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”.

Criminal investigation of SCIF complete, no charges filed

Reprints

SAN FRANCISCO—A four-year criminal investigation into potential misconduct by former California State Compensation Insurance Fund employees and directors ended without charges being filed.

In 2007, the California Highway Patrol, California Department of Insurance and San Francisco District Attorney’s Office formed a joint task force to investigate financial practices related to SCIF’s group insurance programs, which provided discounted workers compensation insurance for members of trade associations.

The investigation came after the firing of former SCIF President James C. Tudor and former SCIF Vp Renee Koren. At the time, SCIF attributed the firing to results of an internal review, which focused in part on its group insurance program.

But on Wednesday, current SCIF President Tom Rowe, notified employees in a memo that he had been informed that the task force completed its investigation and charges will not be filed.
