The department will repeat the studies that resulted in the hazard group assignments and changes to retrospective plan tables that are shown in WAC 296-17-901, 296-17B-300, 296-17B-560, 296-17B-830, and 296-17B-910 through 296-17B-990. The repeated studies will determine whether the results are consistent with the expectation of improved fairness in the distribution of the retrospective rating refunds among participants. These repeated studies will be done by April 1, 2020.
[Statutory Authority: RCW 51.18.010(2), 51.04.020. WSR 17-12-020, § 296-17B-010, filed 5/30/17, effective 6/30/17. Statutory Authority: RCW 51.18.010 and 51.04.020(1).

296-17B-020
How to read these rules.
We have written these rules so that employers and group sponsors can understand how the retrospective rating program works, both generally and in detail. These rules are meant to be read together. Often, we will make simple statements in one section, followed in another section by more detailed explanations. We hope that the simple statements are helpful, but if there appears to be a conflict between the simple statements and the detailed explanations that follow, it is the detailed explanation that tells you what we do and how we do it.
[Statutory Authority: RCW 51.16.035, 51.16.100, 51.04.020(1), and 51.18.010. WSR 10-21-086, § 296-17B-020, filed 10/19/10, effective 11/19/10.]
296-17B-030
The language we use in these rules.
In these rules, when we say "we," we mean the retrospective rating program at the department of labor and industries. When we say "you," we mean either an individually enrolled employer or a sponsored group.
Except when the context specifically indicates, "you" does not mean an individual employer enrolled in a sponsored group.
We have tried to write these rules using plain language. When we use a word or phrase that means other than what it might ordinarily mean, an explanation of the word or phrase can be found in these rules.
[Statutory Authority: RCW 51.16.035, 51.16.100, 51.04.020(1), and 51.18.010. WSR 10-21-086, § 296-17B-030, filed 10/19/10, effective 11/19/10.]
296-17B-040
Which version of these rules applies to you?
If you participate in retrospective rating, either as an enrolled employer or a group sponsor, the rules in effect on the first day of a coverage period are the rules that will apply to you for that coverage period, even if some of these rules are changed later.
[Statutory Authority: RCW 51.16.035, 51.16.100, 51.04.020(1), and 51.18.010. WSR 10-21-086, § 296-17B-040, filed 10/19/10, effective 11/19/10.]
296-17B-100
Individual retrospective rating.
(1) We will enroll a qualified employer who applies for enrollment for individual retrospective rating. To qualify, an employer must:
(a) Have an industrial insurance account in good standing;
(b) Have paid standard premiums at least equivalent to the minimum premium listed in size group 1, Table 1, WAC 296-17B-900, in the four calendar quarters prior to applying for enrollment; and
(c) Apply for enrollment no later than the fifteenth day of the month before the calendar quarter in which the coverage period begins. The application must indicate the employer's choices regarding loss limits and whether its net insurance charges will be calculated using standard premiums or incurred losses as explained in these rules. The application must be signed by an owner, partner, corporate officer or managing member of the employer's business.
(2) To reenroll, a currently enrolled employer must submit a new enrollment application no later than the fifteenth day of the month before the calendar quarter in which the new coverage period will begin.
(3) Employers enrolled individually are responsible for retrospective rating premiums for the coverage period enrolled.
[Statutory Authority: RCW 51.16.035, 51.16.100, 51.04.020(1), and 51.18.010. WSR 10-21-086, § 296-17B-100, filed 10/19/10, effective 11/19/10.]
296-17B-200
Group retrospective rating—Overview.
In group retrospective rating, participating employers become members of an enrolled group sponsored by an approved organization. Employers continue to pay premiums directly to the department as determined by chapter 296-17 WAC. We calculate the group's retrospective rating premiums as though the standard premiums paid by members of the group were paid by the sponsor, and claims assigned to employer members were assigned to the group sponsor. Group sponsors are responsible for the retrospective rating premiums for the coverage period enrolled. If an adjustment results in us refunding premiums, the refund is the property of the group sponsor. If an adjustment results in us assessing additional premiums, the additional premiums are the responsibility of the group sponsor. With limited exceptions explained in these rules, the department is not involved in the private contractual relationship between group sponsor and group member.
