Section 125.210 - Assessment of existing self-insurer

(a) If the liabilities of the guaranty fund exceed its assets, including funds deposited into the guaranty fund under section 906(a)(1) of the act (77 P. S. § 1037.6(a)(1)), the Bureau may assess self-insurers for the additional amount needed to satisfy the liabilities under section 907(b)(1) of the act (77 P. S. § 1037.7(b)(1)).

(b) The Bureau will give notice to each self-insurer of the amount assessed against the self-insurer under this section. Payment of the assessment shall be made within 30 days of the receipt of the assessment.

(c) Assessment of a self-insurer under section 907 (b)(1) of the act shall be determined as follows: the amount of compensation paid by the self-insurer during the preceding calendar year multiplied by the quotient resulting from dividing the amount determined by the Bureau to carry out the requirements of Article IX of the act (77 P. S. §§ 1037.1-1037.8) by the total amount of compensation paid by all self-insurers during the preceding calendar year. The amount of compensation paid by the self-insurer and the total amount of compensation paid by self-insurers shall be obtained from the annual reports filed with the Bureau under sections 445 and 446(e) of the act (77 P. S. §§ 1000.1 and 1000.2(e)).

(d) A self-insurer will not be assessed in any one calendar year more than 1% of the compensation paid by that self-insurer during the previous calendar year.
