OAR 836-043-0009
Participation by Insurers and Insurance Producers

(1)

All insurers authorized to transact workers’ compensation insurance in Oregon are required to participate in the Plan and subscribe to the organizing principles for Oregon.

(2)

Failure of an insurer to comply with the Plan is grounds for revocation of the insurer’s certificate of authority to transact workers’ compensation insurance.

(3)

Each insurance producer who is authorized to transact the class of property and casualty insurance is authorized to transact workers’ compensation insurance offered by the Plan. The Director of the Department of Consumer and Business Services may terminate a producer’s authority under this section for cause.

(4)

An insurer may terminate participation in this Plan as of the close of the calendar year in which its authority to write workers’ compensation is terminated. With respect to all policies in force on the effective date of an insurer’s termination, the liability of the terminating insurer will cease on the succeeding anniversary date of each such policy. Termination of participation does not discharge or otherwise affect liabilities incurred prior to the anniversary date of such policies, and the insurer will be charged or credited in due course with the insurer’s proper share of all expenses, losses, and profits allocable thereof.

(5)

All insurers participating in the Plan through the Reinsurance Agreements provided for in the organizing principles shall share in the writings, expenses, servicing allowance and losses. Each insurer’s participation in the Plan shall:

(a)

Be in the proportion that the total net premiums of all members participating in the Plan in Oregon during the preceding calendar years bear to the aggregate direct premiums written in Oregon during the preceding calendar years by all insurers participating through the Reinsurance Agreements;

(b)

Except as provided in OAR 836-043-0017 (Plan Administrator)(2)(k), exclude that portion of the premiums attributable to the operation of the Plan; and

(c)

Be determined on the basis of the direct premiums as reported in the most recent annual reports filed with the regulatory authority.