[Statutory Authority: RCW 51.16.035, 51.16.100, 51.04.020(1), and 51.18.010. WSR 10-21-086, § 296-17B-200, filed 10/19/10, effective 11/19/10.]
296-17B-210
Qualifications for sponsoring organizations.
We will approve an organization that applies for group sponsorship if the organization:
(1) Has been in existence for at least four years;
(2) Is an organization with dues paying members; and
(3) Exists primarily for some purpose other than that of obtaining or offering insurance coverage or insurance related services.
[Statutory Authority: RCW 51.16.035, 51.16.100, 51.04.020(1), and 51.18.010. WSR 10-21-086, § 296-17B-210, filed 10/19/10, effective 11/19/10.]
296-17B-220
Qualifications for new groups.
We will enroll a new retrospective rating group only if:
(1) We approve the organization sponsoring the group;
(2) The members of the group qualify for group membership;
(3) The sponsor demonstrates an acceptable workplace safety and accident prevention plan for the group;
(4) The sponsor demonstrates an acceptable plan for cooperating with the department's claims management activities;
(5) At least half of the proposed members have been dues paying members of the sponsoring organization for at least one year;
(6) The standard premiums for the group members for the four quarters prior to enrollment total at least one million five hundred thousand dollars; and
(7) Enrolling the group will substantially improve workplace safety and accident prevention for its members.
[Statutory Authority: RCW 51.16.035, 51.16.100, 51.04.020(1), and 51.18.010. WSR 10-21-086, § 296-17B-220, filed 10/19/10, effective 11/19/10.]
296-17B-230
Qualifications for existing groups.
The department will reenroll an existing group if the sponsor asks for it to be reenrolled, and the group still meets the requirements of WAC 296-17B-220 (1) through (4) and (7). Existing groups must submit application for group enrollment, noting their plan selection, maximum and minimum loss ratios and single loss limit for each plan year. The application must be received by the department at least one month prior to the start of the new plan year.
[Statutory Authority: RCW 51.16.035, 51.16.100, 51.04.020(1), and 51.18.010. WSR 10-21-086, § 296-17B-230, filed 10/19/10, effective 11/19/10.]
296-17B-240
Enrolling a group.
An organization seeking to sponsor a group must notify us in writing of its intention to sponsor a group, select the industry category, and indicate its loss limit choices for the group no later than two months before the beginning of the coverage period. Organizations that have not previously been approved must at that time establish that the organization qualifies for group sponsorship. Evidence of qualification may include bylaws or articles of incorporation filed with the secretary of state.
We will not enroll a new group if the sponsoring organization also sponsors another group in a different industry category that has not yet received its final adjustment for its second coverage period.
[Statutory Authority: RCW 51.16.035, 51.16.100, 51.04.020(1), and 51.18.010. WSR 10-21-086, § 296-17B-240, filed 10/19/10, effective 11/19/10.]
296-17B-250
Employer qualifications for group membership.
An employer qualifies for membership in a group if the employer:
(1) Has an industrial insurance account in good standing;
(2) Is a dues paying member of the organization sponsoring the group;
(3) Is not enrolled in retrospective rating either as a member of a group or individually for the coverage period; and
(4) The employer satisfies the homogeneity requirement of WAC 296-17B-260.
[Statutory Authority: RCW 51.16.035, 51.16.100, 51.04.020(1), and 51.18.010. WSR 10-21-086, § 296-17B-250, filed 10/19/10, effective 11/19/10.]
296-17B-260
An employer may enroll in a group only if:
(1) We determine that the risk classes appropriately assigned to the employer are related to the industry category selected by the sponsoring organization for the group;
(2) The employer shares common ownership with an employer enrolled in the group that satisfies the requirements of subsection (1) of this section; or
(3) The employer has been a member of the group since prior to July 25, 1999.
In evaluating whether an employer's risk classes are related to the industry category, we will consider only those risk classes that define the nature of the employer's business operations insured with the state fund.
[Statutory Authority: RCW 51.16.035, 51.16.100, 51.04.020(1), and 51.18.010. WSR 10-21-086, § 296-17B-260, filed 10/19/10, effective 11/19/10.]
296-17B-270

