MEMORANDUM September 29, 2011 To: Scott Harra, Acting Director, DCBS Mark Long, Acting Deputy Director, DCBS John Shilts, Administrator, Workers' Compensation Division, DCBS From: Chris Day, Senior Forecasting Analyst, Information Management Division, DCBS Subject: Workers' Compensation Premium Assessment Rates Recommendation for CY 2012 Issue In accordance with the requirements of ORS 656.612 and 656.614, the Department of Consumer and Business Services must establish workers’ compensation premium assessment rates effective for calendar year 2012 for insurers, self-insured employers, and self-insured employer groups. The department, in accord with ORS 656.612(5), will conduct an administrative rule making hearing on October 11, 2011, and will solicit testimony from staff and interested parties. This memo constitutes staff testimony that will be entered into the record. Summary Recommendations We recommend that the workers' compensation premium assessment rates in Administrative Rules 440-045-0020 and 440-045-0025 be lowered to 6.2 percent for insurers, and 6.4 percent for self-insured employers and self-insured employer groups for calendar year 2012. Background The Premium Assessment Operating Account (PAOA) includes the following DCBS program areas that are substantially funded by the workers’ compensation premium assessment rate: the Workers’ Compensation Division, Workers’ Compensation Board, OR-OSHA, the Ombudsman for Injured Workers, the Small Business Ombudsman and shared services supporting these activities. The primary funding mechanism for the PAOA is the annual workers’ compensation premium assessment rate established by the department in accord with ORS 656.612 and 656.614, and Oregon Administrative Rules (OAR) 440-045-0010 through 440-045-0030. The OAR 440 rules were first adopted in October 1999 as required by Senate Bill 592, which was passed during the 70th Legislative Assembly. The OAR codifies the applicable assessment rates for a calendar year. The PAOA also is funded by some fines and penalties, federal grant moneys, investment income, other miscellaneous revenues, and a transfer of funds from the Workers’ Benefit Fund (WBF) to reimburse some of the administrative costs incurred by the PAOA account in the administration of Workers’ Benefit Fund.

Rate Setting Parameters An adequate account balance should: (1) meet the cash flow needs of the account; (2) accommodate the timing of receipts and expenditures; (3) ensure stable funding for legislatively approved programs and services during uncertain economic times; and (4) minimize the volatility of fees and assessments. To accomplish the rate analysis task, a multi-year forecast perspective is the generally accepted practice. The recommended single year rate recommendation and the multiple year rates, developed for planning purposes only, take into account these objectives according to the following formula:

Required Premium Assessment Rate = {Planned and Forecasted Expenditures and Transfers – (Forecasted Investment Income + Forecasted Other Revenue)} / Forecasted Assessable Premium Base

The formula clearly shows that finding the ratio of planned expenditures and transfers net of non-premium assessment revenue and the assessable (earned) premium base determines the required rate. In the case of the current analysis, the planned expenditures are based on the agency’s 2011-13 biennium Legislatively Adopted Budget (LAB). These expenditures include the following major components: (1) savings reflected in the planned 2011-13 DCBS management action plan. This includes anticipated savings from 10-14 furlough days for every DCBS employee during the 2011-13 biennium, savings from staff reductions due to layoffs and holding positions vacant, savings from employee health insurance contributions, and savings from reducing the LAB by 4 percent, and, (2) updated expenditure forecasts for the Non-Complying Employer Program. The required premium assessment rate also reflects Chapter 574, Oregon Laws 2007 (SB 183), which extends usage of the SAIF Reinsurance Pool Credit through calendar year 2011. Finally, this analysis reflects actual information from the DCBS quarterly financial statements through the period ending June 30, 2011. Within the context of all of the various parameters discussed above, the department’s Information Management Division (IMD) has developed an analysis and recommendation for the workers' compensation premium assessment rate that should be applicable for calendar year (CY) 2012. For years beyond 2012 we have made assumptions of rates that are for planning purposes only and do not constitute a decision as to what those rates will ultimately be. The results of our analysis, detailed recommendations, and assessment rate schedule considerations are discussed below. Detailed Recommendations A. Single-Year CY 2012 Recommendations We recommend that the workers' compensation premium assessment rates be decreased to 6.2 percent for insurers, and 6.4 percent for self-insured employers and self-insured employer groups for calendar year 2012. B. Multiple-Year Rate Schedule For Planning Purposes The multiple-year rate schedule models continuation of the 6.2 and 6.4 percent assessment rates through CY 2016. By modeling this rate schedule, the account balance coverage ratios would

