The proposed rulemaking provides guidance to current, former and prospective self-insurers regarding allowable, purpose-specific methods for use when determining a self-insured’s Net Worth. The proposed rulemaking also provides for an increase in the maximum dollar-amount (and, in the alternative an increase in the percentage-amount of a self-insured’s net worth) of a self-insured’s per occurrence retention rate. The proposed increase in the maximum amount of the per occurrence retention rate provides self-insurers with a measure of flexibility in controlling the costs of excess insurance.
