Workers' Compensation Security Fund Assessment: Notice 2017-02 (Revision)

[47 Pa.B. 1610]
[Saturday, March 11, 2017]

 An error occurred in the notice published at 47 Pa.B. 1108 (February 18, 2017). The year in the third paragraph was incorrect and is corrected as follows.

 The Insurance Department (Department) has determined that no contributions will be required for the Workers' Compensation Security Fund (Fund).

 Section 9(1) of the Workers' Compensation Security Fund Act (act) (77 P.S. § 1059(1)) states ''[i]f, due to the payment of liabilities or claims, the balance of the fund is reduced below $500,000,000, the department shall require contributions to maintain the actuarial soundness of the fund and to restore, in a timely manner, the balance of the fund to a level at or above $500,000,000.'' As of the evaluation of December 31, 2016, the balance of the fund exceeded $500,000,000.

 Therefore, insurers writing workers' compensation insurance in this Commonwealth will not be required to submit any contributions for the Fund in 2017.

 The act may be viewed at www.ncigf.org (select ''Resources,'' then ''Publications,'' then a link under ''Guaranty Fund Laws'') and 31 Pa. Code Chapter 165 (relating to Workers' Compensation Security Fund) may be viewed at www.pacode.com. Additional information regarding the Fund is located on the Department's web site at www.insurance.pa.gov.

 No acknowledgement of this notice is required.
