On August 3, 2018, the California Department of Insurance will hold a public hearing regarding the proposed changes to the 8868 Class Codes.
The proposed changes, at the recommendation of the Workers’ Compensation Insurance Rating Bureau (WCIRB), will break the 8868 class code into the following divisions:
8868 & 9101 – K-College Schools (Academic Professionals & Non-Academic Professionals, Respectively)
8869 & 9102 – Vocational Schools, Academic Professionals & Non-Academic Professionals respectively)
8871 – Supplemental Education
8872 – Social Services
8873 – Training or Day Programs for Adults
8874 – Special Education Services for Children & Youth
8876 – Community Based Adult Services
These changes, if approved, could have a significant impact on California businesses. A recent article by the Workers’ Compensation Executer, a leading news source in the insurance industry, suggest up to 25% increases in some of the proposed class codes.
