**POST /api/v1/assignments**

to attach insurance coverage to any job assignment a contractor
takes after the contractor has gone active on the 1099Policy
platform (i.e., after completing thier insurance application
successfully).

## Parameters



### Body: application/json (object)

- **bind** (boolean)
  Indicates whether to start the process of binding coverage, which includes notifying and subsequently charging the independent contractor for the premium amount due. Defaults to `true`.

  ID of the contractor
- **coverage_type** (array[string])
  An array of coverage types that can include one or more of the following insurance coverage values: `general`, `professional`, `workers-comp`, `media`, and `cyber`. If provided, coverage type is factored into the eligibility determination (i.e., does contractor have an active `workers-comp` policy, etc). Defaults to the coverage types of the most recent active policy if `coverage_type` is not provided.
- **effective_date** (integer)
  The job assignment start date, measured in seconds since the Unix epoch. This date must be set in the future. The default effective_date is the next day.
- **end_date** (integer)
  The projected job assignment end date, measured in seconds since the Unix epoch. This date must be after the effective date. If the end_date is on the same day as the effective_date, it will automatically be adjusted to the start of the next day. The default end_date is 30 days after the effective date.
- **job** (string)
  ID of the job that the contractor was paid to do.
- **policy** (string)
  ID of the policy that you want attached to the assignment. Defaults to the most recent active policy with a matching job category code, work state and contractor home state.
