Largest Workers? Compensation Rate Reduction in a Decade

By Robert Vonada

ADVERTISEMENTS
The Pennsylvania Compensation Rating Bureau (PCRB) has proposed a 10.22 percent average reduction in workers? compensation policy rates for 2008, according to a Pittsburgh Business Times Article. The recommendation will go to the Pennsylvania Insurance Department for approval.

On January 19, 2007 the PCRB recommended a 2.95 percent average increase. This is the only increase in a trend of reduced rates, which makes for an interesting chicken/egg analysis vis a vis the 2007 workers? compensation reform legislation.

In 2006, the PCRB recommended an average 8.5 percent reduction, which was reported to be the biggest decrease sought since 1997.

In 2005, the PCRB recommended a 2.89 percent average reduction, which was predicted to save employers $32.5 million.

That means the 10.22 average rate reduction will save employers over 115 million in 2008.
