Purpose of the Proposal and Its Anticipated Effects, Including Any Changes in Existing Rules: This rule proposal will amend the tables of classification base premium rates, experience rating plan parameters, experience modification factor calculation limitations and retrospective rating plan size groupings for the workers' compensation insurance program for calendar year 2015. Classification base rates were amended for updated loss and payroll experience. The department proposes a 1.8 percent overall average premium rate increase.
This rule proposal also repeals:
WAC 296-17-89506 Farm internship program rates which are being incorporated into WAC 296-17-895.
WAC 296-17-89505 2007 Rate holiday dividend which is now obsolete.
In a separate rule-making proposal, the department is proposing to move tree care and pruning services not otherwise classified out of classification 0101-36 and into a new classification 0106. These proposed rules set rates for classifications 0101 and 0106 that were calculated assuming the rules making that classification change will be adopted.
For the purpose of partially funding the Logger Safety Initiative, the Supplemental Pension Fund will be increased by 2.0 mils ($0.0020) to 47.2 mils ($0.0472) per hour for each employer and worker for work reported in the forest products industry risk classifications: 1002, 1003, 1004, 1005, 2401, 2903, 2904, 2905, 2907, 2909, 5001, 5002, 5003, 5004, 5005, 5006, 6902. Each of these risk classifications are defined in chapter 296-17A WAC.
Repealing WAC 296-17-89505 2007 Rate holiday dividend and 296-17-89506 Farm internship program industrial insurance, accident fund, stay at work fund, medical aid fund, and supplemental pension by class; and amending WAC 296-17-855 Experience modification, 296-17-875 Table I, 296-17-880 Table II, 296-17-885 Table III, 296-17-890 Table IV, 296-17-895 Industrial insurance accident fund base rates, stay at work and medical aid base rates by class of industry, 296-17-89502 Industrial insurance accident fund, stay at work, medical aid and supplemental pension rates by class of industry for nonhourly rated classifications, 296-17-89507 Horse racing rates, 296-17-901 Risk classification hazard group table, 296-17-920 Assessment for supplemental pension fund, 296-17B-540 Determining loss incurred for each claim, and 296-17B-900 Retrospective rating plans standard premium size ranges.
Reasons Supporting Proposal: The department's decision to increase overall rates is intended to ensure adequate premiums to cover expected losses for 2015 claims and to continue rebuilding the trust funds' contingency reserves to adequate levels. Washington law provides that rates should be adjusted annually to reflect the hazards of each industry and in accordance with recognized workers' compensation insurance principles.
Statutory Authority for Adoption: RCW 51.16.035 (base rates), RCW 51.32.073 (supplemental pension), RCW 51.18.010 (retrospective rating), and RCW 51.04.020(1) (general authority); session law, section 217(6), chapter 4, Laws of 2013 2nd special session.
Statute Being Implemented: RCW 51.16.035, 51.32.073 and 51.18.010; session law section 217(6), chapter 4, Laws of 2013 2nd special session.
Rule is not necessitated by federal law, federal or state court decision.
Name of Proponent: L&I, governmental.
Name of Agency Personnel Responsible for Drafting: Jo Anne Attwood, Tumwater, Washington, (360) 902-4777; Implementation: Doug Stewart, Tumwater, Washington, (360) 902-4826; and Enforcement: Victoria Kennedy, Tumwater, Washington, (360) 902-4777.
No small business economic impact statement has been prepared under chapter 19.85 RCW. No small business economic impact statement is required as the proposed rules are adjusting rates pursuant to legislative standards.
A cost-benefit analysis is not required under RCW 34.05.328. The proposed rules are adjusting rates pursuant to legislative standards.

AMENDATORY SECTION (Amending WSR 13-24-073, filed 11/30/13, effective 1/1/14)
WAC 296-17-855 Experience modification.
The basis of the experience modification shall be a comparison of the actual losses charged to an employer during the experience period with the expected losses for an average employer reporting the same exposures in each classification. The comparison shall contain actuarial refinements designed to weigh the extent to which the actual experience is credible, due consideration being given to the volume of the employer's experience. Except for those employers who qualify for an adjusted experience modification as specified in WAC 296-17-860 or 296-17-865, the experience modification factor shall be calculated from the formula:
EXPERIENCE
MODIFICATION FACTOR
=
(Credible Actual Primary Loss + Credible Actual Excess Loss)/Expected Loss
Where
 
 
Credible Actual
Primary Loss
=
Actual Primary Loss x Primary Credibility
 
+
Expected Primary Loss x (100% - Primary Credibility)
Credible Actual
Excess Loss
=
Actual Excess Loss x Excess Credibility
 
+
Expected Excess Loss x (100% - Excess Credibility)
The meaning and function of each term in the formula is specified below.
For each claim, the actual primary loss is the first dollar portion of the claim costs, which has been shown in actuarial studies, to have the greater credibility in predicting future experience. These amounts are summed over all claims. For each claim in excess of $20,112 the actual primary loss shall be determined from the formula:
ACTUAL PRIMARY LOSS
=
50,280
x total loss
(Total loss + 30,168)
For each claim, less than $20,112 the full value of the claim shall be considered a primary loss.
For each claim, the excess actual loss is the remaining portion of the claim costs, which have been shown in actuarial studies to have less credibility in predicting future experience. The excess actual loss for each claim shall be determined by subtracting the primary loss from the total loss. These amounts are summed over all claims.
For any claim without disability benefits (time loss, partial permanent disability, total permanent disability or death) either actually paid or estimated to be paid, the total actual losses for calculating the primary loss and excess loss shall first be reduced by the lesser of $((2,610)) 2,690 or the total cost of the claim. Here are some examples for these claims:

Note:
The deduction, $((2,610)) 2,690, is twice the average case incurred cost of these types of claims occurring during the three-year period used for experience rating. On average this results in reducing the average actual loss about seventy percent for these types of claims adjusted. This is done to help make the transition between the two different experience rating methods better by helping make the change in experience factor reasonable for small changes to the actual losses. The $2,000,000 loss is limited by the Maximum Claim Value before the reduction of $((2,610)) 2,690 is applied.
For each employer, the primary credibility and the excess credibility determines the percentage weight given to the corresponding actual primary losses and the actual excess losses, included in the calculation of the experience modification, based on the volume of expected losses. Primary credibility and excess credibility values are set forth in Table II.
An employer's expected losses shall be determined by summing the expected loss for each of the three years of the experience period, which are calculated by multiplying the reported exposure in each classification during the year by the corresponding classification expected loss rate and rounding the result to the nearest cent. Classification expected loss rates by year are set forth in Table III.
Expected losses in each classification shall be multiplied by the classification "Primary-Ratio" to obtain "expected primary losses" which shall be rounded to the nearest cent. Expected excess losses shall then be calculated by subtracting expected primary losses from expected total losses rounded to the nearest cent. Primary-Ratios are also set forth in Table III.
