Or. Admin. Code § 836-043-0053 - Premium Obligations

(1)

(a) The Plan Administrator shall not knowingly make an assignment unless the employer has met all undisputed workers' compensation premium obligations on any previous workers' compensation insurance including but not limited to obligations to:

(A) Any servicing carrie;

(B) A direct assignment carrier; or

(C) A voluntary insurer.

(b) After policy issuance, if an employer does not meet all undisputed workers' compensation insurance premium obligations under the current policy or previous assigned risk or voluntary policies, the employer's present servicing carrier retains the right to cancel a policy currently in force under the plan in accordance with ORS 656.427.

(2) When an employer with a prior undisputed workers' compensation premium obligation is a client of a worker leasing company as established in ORS 656.850 that is insured by the Plan, the servicing carrier may instruct the worker leasing company to issue a client cancellation notice to the Director of the Department of Consumer and Business Services with a copy to the client and a copy to the servicing carrier. Such a cancellation is effective on the 30th day after receipt of notice by the Director of the Department of Consumer and Business Services unless the client pays the prior premium debt or obtains coverage in the voluntary insurance market before the 30th day. When a worker leasing company fails to issue the requested client cancellation notice within 20 days of the request, the servicing carrier may cancel the worker leasing company policy.
