Introduction

 

Workers' Compensation Group
 Self-Insurance 

 

 

Dealer Cover is the exclusive marketing agent for Auto Dealers Compensation of California, Inc.  AD-COMP is the largest private group self-insured program in California.  AD-COMP was the first private self-insured group formed January 1, 2002 to insure the Workers' Compensation liabilities of California franchised auto dealers.  AD-COMP members are a special group of dealers dedicated to the prevention of workplace injuries and reducing the expense of Workers' Compensation.

Membership Plan

The operation principles behind group self-insurance are relatively simple.  State regulations require private sector groups to:

 

  • Prepare a feasibility study
  • Have a qualifying net worth among members
  • Belong to the same homogenous industry

 

The group must be:

 

  • Governed by a Board of Trustees
  • Charge adequate premiums
  • Carry specific excess insurance for catastrophic losses
  • Actuarially project losses
  • Agree to joint and several liability of all losses

These requirements are in addition to the state requisite for all Workers' Compensation self insurer to:

 

  • Post Security for 135% of Future Claims
  • File annual reports of liabilities
  • Pay assessment fees

 

The group pays each year's expenses from collected funds and retains any surplus from contributions and investments for those members who contributed in that year.  AD-COMP is a non-profit mutual benefit corporation owned by California franchised auto dealers who have grouped together for the purpose of insuring their workers' compensation liabilities.

In 1993 California passed legislation to allow private employers to establish group workers' compensation self-insured programs.  On January1, 2002 the California Department of Industrial Relations, Office of Self-Insurance Plans (DIR OSIP) approved the group application for AD-COMP and issued a Certificate of Consent to Self-Insure.
