In accordance with the actuarial study, premiums will increase to 0.8% in 2023 to regain solvency. The Legislature had numerous proposals to reform benefit eligibility and levels in the 2023 session. WR supported these measures and will continue to work to maintain the division in premiums between employers and employees; and to avoid adding new costs and benefits to the program.
WR is working with the business group to collect information from employers who experience frustration with the lack of information and the administration of these claims.
