offices. The liens would be placed due to the employer not
working with the Division to cure the default and the lien releases were performed at the time the
default was cured.
There were 204 posting requests prepared and forwarded to Regulatory Compliance and the Office of
Inspector General during 2009.
