Commissioner Andrew N. Mais today announced a thirty (30) day period of public comment on the National Council on Compensation Insurance’s (“NCCI”) voluntary loss cost and assigned risk rate filing. The Connecticut Insurance Department (“Department”) has summarized the filing and provided a link to the filing including supporting documentation. The Department does not intend to hold a public hearing concerning this filing. However, interested parties are encouraged to provide comments concerning the subject filing to Cathleen Cirone, Insurance Associate Examiner at the address provided below or via email.
NCCI is proposing that the Department approve an overall average change of -1.8% to the current voluntary loss costs and an overall average change of -1.4% to the current assigned risk rate level. The new loss costs and assigned risk rates which are the subject of this Public Notice take effect on January 1, 2021.
Although considered, since the combined impact and direction of all direct and indirect COVID-19-related forces is unknown, no explicit adjustment has been made in this year’s analysis at an overall or individual classification code level.
The proposed change in Advisory Loss Costs reflects the following pure premium level change, and the proposed change in Assigned Risk Market Rates reflects the following rate level changes:
| Industry Group | Voluntary Market Average Loss Cost Change (%) |
Assigned Risk Average Rate Change (%) |
|---|---|---|
| Manufacturing | +0.4% | +0.8% |
| Contracting | -2.4% | -2.0% |
| Office & Clerical | -1.9% | -1.5% |
| Goods & Services | -2.4% | -2.0% |
| Miscellaneous | -2.0% | -1.6% |
| Overall Change | -1.8% | -1.4% |
The key components of the Advisory Loss Costs and Assigned Risk Market Rate changes are comprised of the following elements:
| Key Component | Voluntary Premium Level Change (%) |
Assigned Risk Premium Level Change (%) |
|---|---|---|
| Experience and Development | -3.8% | -3.8% |
| Trend | +0.9% | +0.9% |
| Benefits | +0.4% | +0.4% |
| Loss-Based Expenses/Expenses | +0.7% | +1.1% |
| Overall Change | -1.8% | -1.4% |
