Ohio Administrative Code › Title 4123 - Bureau of Workers' Compensation › Chapter 4123-17 - General Rating for the State Insurance Fund › Section 4123-17-42 - Eligibility for retrospective rating

Current through all regulations passed and filed through July 1, 2024
(A) An employer that is either a private or a
			 public employer taxing district as defined in division (B)(1) of section
			 4123.01 of the Revised Code may
			 be eligible for either the tier I or tier II retrospective rating plan
			 depending upon satisfying the eligibility requirements for either the tier I or
			 tier II retrospective rating plan as described in this rule.
(B) For both the tier I and tier II
			 retrospective rating plans, the employer must satisfy the following
			 requirements as of the application deadline:
(1) The employer must be current with respect
			 to all payments due the bureau, as defined in paragraph (A)(1)(b) of rule
			 4123-17-14 of the Administrative
			 Code.
(2) The employer cannot have
			 cumulative lapses in workers' compensation coverage in excess of fifteen days
			 within the last five rating years.
(3) The employer must report actual payroll
			 for the preceding policy year and pay any premium due upon reconciliation of
			 estimated premium and actual premium for that policy year no later than the
			 date set forth in rule
			 4123-17-14 of the Administrative
			 Code. An employer will be deemed to have met this requirement if the bureau
			 receives the payroll report and the employer pays premium associated with such
			 report before the expiration of any grace period established by the
			 administrator pursuant to paragraph (B) of rule
			 4123-17-16 of the Administrative
			 Code.
(4) The employer must be in
			 an active policy status. The administrator may waive this requirement for a new
			 business entity moving into Ohio. For purposes of this rule, "active policy
			 status" does not include a policy that is a no coverage policy or a policy that
			 is lapsed.
(5) The employer's
			 estimated experience-rated premium for the retrospective rating year must be
			 greater than or equal to the minimum experience-rated premium threshold listed
			 on the employer's retrospective rating minimum premium percentages table,
			 contained in the appendices to rule
			 4123-17-53 of the Administrative
			 Code. If estimated premium is less than the minimum experience-rated premium
			 threshold listed on the employer's retrospective rating minimum premium
			 percentages table, the bureau will reject the application. In the event the
			 estimated experience-rated premium is equal to or greater than the minimum
			 premium threshold but the actual premium is less than the minimum
			 experience-rated premium threshold, the retrospective rating plan remains in
			 effect for that risk and the minimum premium is based on the minimum
			 experience-rated premium threshold multiplied by the appropriate minimum
			 premium percentage for the hazard group and the claim limit/maximum premium
			 percentage selected.

			 rejected.

			 year.

			 original application must be filed on another application form for the
			 retrospective rating plan prior to the filing deadline. Any changes made must
