RE: Worker s Compensation Coverage dealing with Subcontractors:
Dear Policyholder,
This letter is intended to address some past confusion regarding subcontractors. More
specifically, what a subcontractor is, and how they impact your insurance.
As a rule of thumb, if you issue a 1099 tax form to a person or business, that person or business
is a subcontractor. It is your responsibility to furnish satisfactory evidence that any
subcontractors you hire have Worker s Compensation insurance in force covering the work
performed for you. If you do not have a written Certificate of Insurance showing that a
subcontractor has Worker s Compensation coverage, you are responsible to provide the coverage.
When you hire a subcontractor and do not intend to provide Worker s Compensation insurance
for them, it is vitally important to get a Certificate of Insurance from them, before they begin
work . This Certificate of Insurance must continue in force until the work for you is completed.
Th
It also releases you from having to pay Worker s Compensation insurance premiums on the
payroll the subcontractor receives from you. There is an exception to this rule. If the
subcontractor meets the nine qualifying factors required to be classified as an independent
contractor, then a Certificate of Insurance is not required. See the attached sheet that lists these
nine conditions.
Also, for your information, according to Worker s Compensation Law, employers may not
withhold or charge back Worker s Compensation premiums to anyone, such as subcontractors.
If you do not obtain a Certificate of Insurance and the subcontractor has claims through your
insurance, it could have a negative impact on your insurance rates and your experience
modification factor. If the claims are frequent or severe, it could jeopardize your insurability.
If you plan to do subcontractors work for another business, you may be asked to provide a
Certificate of Insurance. Your Rural Insurance agent can supply the necessary Certificate of
Insurance free of charge.
Any questions regarding this matter should be directed to your Rural Insurance agent. Thank you
for selecting Rural Mutual Insurance Company as your commercial insurance carrier. We will
reward your choice with continued great service.
is releases you from being primarily liable for injuries to the subcontractor and their employees.

3. you fail to comply with a health or safety law
or regulation; or

reimburse us promptly.

injury. You will do everything necessary to

by law.

have notice of the injury when you have
notice.

person entitled to the benefits payable by this

duties; so may an agency authorized by law.
Enforcement may be against us or against you
and us.
4. Jurisdiction over you is jurisdiction over us for
purposes of the workers compensation law.
We are bound by decisions against you under
that law, subject to the provisions of this

workers compensation law that apply to:

1. Bodily Injury by Accident. The limit shown for
"bodily injury by accident-each accident" is
the most we will pay for all damages covered
by this insurance because of bodily injury to

A disease is not bodily injury by accident
unless it results directly from bodily injury by
accident.
2. Bodily Injury by Disease. The limit shown for
"bodily injury by disease-policy limit" is the
most we will pay for all damages covered by
this insurance and arising out of bodily injury
by disease, regardless of the number of
employees who sustain bodily injury by
disease. The limit shown for "bodily injury by

we have paid the applicable limit of our
liability under this insurance.
H. Recovery From Others
We have your rights to recover our payment from
anyone liable for an injury covered by this
insurance. You will do everything necessary to
protect those rights for us and to help us enforce
them.
I. Actions Against Us
There will be no right of action against us under
this insurance unless:
1. You have complied with all the terms of this
policy; and
2. The amount you owe has been determined
with our consent or by actual trial and final
judgment.
This insurance does not give anyone the right to
add us as a defendant in an action against you to
determine your liability. The bankruptcy or
insolvency of you or your estate will not relieve
us of our obligations under this Part.
PART THREE
OTHER STATES INSURANCE
A. How This Insurance Applies
1. This other states insurance applies only if one
or more states are shown in Item 3.C. of the
Information Page.
2. If you begin work in any one of those states
after the effective date of this policy and are
not insured or are not self-insured for such
work, all provisions of the policy will apply as
though that state were listed in Item 3.A. of
the Information Page.
3. We will reimburse you for the benefits
required by the workers compensation law of
that state if we are not permitted to pay the
benefits directly to persons entitled to them.
4. If you have work on the effective date of this
policy in any state not listed in Item 3.A. of
the Information Page, coverage will not be
afforded for that state unless we are notified
within thirty days.
B. Notice
Tell us at once if you begin work in any state

