CHWCA Financial Overview

2013 DIVIDEND CALCULATION CHWCA’s Financial Stability Plan provides for an ultra-conservative approach to the declaration of dividends. If CHWCA’s program as a whole is funded above the 90% confidence level, an additional $2.5 million (5 times CHWCA’s SIR) is subtracted to determine if funds are “available” for the issuance of dividends. Program years must be a full five years old to be “eligible” for the issuance of dividends, to conservatively allow for adequate claim development in more recent years. Dividends have been declared: In April 2007 in the amount of $2.26 million, In April 2010 in the amount of $2.33 million, In April 2011 in the amount of $2.25 million, and In August 2011 in the amount of $1.25 million (to fund the mid- layer pool).

Historical Highlights: A Conservative Approach to Pooling Financial Stability Plan ~ Adoption and Revision Continual increases in Confidence Level Funding Responsiveness to external influences Discount Factors Excess insurance market Protection of Assets Return of Equity ~ Net $5.5 million returned since inception Creative approaches Mid Layer Pool Ex Mod Calculations Strong Financial Position ~ Equity Position well above 90%

FAQ’s How can I reconcile my actual workers’ compensation costs during the year to the premiums I pay CHWCA? Is my cafeteria plan payroll subject to workers’ compensation premium? Severance? Medical benefits? Other? Is there somewhere I can go to get these questions answered? CHWCA’s equity is lower this year than in the past few years. Should I be concerned about that? If my loss development was favorable last year, why did my experience modification factor (ex-mod) go up?

Experience Modification Factors Ex Mods adjust premiums based on loss experience. CHWCA uses the WCIRB for the calculation of its ex mods. The WCIRB provides ex mods for most commercially-insured entities and SCIF participants; so The process compares each CHWCA member’s loss experience with all entities described above who have payroll within the same classification codes. CHWCA has revised the calculation for the 2013 program year: Maximum ex mod of 2.0 for all members Maximum.25 increase from prior year This is the first step toward an internally-rated ex mod calculation.

Experience Modification Factors: The WCIRB Methodology Range of program years used in the calculation The most current complete three year period. The 2013 ex mod calculation used the 2009–2011 years. A claim that occurs today will affect your HA’s ex mod from 2015–2017. The calculation is a ratio factoring “expected” with “actual” losses “Expected” losses “Actual” losses: Greater emphasis on Frequency than Severity Current CHWCA ex mods range from 0.80 to 2.00 Last year’s range was from 0.77 to 2.41
