BI’s Article search uses Boolean search capabilities. If you are not familiar with these principles, here are some quick tips.

To search specifically for more than one word, put the search term in quotation marks. For example, “workers compensation”. This will limit your search to that combination of words.

To search for a combination of terms, use quotations and the & symbol. For example, “hurricane” & “loss”.

Transferring workers comp liabilities

Workers Comp Coverage More + Less -

Terminated group self-insurance trusts in New York may apply to the state Workers' Compensation Board to transfer their workers compensation liabilities by purchasing loss portfolio insurance, which the state calls an assumption-of-liability policy. In a December circular, the Workers' Compensation Board said such a policy must be:

• In a form approved by the superintendent of insurance and be issued by a state-licensed insurer

• Issued based on a “single complete premium payment” made in advance by the group self-insurer

• Noncancelable for any cause

• Purchased after the group self-insurer satisfies all outstanding penalties and assessments
