Overview of Assessment Formulas for PURMS Risk Pools

The “Assessment Formulas” Sections of the PURMS Joint Self-Insurance Agreement (“SIA”) set forth the formulas for assessing the Members of each Risk Pool for the Operational Costs the Fund incurs in operating their respective Risk Pools, including without limitation, Coverage Payments (all Risk Pools), Defense Costs (Liability Pool), Property Claim Costs (Property Pool), Direct H&W Claims Costs and Shared H&W Costs (H&W Pool), and the Direct and Shared Administrative Expenses of all Risk Pools.

The Liability Pool is governed by two Assessment Formulas, one for General Assessments and one for Premium Assessments.  The two current formulas for the Liability Pool are: 

(a)   The Liability General Assessment Formula (with Annual Assessment Limit) (SIA § VIII); and

(b)  The Liability Premium Assessment Formula (with Added-Risk Pass Through, and without Annual Assessment Limit) (SIA § IX). 

The Liability General Assessment Formula was first adopted by the Members of the Fund on December 20. 1976, has been amended from time to time, and was unanimously re-adopted on March 30, 1995. The Liability Premium Assessment Formula (with Added-Risk Pass Through and without Annual Assessment Limit) was unanimously re-adopted by the Board at its General Meeting on December 9, 1994, effective January 1, 1995. 

The Property Pool is also governed by two Assessment Formulas, one for General Assessments and one for Premium Assessments.  The two current formulas for the Property Pool are: 

(a)   The Property General Assessment Formula (with Annual Assessment Limit) (SIA § XII); and

(b)  The Property Premium Assessment Formula (without Annual Assessment Limit) (SIA § XIII). 

The Property General Assessment and the Property Premium Assessment Formulas were unanimously adopted by the Members of the Fund, effective February 27, 1997, and were both amended and restated and unanimously adop
