Efffective January 1, 2010, BWC has reduced the maximum premium discount possible for public employers from 85% to 77%. Other drastic changes have been implemented for private employers beginning with July 1, 2009 rate year and, at this time, group rating changes are still being considered by the BWC for public employers for the January 1, 2010 rate year. For example, the BWC has determined that discounts associated with the Safety Council Incentive and the Drug-Free Workplace can NO LONGER be stacked on top of a group raing program discount. Even with change underway at BWC, you can be confident that Frank Gates is committed to maximizing your worker's compensation savings and enhancing your business performance through innovative services matched to your specific needs.

INSURANCE REMINDER The USTA offers 24-hour accident insurance (on & off the job), for USTA licensed drivers and trainers. In addition to the insurance the USTA already offers with a paid membership ($5,000 accidental death & dismemberment and $25 weekly disability for a maximum of 26 weeks), they also offer a Voluntary Plan (24-hour accident insurance), with rates from $115 to $504. As folks actively involved in harness racing, it’s often easy to think that “accidents always happen to the other guy,” until it happens to you. This additional insurance pays you above and beyond what your primary insurance coverage pays. This is well worth the annual cost, just in case, you’re involved in an unfortunate accident. For information, contact the Van Gundy Agency at: 101 S. Towanda Avenue, Normal, IL 61761. Phone: 309-452-1156, Fax: 309-452-7500 Important Update: Effective 4/1/09, a plan revision will take place. The $100,000 AD&D with $300 Weekly Disability will be $243 for a max payout of 52 weeks and the $250,000 AD&D with $500 Weekly Disability will be $608 for a max payout of 52 weeks.
