Reapplication to the director for a certificate of consent to Self-Insure is required if an ER:

• A. Fails to initiate a self-insurance program within three months
• B. Fails to initiate a self insurance program within 6 months.
• C. Fails to initiate a self insurance program within 9 months.
• D. Files a late annual report

Answer: (B)

The key idea is that there is a strict deadline after consent is granted to actually start the self-insurance program. If the employer fails to initiate the self-insurance program within six months, they must reapply for a certificate of consent to self-insure. This six-month window keeps the process moving and ensures the company is ready to cover its required workers’ compensation responsibilities, rather than delaying indefinitely. Falling behind within three months or nine months isn’t the trigger for reapplication, and filing a late annual report isn’t the reason for reapplication either.
