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 the Property & Casualty Division at the address provided below or via email.

NCCI is proposing that the Department approve an overall average decrease of 9.8% to the current voluntary loss costs and an average decrease of 10.5% 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, 2024.

Earlier this year, NCCI filed Item E-1410, which proposed changes to the treatment of COVID-19 claims in experience rating. This filing was approved in Connecticut. NCCI will be treating the pandemic and its resulting data, between accident dates of December 1, 2019, and June 30, 2023, as a catastrophic event. The claims that occurred during this period are not expected to be a reliable predictor of future years; therefore, all reported COVID‐19 claims were excluded from ratemaking in this filing. Beginning July 1, 2023, new COVID-19 claims with accident dates after July 1 will be included in experience rating and will be reflected in ratemaking in subsequent years; however, COVID-19 claims before that date will continue to be excluded from experience rating and ratemaking.

The proposed change in Voluntary Market Loss Costs reflects the following loss cost level change, and the proposed change in Assigned Risk Market Rates reflects the following rate level changes:

Industry Group Voluntary Market Average
Loss Cost Level Change (%)
Assigned Risk Market Average
Rate Level Change (%)
Manufacturing -11.0% -11.7%
Contracting -10.0% -10.7%
Office & Clerical -9.2% -9.9%
Goods & Services -11.0% -11.7%
Miscellaneous -6.3% -7.0%
Overall Change -9.8% -10.5%

 

The key components of the Voluntary Market Loss Costs and Assigned Risk Market Rate changes are comprised of the following elements:

Key Component Voluntary Market Average
Loss Cost Level Change (%)
Assigned Risk Market Average
Rate Level Change (%)
Experience, Trend and Benefit Change
-10.0% -10.0%
Loss-Based Expenses/Expenses +0.2% -0.6%
Overall Change -9.8% -10.5%
