    ClosedPart 1 Workers Compensation States

Field

What is this?

State

Retro Rating Plan

Retrospective Rating Plans permits the adjustment of the final premium based on the actual premiums and losses of the applicant, subject to the plan's minimum and maximum premium limits. One to three year plans may be available. Check with the company for available plans.

# Years Retro in Effect

If the Retrospective Rating Plan applies, how long has it been in effect?

Anniversary Rating Date

Normally, the rates used are in effect on the effective date of the policy. NCCI manual rules require that the rates apply for a period of one year. If a policy is cancelled or short-termed, the rating bureau requires the original effective date be considered the Normal Anniversary Rating Date for both rates and experience modifications. This is temporary and will last until the next renewal when the policy effective date will again determine the rates.

This rule is intended to prevent wholesale cancellations by insureds and companies to take advantage of rate and/or rule changes.

For cancelled or short-termed policies, enter the original effective date.

Additional Company Information

Enter any further company or state specific information that helps in underwriting this policy.

Additional Plan Information
