Self‑insurance allows members to collectively fund and manage their workers’ compensation risk instead of paying premiums to a traditional insurance company. Members contribute to a shared pool that pays claims and operating costs.
When claims are well‑managed and safety performance is strong, surplus funds are returned to members as dividends.
