Submissions

Send this, and the file moves today.

No duplicate applications and no re-keying. Send the documents the client already has — intake extracts and normalizes them into one packet every market on the panel accepts. Same-day acknowledgment. Indication in 48 hours.

The checklist

Required, helpful, and nothing performative.

Completed application

Required

Your agency's standard application or our structured intake — legal entity, FEIN, ownership, operations description, and locations.

Loss runs, 3–5 years

Required

Currently valued within 90 days, carrier-generated, showing paid and reserved separately. Partial years are fine; gaps need a one-line explanation.

Payroll by class code

Required

Current and projected annual payroll broken out by class code and state. This is the single most common reason a file stalls.

Experience mod worksheet

Required

The current NCCI or state-bureau worksheet. If the account is not rated, say so — unrated is not a problem, an unexplained mod is.

Expiring dec page or declination letter

Required

Whichever applies. For a PEO route-out, the carrier's declination is what starts the clock.

Safety and return-to-work narrative

Helpful

One page. What changed after the claims that drove the mod. On a 2.00+ file this is often what makes the difference.

Census with benefits detail

Helpful

Needed only when a PEO or ASO placement is in play alongside the comp.

Open claim detail

Helpful

Adjuster notes or reserve rationale on any lost-time claim still open.

We do not host fillable ACORD forms. Our structured intake captures the same fields and returns a field-mapped prefill you can drop into your AMS, plus a branded ERA packet for the market.

What happens next

You will always know where the file is.

Same day

Acknowledged and screened

A human confirms receipt, the packet is normalized, and the risk is screened against every contracted market's written guidelines. If something is missing, you hear about it in that message — not three days later.

24 hours

Routed in parallel

Every market that qualifies under its written appetite receives the same complete packet at the same time. Four markets at once, not four applications in sequence.

48 hours

Indication back to you

The best indication comes back on the winning market's paper, co-branded with your agency and ready to present. If nothing clears, you get a written reason from each market — not silence.

Three ways to send it

Use whichever is closest to your desk.

Portal

Upload the file to the agent portal. One system of record, full status visibility, nothing to re-key.

Email

Send the packet to desk@employerriskadvisory.com. Intake extracts and normalizes it from the documents you already have.

Phone

Call 602-370-5846 and walk the desk through it. We'll open the file and tell you what's missing while you're still on the line.