296-17B-300
296-17B-400
(1) We will calculate your retrospective rating premiums three times for a coverage period.
(2) We will pick a date approximately nine months after the coverage period ends, determine your standard premiums and losses as of that date, and then calculate your retrospective rating premiums. If the standard premiums you have paid are higher than your retrospective rating premiums, we will refund you the difference. If the standard premiums you have paid are lower than your retrospective rating premiums, we will send you a notice and order of assessment directing you to pay us the difference.
(3) We will repeat this process of determining standard premiums and losses and calculating retro premiums approximately twenty-one and thirty-three months after the coverage period ended, netting the retro premiums against the retro premiums paid previously.
(4) For participants having multiple coverage periods being adjusted at the same time, we will add the adjustments together and either pay you the net amount due you or send you a notice and order of assessment directing you to pay the net difference.
(5) If we send you a notice of assessment you will have thirty days to pay us. We will charge you late penalties and interest pursuant to RCW 51.48.210 on retrospective rating premium assessments you do not pay within thirty days.
If you are enrolled individually and owe any section of the department money, we may withhold from your refund an amount equal to the debt.
[Statutory Authority: RCW 51.16.035, 51.16.100, 51.04.020(1), and 51.18.010. WSR 10-21-086, § 296-17B-400, filed 10/19/10, effective 11/19/10.]
296-17B-410
Calculating your retrospective rating premiums.
Your retrospective rating premiums will be evaluated at the time of each annual retrospective adjustment, and will be the sum of three charges:
• Premium administration expense charge;
• Incurred loss and expense charge;
• Net insurance charge.
[Statutory Authority: RCW 51.16.035, 51.16.100, 51.04.020(1), and 51.18.010. WSR 10-21-086, § 296-17B-410, filed 10/19/10, effective 11/19/10.]
296-17B-420
Premium administration expense charge.
You will pay a premium administration expense charge for your share of the expenses of the industrial insurance program that are not directly related to claims administration. To determine your premium administration expense charge, our actuaries will multiply your standard premiums by the premium administration expense factor, which is four and three-tenths percent. This charge is not performance adjusted.
The premium administration expense factor was determined using premium and expense data from fiscal years 2013 through 2015.
[Statutory Authority: RCW 51.18.010(2), 51.04.020. WSR 17-12-020, § 296-17B-420, filed 5/30/17, effective 6/30/17. Statutory Authority: RCW 51.16.035, 51.16.100, 51.04.020(1), and 51.18.010. WSR 10-21-086, § 296-17B-420, filed 10/19/10, effective 11/19/10.]
296-17B-430
296-17B-440
296-17B-500
Determining your standard premiums.
Employers are required to pay accident fund, medical aid stay-at-work and supplemental pension fund premiums according to chapter 296-17 WAC. Standard premiums are the premiums an employer pays to the accident and medical aid funds under chapter 296-17 WAC for employment during the coverage period, and do not include either stay-at-work or supplemental pension fund premiums.
[Statutory Authority: RCW 51.18.010 and 51.04.020(1). WSR 12-21-054, § 296-17B-500, filed 10/15/12, effective 12/14/12. Statutory Authority: RCW 51.16.035, 51.16.100, 51.04.020(1), and 51.18.010. WSR 10-21-086, § 296-17B-500, filed 10/19/10, effective 11/19/10.]
296-17B-510
Assigning claims to coverage periods.
We will include your industrial injury claims with a date of injury that falls within the coverage period.
We will include occupational disease claims with a date of last injurious exposure with you (prior to the filing of the claim) that falls within the coverage period.
For an employer enrolled in a group after the start of a group's coverage period, we will only consider the employer's claims related to the calendar quarters for which the employer was enrolled.
[Statutory Authority: RCW 51.16.035, 51.16.100, 51.04.020(1), and 51.18.010. WSR 10-21-086, § 296-17B-510, filed 10/19/10, effective 11/19/10.]
296-17B-520
Determining your losses.
We determine your losses at the time of an adjustment.
To determine your losses, we first determine the case incurred losses for your claims. To these, we apply discounted loss development and expected loss ratio factors and your single loss occurrence limit to determine your losses incurred for each claim, as explained in these rules. The sum of your losses incurred will be your loss incurred, unless your maximum or minimum loss ratios apply.
[Statutory Authority: RCW 51.18.010 and 51.04.020(1). WSR 12-21-054, § 296-17B-520, filed 10/15/12, effective 12/14/12. Statutory Authority: RCW 51.16.035, 51.16.100, 51.04.020(1), and 51.18.010. WSR 10-21-086, § 296-17B-520, filed 10/19/10, effective 11/19/10.]
296-17B-530
Determining case incurred losses.
If a claim is closed, we will use the actual losses for the claim as defined in WAC 296-17-870(1). If the claim is open, we will use either the case reserve amounts or the actual losses, whichever are higher.
[Statutory Authority: RCW 51.18.010 and 51.04.020(1). WSR 12-21-054, § 296-17B-530, filed 10/15/12, effective 12/14/12. Statutory Authority: RCW 51.16.035, 51.16.100, 51.04.020(1), and 51.18.010. WSR 10-21-086, § 296-17B-530, filed 10/19/10, effective 11/19/10.]
296-17B-540
296-17B-550
Determining your incurred losses.
If the sum of the losses incurred for your claims divided by your standard premiums and multiplied by the performance adjustment factor is greater than the maximum loss ratio you selected, your incurred losses will be reduced accordingly. If it is less than the minimum loss ratio you selected, your incurred losses will be increased accordingly.
[Statutory Authority: RCW 51.16.035, 51.16.100, 51.04.020(1), and 51.18.010. WSR 10-21-086, § 296-17B-550, filed 10/19/10, effective 11/19/10.]
296-17B-560
296-17B-600
Performance adjustment—Overview.
The department uses performance adjustment to ensure equity between employers that participate in retrospective rating and employers that do not. The goal of performance adjustment is to make sure that overall, after adjustments, retro participants pay the same share of their losses as employers that do not participate in retro.
[Statutory Authority: RCW 51.16.035, 51.16.100, 51.04.020(1), and 51.18.010. WSR 10-21-086, § 296-17B-600, filed 10/19/10, effective 11/19/10.]
296-17B-610
How we determine the performance adjustment factor.
Our actuaries compare standard premiums and losses of employers in retro with those of employers not in retro to determine a target refund amount that would result in the groups of retro and nonretro employers funding the same percentage of their claim costs. In doing this, the actuaries pool the experience of the coverage period being adjusted with the experience from the coverage periods beginning the three previous quarters, and take into account possible future changes in losses based on historical data. The actuaries then add interest to the target amount to take into consideration the time value of money.
A performance adjustment factor (rounded to four decimal places) is then selected, so that when we calculate adjustments, the sum of all adjustments will most nearly equal the target refund amount.
[Statutory Authority: RCW 51.16.035, 51.16.100, 51.04.020(1), and 51.18.010. WSR 10-21-086, § 296-17B-610, filed 10/19/10, effective 11/19/10.]
296-17B-620
296-17B-700
Protest and appeals.
If at the time of an adjustment you are disputing a decision affecting a claim's losses and you want us to recalculate your adjustment after that dispute has been resolved, you must protest the adjustment and identify the claim and dispute pending. We will issue a further order indicating that the adjustment may be revised after the dispute regarding the claim is resolved. After the dispute has been resolved, if you still want us to recalculate the adjustment, you must notify us, and we will recalculate your adjustment as though the dispute had been resolved at the time of the adjustment. We will not pay interest on any amount refunded.

