How Workers' Comp rates are set in Connecticut
Connecticut runs a private Workers' Comp market. Rate filings are reviewed by the Connecticut Insurance Department. We track 38 distinct classification(s) for Connecticut across 38 active filing(s). Workers' Comp loss costs are filed by NCCI in most states or by an independent state rating bureau; your actual premium is that filed loss cost multiplied by your carrier's loss-cost multiplier (LCM), your experience modifier, and your payroll divided by $100 — so two Connecticut businesses in the same classification can pay very different rates. Comparing quotes from multiple carriers is the only way to see how those multipliers differ for your specific operation.
Across the Connecticut filings we track, filed loss costs range from $0.07 to $9.84 per $100 of payroll, filed by 2 distinct carrier(s) or bureau(s). The lines represented are Workers Compensation. Classifications tracked include NCCI class codes 0005, 0042, 0106, 5022, 5183, 5190, 5223, 5403, 5437, 5462, 5474, 5535, 5606, 5645, 7219, 7230, 7231, 7370, 7380, 7382, 7705, 8279, 8380, 8385, 8392, 8742, 8748, 8810, 9014, 9015, 9058, 9082, 9083, 9101, 9402, 9403, 9586.