legal

1991 National Council on Compensation Insurance.
WORKERS COMPENSATION AND EMPLOYERS LIABILITY INSURANCE POLICY WC 00 00 00 C

papers related to the injury, claim, proceeding or
suit.
4. Cooperate with us and assist us, as we may
request, in the investigation, settlement or
defense of any claim, proceeding or suit.
5. Do nothing after an injury occurs that would
interfere with our right to recover from others.
6. Do not voluntarily make payments, assume
obligations or incur expenses, except at your
own cost.
PART FIVE- PREMIUM
A. Our Manuals
All premium for this policy will be determined by
our manuals of rules, rates, rating plans and
classifications. We may change our manuals and
apply the changes to this policy if authorized by
law or a governmental agency regulating this
insurance.
B. Classifications
Item 4 of the Information Page shows the rate
and premium basis for certain business or work
classifications. These classifications were
assigned based on an estimate of the exposures
you would have during the policy period. If your
actual exposures are not properly described by
those classifications, we will assign proper
classifications, rates and premium basis by
endorsement to this policy.
C. Remuneration
Premium for each work classification is
determined by multiplying a rate times a premium
basis. Remuneration is the most common
premium basis. This premium basis includes
payroll and all other remuneration paid or payable
during the policy period for the services of:
1. all your officers and employees engaged in
work covered by this policy; and
2. all other persons engaged in work that could
make us liable under Part One (Workers
Compensation Insurance) of this policy. If you
do not have payroll records for these persons,
the contract price for their services and
materials may be used as the premium basis.
This paragraph 2 will not apply if you give us
proof that the employers of these persons
lawfully secured their workers compensation
obligations.
D. Premium Payments
You will pay all premium when due. You will pay
the premium even if part or all of a workers
compensation law is not valid.
E. Final Premium
The premium shown on the Information Page,
schedules, and endorsements is an estimate. The
final premium will be determined after this policy
ends by using the actual, not the estimated,
premium basis and the proper classifications and
rates that lawfully apply to the business and work
covered by this policy. If the final premium is
more than the premium you paid to us, you must
pay us the balance. If it is less, we will refund the
balance to you. The final premium will not be less
than the highest minimum premium for the
classifications covered by this policy.
If this policy is canceled, final premium will be
determined in the following way unless our
manuals provide otherwise:
1. If we cancel, final premium will be calculated
pro rata based on the time this policy was in
force. Final premium will not be less than the
pro rata share of the minimum premium.
2. If you cancel, final premium will be more than
pro rata; it will be based on the time this
policy was in force, and increased by our
short-rate cancelation table and procedure.
Final premium will not be less than the
minimum premium.
F. Records
You will keep records of information needed to
compute premium. You will provide us with
copies of those records when we ask for them.
G. Audit
You will let us examine and audit all your records
that relate to this policy. These records include
ledgers, journals, registers, vouchers, contracts,
tax reports, payroll and disbursement records, and
programs for storing and retrieving data. We may
conduct the audits during regular business hours
during the policy period and within three years
after the policy period ends. Information
developed by audit will be used to determine final
premium. Insurance rate service organizations
have the same rights we have under this
provision.

PART SIX- CONDITIONS
A. Inspection

your workplaces at any time. Our inspections are

changes. While they may help reduce losses, we
do not undertake to perform the duty of any
person to provide for the health or safety of your
employees or the public. We do not warrant that
your workplaces are safe or healthful or that they
comply with laws, regulations, codes or
standards. Insurance rate service organizations

sixteen days, all provisions of this policy will
apply as though a new policy were issued on
each annual anniversary that this policy is in
force.
C. Transfer of Your Rights and Duties
Your rights or duties under this policy may not be
transferred without our written consent.
If you die and we receive notice within thirty days
after your death, we will cover your legal
representative as insured.

deliver advance written notice to us stating
when the cancelation is to take effect.
2. We may cancel this policy. We must mail or
deliver to you not less than ten days advance
written notice stating when the cancelation is
to take effect. Mailing that notice to you at
your mailing address shown in Item 1 of the
Information Page will be sufficient to prove
notice.
3. The policy period will end on the day and hour
stated in the cancelation notice.
4. Any of these provisions that conflict with a
law that controls the cancelation of the
insurance in this policy is changed by this
statement to comply with the law.

