Ohio Administrative Code › Title 4123 - Bureau of Workers' Compensation › Chapter 4123-19 - General Procedures for State Insurance Fund; Self-Insuring Employers › Section 4123-19-05 - Where a self-insuring employer becomes a state insurance fund employer

Current through all regulations passed and filed through July 1, 2024
(A)
			 This rule applies to a self-insuring employer that transfers to the state
			 insurance fund.
(B) Where a
			 self-insuring employer becomes a state insurance fund employer, the employer
			  shall be rated at the appropriate experience modifier to the
			 employer's basic premium rate. A self-insuring employer, or a subsidiary, or a
			 part thereof, that returns to the state insurance fund as a state
			 insurance fund employer shall provide the
			 administrator with compensation and benefits costs for itself and for any
			 subsidiaries by claim, and payroll by manual classification and year, and any
			 other information as the administrator  may require. The self-insuring employer shall submit this
			 information by the date set by the administrator, and in a format determined by
			 the administrator. This information must be submitted each year following the
			 employer's return to the state insurance fund, for as many years as required by
			 the administrator to develop the employer's state fund experience modification
			 factor. The employer may be required to submit additional information to the
			 administrator if the administrator determines that additional information is
			 needed to develop the employer's state fund experience modification factor. The
			 administrator shall use this information to develop a state fund experience
			 modification factor based in whole or in part on the employer's selfinsured
			 experience.
(C) Failure to provide
			 the required information will result in assignment of an experience
			 modification factor of two and ineligibility for employer programs for the
			 selfinsuring employer that returns to the state insurance fund, until such time
			 as the required information is provided or a state insurance fund experience
			 modification factor is developed based fully on the employer's state insurance
			 fund experience. This provision does not apply to a client employer of a
			 self-insured 
								alternate employer organization or self-insured professional
			 employer organization.
(D)
			 The adjustment of the self-insurance premium of such employer shall be computed
			 on an earned premium basis as of the date of transfer from self-insurance to
			 the state insurance fund, which adjustment shall be controlled by the rules
			 controlling the ordinary premium adjustment.
(E) A self-insuring employer that transfers
			 to the state insurance fund shall continue to administer self-insured claims
			 for dates of injury, disease, or death during the period of self-insurance, and
			 the employer shall be responsible to continue to pay compensation and benefits
			 directly. Further, the employer shall remain obligated to pay to the bureau the
			 self-insuring employer assessment calculated on the basis of the paid
			 compensation for such claims attributable to the individual self-insuring
			 employer according to the provisions of division (J) of section
			 4123.35 of the Revised Code and
			 the provisions of rule
			 4123-17-32 of the Administrative
			 Code. An employer that has had its self-insurance status revoked, not renewed,
			 or cancelled, and the employer is not required to enter the state insurance
			 fund, must comply with the provisions of rule
			 4123-17-32 of the Administrative
			 Code.
