What is the status of an employer's Certificate to Self Insure once it is initiated?

• A. It is irrevocable in California
• B. It is valid for other jurisdictions
• C. It is valid until revoked by the Director
• D. It is renewed annually by the Director

Answer: (C)

The status of an employer's Certificate to Self Insure once it is initiated is valid until revoked by the Director. This means that once a self-insurance certificate is granted, it remains effective as long as the employer continues to meet the necessary requirements and the Director does not take any action to revoke it. This provides a level of certainty for employers engaged in self-insurance, as they can rely on the validity of their certificate for ongoing coverage without the need to renew it annually, unlike some other forms of insurance. The Director has the authority to revoke the certificate if the employer fails to adhere to the regulations governing self-insurance, but until such a decision is made, the certificate continues to be valid.
