Exclusive Program with Omega Insurance – The Domestic program is not available for risks domiciled in AK, HI, MA, WA, OH, WY, ND

A Rated Workers’ Compensation for Domestic Workers:

We have an exclusive program writing true domestic workers.  There are two classes covering all workers regardless of their duties (nanny, house cleaning, cook, etc.): 0908 (19 or less weekly hours worked), 0913 (20+ hours worked weekly). The following are NOT eligible in our Domestic Workers program:

  • Pilots or other workers exposed to regular flying while on duty
  • Yacht or vessel workers or any exposed to regular boat travel while on duty
  • The Domestic program is not available for risks domiciled in AK, HI, MA, WA, OH, WY, ND
  • Ranch hands or any exposure to equine training or care.

Additionally, In AR, FL, CT, GA, MO, NC, OK, PA, TN, RI, VA:  We can now accept: Home health workers if they exclusively work for one individual in the home – this includes elderly companions who assist with basic personal care. These classes are not like other WC classes where the rate is charged per $100 earned.  They are flat rates based on the # of employees and the average # of hours they work weekly. Audits are unique.  Since the classes are a flat fee and not payroll driven, we will ask you as the agent to help us conduct a simple one-page form as an audit to confirm the # of employees by class for last and expected for next 12 months.  This will give you a reason to visit with your high-value clients. For this program, the pay plan is strictly annual pay.

 

  • Please submit completed WC ACORD with appropriate domestic supplemental. If they have no prior, we can still consider them.  If they have prior, we will need loss runs. If a lapse, they too can be considered with a signed no-loss letter.
  • If they are currently in an assigned risk pool, keep in mind that they can generally be moved without penalty at any time.
  • If they have prior with a loss ratio above 40% it will be declined for this program.
