Frequently Asked Questions

Employer Notice of No Coverage or Termination of Coverage

Who must file the DWC Form-005?

You must file the DWC Form-005 if you:

• do not have workers' compensation insurance, or

• you have terminated your workers' compensation insurance coverage

However, if your only employees are exempt from coverage under the Texas Workers' Compensation Act (for example, certain domestic workers, and certain

farm and ranch workers) you do not have to file.

Failure to file the form when required may subject the employer to administrative penalties.

How do I file the DWC Form-005?

Employers can submit the DWC Form-005 to the TDI-DWC by:

• filing electronically on the TDI website at:

https://txcomp.tdi.state.tx.us/TXCOMPWeb/common/home.jsp

• faxing the form to (512) 804-4146; or

• mailing the form to the address listed at the top of the form.

When do I file the DWC Form-005?

You must file a separate DWC Form-005 each time one of the following conditions exists:

• Annually between February 1st and April 30th of each calendar year;

• Within 30 Days of hiring your first employee, unless this due date falls between February 1st and April 30th and you submit the form within this

time period;

• Within 10 Days of receiving a request (to file the DWC Form-005) from DWC;

• Within 10 Days after notifying your workers' compensation insurance carrier that you are terminating coverage unless you purchase a new

policy or become a certified self-insurer;

How do I determine my filing start date?

Use May 1, unless:

1. You have never filed a DWC Form-005, then the start date is the first day you did not have coverage (see either #2 or #3 to determine the specific

date).

2. You terminated workers' compensation insurance coverage, then the start date is the first date you did not have coverage.

3. You hired your first employee, then the start date is the first day the employee started working.

How do I determine my filing period end date?

Use April 30, unless:

• You purchased, or plan to purchase a workers' compensation insurance policy, then the End Date is the last date you did not, or will not, have

coverage.

What is a NAICS code?

NAICS (pronounced "nakes") is the six-digit North American Industry Classification System code that identifies the classification of your business. You may be

able to locate the code in either:

1. Block 5 of your Unemployment Quarterly Report (Form C-3) from the Texas Workforce Commission; and/or;

2. If you have multiple NAICS codes, they may appear in the left margin of the Multiple Worksite Report - BLS 3020 from the U.S. Bureau of Labor

Statistics; or

3. For more help with NAICS codes, visit the NAICS web page at:

www.naics.com

Select "Find Your NAICS Code" from the top menu and use the "NAICS Keyword Search" to enter one or more words that generally describe your business. For

example, if you are in the restaurant business, enter "restaurant" and get a complete listing of NAICS codes for the restaurant industry.