Information Page will act on behalf of all insureds
to change this policy, receive return premium, and

TERRORISM RISK INSURANCE PROGRAM REAUTHORIZATION ACT DISCLOSURE ENDORSEMENT
This endorsement addresses the requirements of the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act of 2002 as amended and
extended by the Terrorism Risk Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 2019. It serves to notify you of
certain limitations under the Act, and that your insurance carrier is charging premium for losses that may
occur in the event of an Act of Terrorism.
Your policy provides coverage for workers compensation losses caused by Acts of Terrorism,
including workers compensation benefit obligations dictated by state law. Coverage for such losses
is still subject to all terms, definitions, exclusions, and conditions in your policy, and any applicable
federal and/or state laws, rules, or regulations.
Definitions
The definitions provided in this endorsement are based on and have the same meaning as the definitions in
the Act. If words or phrases not defined in this endorsement are defined in the Act, the definitions in the
Act will apply.
"Act" means the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act of 2002, which took effect on November 26, 2002, and any
amendments thereto, including any amendments resulting from the Terrorism Risk Insurance Program
Reauthorization Act of 2019.
"Act of Terrorism" means any act that is certified by the Secretary of the Treasury, in consultation with the
Secretary of Homeland Security, and the Attorney General of the United States, as meeting all of the
following requirements:
a. The act is an act of terrorism.
b. The act is violent or dangerous to human life, property or infrastructure.
c. The act resulted in damage within the United States, or outside of the United States in the case of the
premises of United States missions or certain air carriers or vessels.
d. The act has been committed by an individual or individuals as part of an effort to coerce the civilian
population of the United States or to influence the policy or affect the conduct of the United States
Government by coercion.
"Insured Loss" means any loss resulting from an act of terrorism (and, except for Pennsylvania, including an
act of war, in the case of workers compensation) that is covered by primary or excess property and
casualty insurance issued by an insurer if the loss occurs in the United States or at the premises of United
States missions or to certain air carriers or vessels.
"Insurer Deductible" means, for the period beginning on January 1, 2021, and ending on December 31,
2027, an amount equal to 20% of our direct earned premiums, during the immediately preceding calendar
year.
Limitation of Liability
The Act limits our liability to you under this policy. If aggregate Insured Losses exceed $100,000,000,000
in a calendar year and if we have met our Insurer Deductible, we are not liable for the payment of any
portion of the amount of Insured Losses that exceeds $100,000,000,000; and for aggregate Insured
Losses up to $100,000,000,000, we will pay only a pro rata share of such Insured Losses as determined
by the Secretary of the Treasury.
Policyholder Disclosure Notice
1. Insured Losses would be partially reimbursed by the United States Government. If the aggregate
industry Insured Losses occurring in any calendar year exceed $200,000,000, the United States
Government would pay 80% of our insured Losses that exceed our Insurer Deductible.

PART THREE OTHER STATES INSURANCE
A. How This Insurance Applies
1. We will pay promptly when due the benefits required of you by the workers compensation law of a
state
other than Wisconsin if all of the following conditions are met:
a. The employee claiming benefits was either hired under a contract of employment made in
Wisconsin, or was, at the time of injury, principally employed in Wisconsin; and
b. The employee claiming benefits is not claiming benefits in a state where, at the time of injury, (i)
you had other workers compensation insurance coverage, or (ii) you were, by virtue of the
nature of your work in that state, required by that state s law to have obtained separate
workers compensation insurance coverage, or (iii) you are an authorized self-insurer or
participant in a self-insured group plan; and
c. The duration of the work being performed by the employee claiming benefits in the state for
which the employee is claiming benefits does not exceed 30 days in a given calendar quarter.

conditions are met, we will reimburse you for the benefits required to be paid.
3. This insurance does not apply to fines or penalties arising out of your failure to comply with the
requirements of the workers compensation law of any state.
IMPORTANT NOTICE!

