Question: 
If a Submitter discovers there is an error on a file submission that has already been accepted and processed by the WCIRB, how does the Submitter correct the error?
Answer: 

If a submitted file is deemed so erroneous that the entire data submission should be deleted, a File Type R Replacement containing a Record Total = ‘0’ can be submitted. By retaining the ability to submit this type of Replacement File, Submitters are able to delete all of the records in the Original File submission and then re-report the information correctly.
