Assessment Rate Announcement

Assessment Rates for the Florida Workers' Compensation Administration Trust Fund (WCATF) and the Special Disability Trust Fund (SDTF):

The Florida Department of Financial Services, Division of Workers' Compensation (DWC) issued an Informational Bulletin (DFS-02-2017). The Bulletin advises insurers, self-insurers and other related stakeholders that Florida's Chief Financial Officer has issued an Order (Case No. 208019-17-WC) setting the Florida Workers' Compensation Administration Trust Fund (WCATF) assessment for Calendar Year 2018. The rate has been reduced from 1.25% to 0.97%.

The Florida Department of Financial Services, Division of Workers' Compensation issued another Informational Bulletin (DFS-01-2017). The Bulletin advises insurers, self-insurers and other related stakeholders that Florida's Chief Financial Officer has issued an Order (Case No. 208013-17-WC) setting the assessment rate for the Special Disability Trust Fund (SDTF) for Calendar Year 2018.  The SDTF rate has been reduced from 1.09% to 0.91%.

By actively managing the funds' expenses, assets, future funding needs and giving consideration of all appropriate economic data, the DWC was able to reduce the assessment rate for both trust funds.