WISCONSIN CANCELLATION AND NONRENEWAL ENDORSEMENT
This endorsement applies only to the insurance provided by the policy because Wisconsin is shown in Item 3.A.
of the Information Page.
The Cancellation Section (D) of the Part Six- Conditions is deleted and replaced by the following:
A. Cancellation
1. You may cancel this policy. You must mail or deliver advance written notice to us stating when the
cancellation is to take effect. If you purchase replacement insurance, the cancellation becomes
effective on the date the new coverage becomes effective. If no replacement coverage is purchased,
the cancellation will be effective thirty (30) days after the receipt of written notice by the Wisconsin
Compensation Rating Bureau.
2. We may cancel the policy for any reason if the policy has been in effect for less than sixty (60) days. If
the policy is issued for a term longer than one year or for an indefinite term, we may cancel the policy
for any reason on an annual anniversary of the policy effective date. We may cancel the policy at any
other time for the following reasons:
a. You fail to pay all premiums when due, however, we must deliver or mail, first class, not less than
thirty (30) days advance written notice stating when the cancellation is to take effect;
b. A material misrepresentation;
c. A substantial breach of the obligations, conditions or warranties under the policy; or
d. A substantial change in the risk we assumed under the policy, unless it was reasonable for us to
foresee the change or expect the risk when we issued the policy.
3. If we cancel for any permissible reason other than nonpayment of premium, we must deliver or mail,
first class, not less than *thirty (30) days notice stating when the cancellation is to take effect. Mailing
that notice to you at your mailing address shown in Item 1 of the Information Page will be sufficient to
prove notice.
4. The policy period will end on the day and hour stated in a notice of cancellation.
B. Nonrenewal
1. You have the right to have the insurance renewed unless we deliver or mail to you not less than *sixty
(60) days advance written notice stating our intention not to renew this policy.
2. We do not have to renew the insurance if you do not pay the renewal premium billing by the due date
or if you accept replacement insurance, are insured elsewhere, requested or agree to nonrenewal, or if
the policy is expressly designated as being nonrenewable.
3. If we renew the insurance, we may use the policy forms, rates and rating plans we are then using for
similar risks. We may limit the policy to a term equivalent to the term of the expiring policy or one year,
whichever is less.
4. If we offer to renew the policy on less favorable terms, we will mail or deliver written notice of the new
terms by first class mail to you, the policyholder, at least sixty (60) days prior to the renewal date. The
definition of terms does not include manual rates, experience modification factors, or classification of
risks.

WC 48 06 06 B WORKERS COMPENSATION AND EMPLOYERS LIABILITY INSURANCE POLICY
(Ed. 1-02)
If we provide such notice within sixty (60) days prior to the renewal date, the new terms will not take
effect until sixty (60) days after the notice is mailed or delivered, in which case, you, the policyholder,
may elect to cancel the renewal policy at any time during the sixty (60) day period. The notice will
include a statement of your right to cancel. If you elect to cancel the renewal policy during the sixty
(60) day period, the return premium or additional premium charges shall be calculated proportionally on
the basis of the old premiums.
We need not mail or deliver this notice if the only change adverse to you is a premium increase that;
(a) is less than 25%; or,
(b) results from a change based on your action that alters the nature and extent of the risk insured
against, including, but not limited to, a change in the classifications for the business.
* Any written agreement attached to and made a part of the policy, between the insurance carrier and
policyholder that extends the cancellation or nonrenewal notification time frame, will supersede the
aforementioned notification requirements found in items A.3. and B.1., respectively.

c. Business Personal Property described in
the Schedule for Section I shown on the
Declarations Page, including those
scheduled vehicles subject to motor
vehicle registration, all while located

The most we will pay for loss or damage

shall be the lesser of:
(1) The actual cash value of the property;
(2) The amount necessary to repair or
replace the property; or

each item of property in the Schedule
for Section I .
However,
(a) If, at the time of loss, the Limit of
Insurance on the lost or damaged
item is 80% or more of the full
replacement cost of the item
immediately before the loss, we
will pay the cost to repair or
replace, after application of the

for depreciation, but not more
than the least of the following
amounts:

Rental Expense Reimbursement

reimburse these rental expenses provided:
1. You do not have equivalent idle equipment
you can use; and
2. You restore or replace the lost or damaged
equipment as soon as possible.
Our reimbursement is limited to rental expenses
incurred after the loss has occurred and
continuing until:

no longer needed; or
2. Twelve months from the date of loss.
whichever occurs first.
The period of reimbursement will not be limited
by the policy expiration date.
The most we will pay under this coverage is
$10,000, unless a higher limit is shown on the
Declarations, for the sum of all such expenses
arising out of Covered Causes of Loss occurring
during each separate 12 month period of this
policy.
