Independent Contractor designation must be filed with the director under which statement?

In Rhode Island, the official recognition of someone as an independent contractor for workers’ compensation purposes comes only after a formal notice of designation is filed with the director under § 28-29-17.1. That filing is the act that records and validates the independent contractor status, making it enforceable for coverage and related obligations. Therefore, the statement that describes a person who has filed a notice of designation with the director under § 28-29-17.1 is the correct one. The other scenarios describe individuals who are either employees, or who operate without any designation, or who provide services without completing the required designation—situations that do not meet the statutory requirement for an independent contractor designation.
