Texas Department of Insurance Backs Self-Insurance for 10 Companies

December 17, 2013 By //  by Kori Shafer-Stack Leave a Comment

The Texas Department of Insurance, Division of Workers Compensation (TDI-DWC) recently approved 10 renewals of the Certificates of Authority for companies to self-insure their workers comp claims for a one-year period under the TDI-DWC Self-Insurance Program. These companies collectively employ approximately 30,579 employees in Texas.

 

Under Texas law, certain large, private companies can self-insure for workers comp claims, while retaining the protection of the Texas Workers Compensation Act for the company and for its employees.

 

 

Unmodified Manual Premium of $500K to Qualify

 

To qualify, a company must have a minimum workers comp insurance unmodified manual premium of $500,000 and meet other requirements subject to annual review.

 

The following companies received self-insurance certificates:

 

• Poly-America, L.P., Grand Prairie

• Archer-Daniels-Midland Company, Decatur, IL

• FedEx Ground Package System, Inc., Moon Township, PA

• Hyatt Corporation, Chicago, IL

• Lockheed Martin Corporation, Fort Worth

• Parker-Hannifin Corporation, Cleveland, OH

• Union Tank Car Company, Chicago, IL

• AAA Cooper Transportation, Dothan, AL

• VF Corporation, Greensboro, NC

• American Electric Power Company, Inc., Columbus, OH.

 

Since workers comp coverage is not mandatory in Texas, some companies that are non-subscribers use the term “self-insured” to describe their workers comp coverage status under the TLC.

 

Unless a private company holds a Certificate of Authority as a CSI, a company is considered a non-subscriber according to the TLC.
