The following provisions of this rule govern when an insurer cancels or fails to renew a workers’ compensation insurance policy or surety bond:

(1)

An insurer canceling coverage under ORS 656.427 (Termination of workers’ compensation insurance contract or surety bond liability by insurer) for an employer who has an undisputed premium obligation not more than 30 days past due shall take the following actions:

(a)

At the time the insurer gives notice of the cancellation, the insurer shall notify the employer of the right to placement in the Plan if eligible under OAR 836-043-0043;

(b)

Provide the employer, not later than the tenth day after the employer’s contact for Plan coverage, an accurately filled-in “Request for Coverage” form, using the form prescribed in Exhibits 1 and 2 to OAR 836-043-0024 (Right to Apply); and

(c)

The insurer shall date stamp the request for coverage identifying the insurer’s name and forward the form to the Plan administrator with payment, not later than the fifth day after receiving the signed request form from the employer.

(2)

An employer or its agent desiring Plan coverage, whose coverage is being cancelled or nonrenewed under ORS 656.427 (Termination of workers’ compensation insurance contract or surety bond liability by insurer) and who does not have an undisputed premium obligation more than 30 days past due, shall:

(a)

Give notice to the canceling or nonrenewing insurer, prior to the termination of coverage, that the employer intends to become an insured employer under the Plan; and

(b)

Verify coverage elections and other information provided in the Request for Coverage form (Exhibits 1 and 2 to OAR 836-043-0024 (Right to Apply)), and sign the request form and return the form with the deposit premium check to the canceling or nonrenewing insurer before the end of coverage or not later than the tenth day after the insurer issues the Request for Coverage form, if later.

(3)

The Plan Administrator shall process the Request for Coverage form received with a deposit premium prior to the coverage ending date in the manner provided for a Plan application, except that the Plan Administrator shall bind coverage under the Plan for Request for Coverage upon the date of receipt of the form (Exhibits 1 and 2 to OAR 836-043-0024 (Right to Apply)) by the canceling or nonrenewing insurer in accordance with this rule or the ending date of previous coverage, if later.