continue to fall through FY 2013 and then begin gradually increasing through the remainder of the forecast period, reaching a coverage ratio of just under two quarters by the end of FY 2016. Naturally, whether this will actually occur is subject to much uncertainty. This uncertainty might arise from any number of factors, including continued softness in Oregon's economy, legislative programmatic changes that affect the workers' compensation system, changes in insurance industry pricing behaviors, potential changes in the state employee compensation structure, or expenditures that are different than forecast. If the assessment rate is decreased to 6.2 percent in 2011, expenditures are projected to continue to exceed anticipated revenues through FY 2013 (see Table 1 and Appendix 2). Given this planned rate schedule, from FY 2010 to FY 2013 the fund balance is projected to decrease from $29.4 million at the end of FY 2011 to about $23.1 million (about one and a half quarters of expenditures) at the end of FY 2013. Then, as assessable premium starts to grow slightly faster than expenditures, the fund balance will grow gradually for the remainder of the forecast period. A detailed discussion of the evaluated rate schedules follows.

Table 1. PAOA Revenue and Expenditure Forecasts, with Ending Balances

Discussion We examined the effects of various assessment rate scenarios before modeling a rate of 6.2 percent for this analysis. Using the 6.2 percent rate assumption, we have included varying assumptions about the future state of the economy and its impact on the workers’ compensation premium assessment base for calendar years 2011 through 2016. The analysis reflects the 2011-13 agency legislatively adopted budget and planned expenditures and transfers discussed previously. The workers' compensation premium forecast was developed using our premium forecasting system, which is a system of econometric models. Inputs into this system include projections of economic variables from the Department of Administrative Services' (DAS) September 2011 "Oregon Economic and Revenue Forecast" (see Appendix 1 for a summary of forecast values). We have made no modifications to the DAS economic forecast, which projects that the Oregon economy will grow faster than the nation through the forecast period, and predicts that Oregon’s Gross State Product will have the second highest growth rate in the nation over the coming years. However, with population growth projected to be higher in Oregon, very little progress on raising per capita income compared to the U.S. is projected out to 2020. Finally, the premium forecast reflects the overall increase of 1.9 percent in workers’ compensation pure premium effective January 1, 2012.

Table 2 shows the actual premium for CY 2010 together with the projected premiums for CY 2011 - CY 2016 used in examining the effects of the assessment rates (the assessable base excludes the premium types noted below the table). Figure 1 displays the actual historical earned premium as well as the forecasted earned premium.

Rate Analysis The premium assessment operating account fund balance amounted to $29,424,653 at the end of FY 2011. (The analysis relies on financial statements through the quarter ending June 30, 2011.) Table 3 and Figure 2 (on the following page) show the financial outcomes of our current (control) workers’ compensation premium forecast, with a decrease to 6.2 percent effective January 1, 2012, and four different projected outcomes. This is shown to illustrate the effects on the premium assessment revenue if the economy turns out to be worse than currently forecast (revenue received is only 90% or 95% of forecast) or, conversely, if the economy grows at a faster rate than currently forecast (revenue received is 105% or 110% of forecast) in the September 2011 edition of the Oregon Economic and Revenue Forecast. It is important to note that actual revenue for FY 2011 came in lower than projected by just less than 5 percent, a much smaller deviation than the prior two fiscal years, where the actual revenue for the PAOA was an average of 10 to 12 percent less than forecast the prior year. In addition to fund balance, revenues, and expenditures, Table 3 also shows the fund balance coverage ratio. The fund balance coverage ratio is equal to the number of quarters of average expenditures and transfers covered by the ending fund balance for each fiscal year.

