Which deadline applies to private self-insurers for the Self-Insurer's Annual Report?

• A. January 15
• B. March 1
• C. May 1
• D. October 1

Answer: (B)

The key requirement being tested is the timing of the annual reporting for private self-insurers in California. Private self-insurers must file the Self-Insurer's Annual Report by March 1 each year. This date is set to fit the regulator’s annual cycle, giving the agency up-to-date information on payroll, number of covered employees, and claims activity to assess ongoing solvency and eligibility to continue self-insuring. Submitting by March 1 ensures the report can be reviewed and the self-insurer’s status determined before the next year’s oversight or renewal decisions. If the report isn’t filed on time, penalties or actions that affect the ability to self-insure can result.
