Participating states are required to perform audits each year on carriers who retreat from one payment bracket to a lower payment bracket, to verify that the company has properly deducted vehicles from its UCR payment. If a carrier neither pays what the state shows it to owe nor justifies its retreat, the state shall, pursuant to the requirements of due process, determine to suspend the carrier’s current year UCR registration, pending the carrier’s acceptable compliance noted in Step 1.