Self-Insured Employer and Employer Group Reserves A. Self-Insured Employer Adjustment Reserve On January 1, 1988, the additional assessment against self-insured employers to fund the Self-Insured Employer Adjustment Reserve (SIEAR) was discontinued. As expected, interest on the Reserve's account balance and subrogation recoveries continued to exceed expenditures until FY 1998. The failure of Montgomery Ward occasioned a substantial increase in expenditures, and the legal dispute regarding payment performance under the terms of surety contract language contributed to substantial increases in the reserve expenditures. In FY 2000 and FY 2001, $554,000 was recovered from the two surety companies associated with the Montgomery Ward’s case and deposited into the SIEAR. Due to continued defaults by some self-insurers and an increase in Montgomery Ward’s reserve exposure, the SIEAR fund balance decreased 28.7 percent from June 1998 to June 2005. As a result of the issues discussed above, effective January 1, 2005, an additional assessment of 0.2 percent against self-insured employers to fund the SIEAR was re-instituted. A fund balance approximating $1 million is a reasonable minimum balance given the history of the reserve's long-term liability; the average liability for the past 12 years’ December 31st

amounts to $1,001,374 (see Exhibit A). Assuming a $1 million liability, the reserve ratio, the ratio of estimated liabilities to fund balance, would approximate a value of one. This value means that the long-term liability would be fully funded, a requirement that the department makes of all Oregon workers' compensation insurers (see for example ORS 733.050 regarding inadequate reserves). By using this minimum fund balance, reserves will be sufficient to ensure that claims obligations can be met. In the past, we have recommended that the SIEAR fund balance should approximate $1 million, an amount close to the average long-term liability. As seen in Exhibit A, the long-term liability had been decreasing in the past several years, but experienced a dramatic increase in 2010 due to one company, Coos Head Timber. The liability for Coos Head Timber Company increased $675,317 from $33,435 in 2009 to $708,752 in 2010. The overall liability increased again in 2011 because of two additional companies that filed for bankruptcy, Fleetwood Enterprises and States Industries. They added about $600,000 in additional reserve exposure, but it was partially offset by an approximately $200,000 decrease in the exposure for both Coos Head Timber Company and Montgomery Ward.

The SIEAR account balance as of June 30, 2011 was $1,665,697. Overall, the SIEAR balance increased very slightly from the June 30, 2010 ending balance of $1,635,000. We recommend that the assessment differential for self-insured employers continue at 0.2 percent for CY 2012. Given current revenue and expenditure forecasts, the balance should decline to $617,043 by the end of FY 2016 (see Appendix 5). If current trends continue, the assessment rate may need to be adjusted.

B. Self-Insured Employer Group Adjustment Reserve The Self-Insured Employer Group Adjustment Reserve (SIEGAR) was created in 1981. Prior to 2011, there had been no exposure to the reserve. At the end of 2010, one of the largest self-insured employer groups, The Oregon Contractors Workers’ Compensation Trust (OCWCT), filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy and surrendered its certificate for group self-insurance. Since early 2011, the SIEGAR has been paying the claims for OCWCT, but the reserve has been getting fully replenished by a $5 million line of credit. However, the line of credit is being quickly depleted, and if claim payments work out as currently projected, the SIEGAR balance would be exhausted by September 2012. The Workers’ Compensation Division and OCWCT are in negotiations to determine how to ensure timely payment of active claims and to reduce or eliminate the exposure to the SIEGAR. The Reserve's account balance as of June 30, 2011 was $633,267. Given that the primary purpose of the SIEGAR is to be available as a temporary source of funding before other methods of payment are developed for paying claims, we have no basis for recommending a different assessment rate at this time. We recommend that the assessment differential for self-insured employer groups continue at 0.2 percent for CY 2012. With current expenditure and revenue projections, the balance would be exhausted by the first quarter of FY 2013 and decline rapidly thereafter (see Appendix 6). However, this is clearly not a realistic outlook, and as a plan for paying future OCWCT claims is established, we will update our projections. If you have any questions about this analysis and recommendations, please let me know. cc: Dorothy Oliver Kay Erickson Kevin Willingham Carey Thompson Anita Mendiola David Miller Lou Savage Gary Helmer Teresa Miller Mary Schwabe Michael Wood Laura Cali Abbie Herman Lisa Morawski Fred Bruyns
