Miscellaneous - Not Otherwise Classified

What is Class Code 9999?

Class code 9999 is the miscellaneous workers' compensation classification used for employees whose job duties do not fit any other specific NCCI class code. This catch-all classification is typically used for unusual or unique occupations that are difficult to categorize. Because it is a non-specific classification, it often carries a higher rate than more specific codes. Employers should work with their insurance agent to determine if a more specific code applies to their employees.
