Chapter:

RULES FOR SELF-INSURERS UNDER THE WORKERS' COMPENSATION ACT

Overview

RULE:

69L-5.209	Financial Statements Reporting
69L-5.215	Parental Guaranty
69L-5.219	Excess Insurance
69L-5.222	Revocation and Employer Compliance

PURPOSE:

The proposed rulemaking amends Rule 69L-5.209, F.A.C., deleting references to a Current or Former Self-Insurer’s Net Worth requirements, with regards to Financial Statements Reporting requirements; the proposed rule is renumbered, accordingly. Proposed Rule 69L-5.225, F.A.C., is amended to provide guidance to Current and Former Self-Insured entities regarding purpose-specific distinctions in methodologies used when determining a self-insured’s Net Worth. Proposed Rule 69L-5.219, F.A.C., is amended to increase a self-insurer’s maximum per occurrence retention from the greater of $500,000 or 1% of the self-insurer’s net worth to the greater of $600,000 or 1.5% of the self-insurer’s Net Worth, and to clarify factors that the Department must consider when reviewing a Current Self-Insurer’s request for a higher self-insured retention. The aforementioned changes are made to reflect inflation in the costs of claims and to provide self-insurers with a measure of control over premium costs for excess insurance. Proposed Rule 69L-5.215, F.A.C., is amended to delete erroneous references to Rule 69L-5.209, F.A.C., and to make certain technical changes.

SUBJECT:

Amendments to Rules 69L-5.209, 5.215, 5.219, and 5.225, F.A.C., relating to the determination of a self-insurer’s Net Worth. The proposed rulemaking also includes certain technical changes.
