Annual reporting for employers without workers’ compensation insurance

By law, Texas employers that do not provide workers’ compensation insurance must submit two types of forms to the Division of Workers’ Compensation (DWC). 

DWC Form-005, Employer Notice of No Coverage or Termination of Coverage 

Notifies DWC that an employer does not have workers’ compensation insurance or has terminated coverage. Employers must file annually with DWC between February 1, 2018, through April 30, 2018. DWC recently revised the DWC Form-005 to make it easier for employers to know what is needed on the form and to include updated frequently asked questions.  Employers should use the new form for the 2018 reporting period.

DWC Form-007, Employer’s Report of Non-covered Employee's Occupational Injury or Disease 

Notifies DWC that a non-subscribing employer, with five or more employees, has experienced an on-the-job or workplace-related injury, illness or fatality.

Need help filling out the DWC Form-007?

Employers can file the DWC Form-005 online, by fax, or by mail. The DWC Form-007 can be filed by fax or by mail. Employers who fail to file these forms on time may be subject to enforcement actions and/or administrative penalties.
