Withdrawal of certification; grounds

Known as the Self-Insurers' Guarantee Fund Act

The act spans §§ 52–52 (12 sections).

Laws 1990 (2nd S.S.), ch. 2, § 118.

A. If certification of a self-insurer is withdrawn by the director, the private employer shall not be considered a self-insurer during any appeal of that determination. The private employer shall therefore obtain any necessary coverage from other sources pending resolution of the appeal.

B. Certification of a self-insurer may be withdrawn by the director in accordance with regulations he adopts. The regulations shall consider the following as grounds for termination:

(1) the employer no longer meets the requirements, financial or otherwise, of being a qualified self-insurer;

(2) the self-insurer engages in or induces workers to engage in fraudulent practices;

(3) the self-insurer fails to comply with rules and regulations of the director; or

(4) the self-insurer fails to maintain a sufficient fund balance, in which event certification shall be withdrawn effective the date that the fund balance is insufficient.
