Common invoice questions

Have questions about your invoice? Please see the below explanations for more details.

Why does my invoice amount differ from my installment schedule?

If you pay your workers’ compensation premium in installments, the amount due you see on your invoice will include an installment fee. If you pay your bill online with your checking account, your installment fee will be waived. If your account is on AutoPay through your checking account, your invoice amount will still include the installment fee, but this will still be removed when the bill is paid.

Why am I seeing a late pay/reinstatement charge?

If your policy went into pending cancellation for non-payment or audit noncompliance, but you then paid or completed your audit prior to the final cancellation deadline, you may see a reinstatement fee on your next invoice.

What do you specifically mean by “invoice date” and “due date”?

The invoice date is the date we generated the invoice and the due date is the date your payment is due. If you submit a payment after the invoice date, this invoice may already be considered paid in full. To keep up to date on your invoices and balance due, please visit sfmic.com/epay to become a registered ePay user. There you can manage your account, see invoices and make or update your payment methods.

It says my account is on AutoPay, do I still have to pay?

If you are on AutoPay, then your invoice should be paid automatically on the invoice date with no action from you. Invoices are typically issued six weeks before the bill is due, so if you canceled AutoPay within that window, then you would still need to pay before the due date using another method.

What is a Minnesota Special Compensation Fund assessment?

This assessment is included in the cost of your policy and failure to pay it may result in cancellation. The assessment goes toward paying all governmental costs of administering workers’ compensation and special programs of the system. It includes payment of benefits to injured employees of uninsured employers. This mandatory assessment is collected by SFM and remitted to the State of Minnesota.
