Under Section 104 of the War Hazards Compensation Act (WHCA), private insurance carriers or self-insured employers may seek reimbursement for payments made in conjunction with a WHCA-covered injury. Insurance carriers seeking WHCA reimbursement are required to submit an actuarial attestation annually to facilitate accurate claims processing. Each authorized insurance carrier shall submit this actuarial attestation by no later than March 1st of each year for all their Defense Base Act policies with policy effective dates during the preceding calendar year. For ease of administration, this requirement can be met through the use of this form. The information requested in this form is to be provided on an annual basis, though it can also be provided in another manner so long as it contains all requested information and attestation.
