Notice Terminating Prior Rejection of Coverage (Form 17A) - ONLINE

The executive officer that elects to revoke a prior rejection of coverage should understand that they are electing to accept coverage under the provisions of the Workers’ Compensation Act, where they had previously chosen to not be covered. The form must be completed fully and accurately. When listing the name of the corporation or LLC the name should be the same as the name in the Charter by which the corporation or LLC is licensed. The business name and the officer’s name listed on the Form 17A should match those listed on the Form 16A when coverage was rejected for the officer/manager. The form must be signed and dated by the officer revoking a prior rejection of coverage and by a representative of the employer.

Once Insurance Department review is completed and the revocation approved, the Commission will notify the officer, the employer and the insurer of the Revocation of Prior Rejection of Coverage. Please note, coverage shall not be extended for injuries that occur within five days of the giving of revocation notice, pursuant to Virginia Code § 65.2-300.
