The rules pertaining to ownership and experience rating can seem complex to even the most experienced insurance professional. The WCIRB CompEssentials^® course, Ownership and Experience Rating, provides a practical approach to navigating the intricate regulations to help you better understand the process and help your customers.

In addition to explaining how to determine ownership of an entity, Ownership and Experience Rating demystifies the process for evaluating a change in ownership and ascertaining whether the experience should apply to a new owner.

Composed of 8 modules (5 hours of training), the Ownership and Experience Rating course will help learners:
•    Review changes in ownership for businesses and determine what happens to the X-Mod.
•    Identify when businesses that share common ownership must be combined for experience rating.
•    Know when separate entities can be covered on the same policy.
•    Understand why it is important to obtain detailed ownership information when underwriting a policy.
•    Use WCIRB Connect to submit and check the status of a change in ownership for a policyholder.
The Ownership and Experience Rating course is approved for 5 CEU toward a Property & Casualty license with the California Department of Insurance.
