New York CompensationInsurance Rating Board733 Third AvenueNew York, NY 10017Tel: (212) 697-3535July 15, 2021R.C. 2543Re:New York State Workers’ Compensation Loss Cost Filing andLoss Costs by Classification; Effective on October 1, 2021Members of the Rating Board:I write to inform you that today, the New York State Department of Financial Services(“Department”) approved the filing submitted by the Rating Board for a decrease of 6.4% in theoverall loss cost level in New York State, effective October 1, 2021. This approval represents thesixth straight year that the Department approved the loss cost change recommended by theRating Board’s Actuarial Committee.As previously explained in R.C. Bulletin 2537, the approved loss cost indication wasderived by applying Rating Board’s standard ratemaking methodology.Loss costs for each employment classification have been derived in accordance with theapproved filing and are now available for use on policies with effective dates on or after October1, 2021. Manual pages displaying the loss cost for each employment classification are attachedhereto as Exhibit A. Class loss costs are also published in the digital version of the New YorkWorkers’ Compensation and Employers’ Liability Manual (“Manual”) and have been madeavailable on the Rating Board’s website in Excel and WCRATE format.As a reminder, the published values, including the loss costs by classification and theprovisions for terrorism, natural disasters, and catastrophic industrial accidents are not rates.Therefore, insurers must apply their approved loss cost multipliers to the loss costs in the Manualto develop final rates. The revised loss costs are effective for all insurers as of October 1, 2021,and accordingly insurers do not have to (i) file to adopt the new loss costs, or (ii) refile loss costmultipliers that are currently approved by the Department in order to utilize the October 1, 2021loss costs. However, if an insurer seeks to change either its loss cost multiplier(s) or any otherpreviously approved independently filed rating factor or value, it must do so by filing thesechanges with the Department for approval prior to use.In addition, New York State Insurance Law section 2347(c) requires that at least thirtydays prior to billing, insurers provide insureds whose premium is affected by a rate change anestimate of the change as well as the reasons contributing to the change. To assist insurers insatisfying this statutory requirement, please find attached hereto as Exhibit B an explanatory

Members of the Rating BoardJuly 15, 2021Page 2memorandum containing information relating to the October 1, 2021 loss cost revision and alisting of the percentage change in loss costs for each employment classification.Please note that the enclosed Exhibit B reflects changes in loss costs, not rates.Accordingly, since each insurer develops final rates by applying its approved loss cost multiplier(s)to the published loss costs, the percentage change from previous rates shown in Exhibit B maydiffer from the rate that an insurer may charge as of October 1, 2021.In addition to the loss cost changes, please note the following:(1) The United States Longshore & Harbor Workers’ Coverage percentage is revised to 75.1%.Insurers do not have to file to adopt the new percentage.(2) The terrorism loss cost provision is revised to 0.03 per 100 of payroll, and 2.3% ofpremium for non-payroll classes.(3) The natural disasters and catastrophic industrial accidents loss cost provision is revised to 0.005 per 100 of payroll, and 0.4% of premium for non-payroll classes.(4) The construction employment territory premium differentials for all territories remainunchanged at 0.0%. Policies for employers whose employees are subject to payrolllimitation must continue to include the applicable territory differential on the policy evenif that premium amount is 0.(5) Maximum and minimum remuneration amounts have been updated and are included inthe attached pages.(6) Deductible premium credits, expressed as loss elimination ratios on Miscellaneous ValuesPage 5, have not changed with this revision.(7) As indicated in R.C. Bulletin 2525, the New York State assessment was updated effectiveJanuary 1, 2021. Future changes made by the New York State Workers’ CompensationBoard to the New York State assessment rate for policies effective on or after January 1,2022, will be announced in a separate bulletin in November or December of 2021.(8) The Workers’ Compensation Security Fund surcharge remains unchanged at 0.0%.Very truly yours,EnclosuresJeremy AttiePresident and CEO
