Commissioner Poizner will soon determine the workers' compensation pure premium rate, which the workers compensation insurance industry uses as a benchmark for filing its rates.

On Sept. 21, 2007, the WCIRB submitted a rate filing to the California Department of Insurance recommending a 5.2 percent increase in pure premium rates to be effective on policies on or after Jan. 1, 2008.

The hearing will be held at 9:30 a.m. on Tuesday, Oct. 23 at the California Deptment of Insurance, AHB Hearing Room, 22nd Floor, 45 Fremont Street, San Francisco.
