Self Insured Solutions Adds Groups

Self Insured Solutions (http://www.calsig.com/), a California developer and administrator of private self insured workers’ compensation groups, reported the formation of three new agriculturally oriented Self Insured Groups (SIGs).

“All three of these SIGs are up and ready for enrollments,” according to Tom Wheeler, president of Self Insured Solutions (SIS).

These three new self insured groups include California Farm Management (CFMSIG), a group set up for employers who provide farm labor contracting services to growers and other farm owners. California Agricultural Products (CAPSIG) is for employers who handle food processing operations. California Livestock Products (CLPSIG) is primarily intended for dairy farmers and other employers in the dairy industry.

Wheeler noted that: “Our farm labor group, CFM, has already signed up more than a dozen members. Our food processing group, CAPSIG, and the dairy SIG launched the first of January. With these three new groups, along with CANSIG, our existing self insured group for growers, we can pretty much offer anyone who works in the agricultural field an alternative to the traditional state-operated workers’ comp system.”
