Virginia regulators plan to hold a hearing on proposed adjustments in premiums charged for workers compensation insurance in October.
According to The Associated Press, the State Corporation Commission stated it has set an Oct. 26 hearing in Richmond on request from the National Council on Compensation Insurance Inc. (WCxKit)
The Florida-based ratemaking group represents insurers licensed to write workers comp insurance in Virginia. Nearly all Virginia employers are required to carry the coverage.
Changes in the overall premium level for the industrial, federal, surface coalmine and underground coalmine classifications will be under review by the group. (WCxKit)
If approved, the adjustments (effective April 1, 2011) would apply for both the voluntary market and assigned risk plan.
