31 Pa. Code § 73.113 - Voluntary unemployment insurance rate standards

(a) Debtor insurance charge. The amount charged a debtor by a creditor for credit voluntary unemployment insurance may not exceed the premiums charged by the insurer, as computed at the time the charge to the debtor is determined.

(b) Premium rates based on loss ratio. The premium rates shall be based on a loss ratio not less than the loss ratio standard in § 73.123 (relating to loss ratio standards).

(c) Actuarial memorandum filing. The insurer shall include, with the rate filing made under § 73.136(a) (relating to filing of forms and rates), an actuarial memorandum which contains the basis of the claim costs used in computing the premium rates.

(d) Joint rates.

(1) When each debtor is insured for 100% of the monthly unemployment benefit, the premium rates for joint credit voluntary unemployment insurance shall equal 180% of the premium rates for single voluntary unemployment coverage.

(2) When each debtor is insured for a specific portion of the monthly unemployment benefit, the premium rates for joint credit voluntary unemployment insurance shall equal 100% of the premium rates for single voluntary unemployment coverage.

(e) Adoption of prima facie rates. If, in the opinion of the Commissioner, there is sufficient credit voluntary unemployment insurance experience data in this Commonwealth, the Commissioner may establish and adopt prima facie premium rates for voluntary unemployment and procedures for adjusting the prima facie premium rates.

(f) Review of nonclaim elements. By June 19, 1997, and at least every 9 years thereafter, the Department will review the changes in the average term and amount of coverage, changes in fixed and variable expenses, and the reasonable profit margin for insurers writing credit voluntary unemployment insurance in this Commonwealth. If this review indicates that a change in the loss ratio standard is necessary, the Department will propose an appropriate regulatory amendment to § 73.123 to reflect the change.
