Group Rating

Description

-Be in an active status as of the application deadline. Employers who become active and obtain coverage or who lapse and do not reinstate their coverage by April 1 after the application deadline cannot participate in group rating; -Not be a member of more than one group. If you apply for more than one group on a valid group-rating application, BWC will reject you for all groups. Once you meet that criteria, apply for group rating through a trade association or other organization of which you are member. For the groups, they must possess a common purpose and demonstrate proven results from safety and loss-control practices. This helps confirm that the group's loss experience will differ from an individual employer's experience. BWC adjusts rates for groups that use experience-rating credibility tables appropriate to the employers taken as if the group was one big company. The group rating plan is an annual plan for the rating of a policy year. Largest possible discount and average discount statistics The largest possible discount for a 2007 group rating program is 90 percent. In 2004, the average group discount was 70 percent.