To participate in retrospective rating, you as an employer or group sponsor need to have an account in good standing. This means that you need to have an open industrial insurance account with our industrial insurance program, have filed all required reports, and have paid all industrial insurance premiums, penalties and interest (or be current with a repayment plan the department agreed to), and not owe a debt to any other section of the department.

If you as a sponsored group receive a net assessment for two consecutive coverage periods, you will be placed on probationary status. We will review your workplace safety and accident prevention plan and your methods of cooperation with the department's claims management activities, and contact you to discuss ways of improving your performance. If you receive a net assessment in the following coverage period, you will be denied future enrollment, and your sponsoring organization will not be allowed to sponsor another group in the same industry category for the five years following the third coverage period with a net assessment.

Refunds of standard premiums after final adjustment.
If, after the final adjustment for a coverage period, it is determined that an employer enrolled in retrospective rating is entitled to a refund of standard premiums for any reason other than the recalculation of experience provided for in WAC 296-17-870(3), we will adjust the amount of standard premiums to be refunded such that the net impact on the state fund is the same as if refund had taken place before the final adjustment.

An employer that shares common ownership with one or more other employers cannot enroll in retrospective rating unless all employers sharing common ownership that are within the same industry category also enroll. Employers sharing common ownership can enroll individually or as members of a sponsored group. Employers sharing common ownership that are enrolled individually can choose to be rated separately or together.
Employers share common ownership when:
(1) One or more owners, directly or indirectly, own a majority interest in both employers; or
(2) One employer, directly or indirectly, owns a majority interest in another employer.

Expected loss ratio factors.
An expected loss ratio factor is a factor applied to case incurred loss amounts of claims and discounted loss development factors so that the ratio of discounted developed loss to standard premiums for the entire state fund used in the actuarial calculations equals the expected loss ratios. By doing this, loss ratios will not be expected to change simply because the department changed the rates for one fund significantly more than the rates for another fund. The expected loss ratios are:
