SCID RISKS, RATES, EXPERT RESIGNS

Dean Kruger, the South Carolina Insurance Department’s chief expert on risks and rates, was asked to resign after he criticized the National Council on Compensation Insurance.

Kruger criticized the way NCCI made calculations that affected workers’ compensation rates in South Carolina. Earlier this year, Kruger and others criticisms led legislators to order the insurance department to establish a special study committee to suggest what role the council would have in South Carolina’s workers’ compensation insurance system in the future.
