RULES FOR SELF-INSURERS UNDER THE WORKERS' COMPENSATION ACT

Overview

RULE:

69L-5.205	Loss Data Reporting
69L-5.217	Civil Penalties and Fines

PURPOSE:

Rule 69L-5.205, F.A.C., is amended to clarify that former self-insurers must report loss data for the final period of authorization only once. The proposed amendments to Rule 69L-5.217, F.A.C., will reduce the penalties assessed against self-insurers for late filing of required forms, reports and documents and also recalculate penalties that were assessed against a self-insurer. If the self-insurer has already paid the penalty to the Department, the Department will refund the difference between the penalty paid and the new reduced penalty, unless the self-insurer owes any outstanding, unpaid penalties to the Department.

SUMMARY:

Rule 69L-5.205, F.A.C., clarifies that former self-insurers must report loss data for the final period of authorization only once. Rule 69L-5.217, F.A.C., reduces the penalties assessed against self-insurers for late filing of required forms and reports.
