WCRIBMA Requests An 8.3% Decrease in Rates

February 13, 2024 by AC Editor

Workers Compensation Insurance News in Massachusetts

The Division of Insurance held a virtual meeting on the matter this month

The Workers’ Compensation Rating and Inspection Bureau of Massachusetts (“WCRIB”) announced in late December 2023 that it was submitting a new rate filing for 2024. The request is seeking an 8.3% decrease in average workers’ compensation rates for industrial classes with an effective July 1, 2023.

In response to the request and in accordance with Massachusetts General Law c. 152, §53A, the Division of Insurance held a virtual meeting on the matter on February 7, 2023.

When was the last time the WCRIBMA filed a rate request?

On December 23, 2022, the Division of Insurance filed its last rate request seeking a 4% decrease in rates. Before that it had been three years since the WCRIBMA last filed a rate request, back in January 2020. At that time, the WCRIBMA was seeking a 3.8% decrease. Prior to that, the WCRIBMA had not made a rate request since the end of 2017, when it asked for an average statewide rate decrease of 11.1%. .

After that, one would have to go back to 2016, as the last time the WCRIBMA submitted a Rate Filing requesting an increase in workers compensation rates.
