Group Self-Insurance Requirements

Self-Insurance Groups (SIGs) are created by employer members and exist only to protect those members against workers compensation claims. Commercial insurance companies are motivated by profit, which they earn by charging premiums higher than needed to cover losses and by investing those premiums and earning returns. When employers pay premiums to commercial insurance companies, that money is gone forever. Employer members of a self-insurance group contribute to a fund that remains within the group¦s control. Any money not spent to cover claims or operating costs is retained by the group members.
