Spring Hill, FL asked in Workers' Compensation for Florida

Q: Is my Florida worker comp Exemption Certificate valid to a Ga company we work for?

I am a 1099 subcontractor in Florida. I work for a company in Georgia.

Although my work is completed they refuse to pay me due to a workers comp insurance dispute. Meaning I have a FL workers comp exemption and they state is is not good since they are in Georgia. I have worked for them for 2 years and supplied my exempt cert and they never said a word until now. They want to back charge me $18k for an audit they say they are getting.

Can they hold my money ransom?
