Workers’ Compensation Assigned Risk Rates by Class

1 1 Workers Compensation Assigned Risk Rates by Class Effective November 1, 2009 West Virginia employers are under a statutory obligation to maintain workers Compensation insurance. Generally, employers in West Virginia can purchase workers Compensation coverage through one of over 190 insurance companies that are currently providing workers Compensation insurance to West Virginia employers. However, if an employer is unable to obtain workers Compensation through the voluntary market they can obtain coverage though the Residual Market, also known as the Assigned Risk Plan (the Plan ).

2 The Assigned Risk Plan provides West Virginia employers with a means for obtaining workers Compensation coverage when it cannot be obtained in the voluntary insurance market. Prior to becoming eligible for coverage through the Assigned Risk Plan, an employer must receive two written refusals to provide coverage by voluntary market carriers. One of those refusals must be from the current carrier, when applicable. The National Council on Compensation Insurance, Inc. (NCCI) serves as administrator for the West Virginia s Assigned Risk Plan.

3 Information about the Plan can be provided by your insurance agent, or at Residual market policyholders receive the same statutory workers Compensation coverage and services provided by the voluntary market. Should you have questions about residual market coverage, feel free to call NCCI s Customer Service Center at 800-NCCI-123 (800-622-4123).
