Governing Law This form is governed by the Ohio Revised Code Section 4123, which outlines the regulations for self-insured employers.
Submission Requirements Applicants must answer all questions on the form. If a question is not applicable, they should indicate this by using "N/A".
Financial Disclosure Failure to file requests for data and financial statements may result in the denial of the renewal for self-insurance.

Documents used along the form

The Ohio SI 7 form is an important document for companies seeking to renew their authorization to operate as self-insured employers. Along with this form, several other documents may be required to ensure compliance with state regulations. Below is a list of additional forms that are commonly used in conjunction with the Ohio SI 7 form.

  • Certificate of Employer's Right to Pay Compensation Directly: This certificate confirms that a self-insured employer has the right to manage their own workers' compensation claims.
  • Financial Statements: These documents provide a detailed overview of the company’s financial health, which is necessary for evaluating self-insurance eligibility.
  • Excess Workers' Compensation Insurance Policy: A copy of this policy may be needed if the company carries excess insurance to cover claims beyond a certain limit.
  • Organizational Chart: This chart outlines the structure of the company and may be required if there have been any changes in corporate structure.
  • Notary Certification: This is often included to validate signatures on the application and confirm the authenticity of the information provided.
  • Mobile Home Bill of Sale Form: To ensure a smooth transfer of ownership, consider the essential mobile home bill of sale documentation for a legally compliant sale.
  • Claims Record Location Form: This document lists all locations where claims records are maintained, ensuring transparency and accessibility for audits.
  • Ohio Secretary of State Papers: These documents are necessary to verify the legal standing and incorporation details of the company in Ohio.

Gathering these documents alongside the Ohio SI 7 form can help streamline the renewal process and ensure compliance with state requirements. It is advisable to review all requirements carefully to avoid delays.

Guidelines on Filling in Ohio Si 7

Completing the Ohio SI 7 form is essential for employers seeking to renew their authorization to operate as a self-insured entity. It requires detailed information about the company, its structure, and its financial status. Following these steps will help ensure the form is filled out accurately and completely.

  1. Begin by entering the renewal date and self-insured policy number at the top of the form.
  2. Fill in the employer's name exactly as it appears in the Articles of Incorporation.
  3. Provide the federal ID number and complete the address section, including the city, county, state, and nine-digit ZIP code.
  4. Indicate the number of Ohio employees as of the application date, including subsidiaries.
  5. List the corporate contact person's name, phone number, FAX number, and email address.
  6. Fill out the state of incorporation and date of incorporation.
  7. Select the type of entity by checking the appropriate box (Corporation, Partnership, LLC, Public employer).
  8. If applicable, answer the questions regarding the public employer status, including bond rating and SEC compliance.
  9. Provide information about the ultimate USA parent, including name, federal ID number, state of incorporation, date of incorporation, and percentage of ownership.
  10. List any subsidiary entities in Ohio authorized to operate under the self-insured policy number, including their organization name, federal ID number, percent of ownership, and employee count.
  11. Provide the Ohio administrator's phone number and confirm if there have been any changes to the administrator in the last 12 months.

Common mistakes

Completing the Ohio SI-7 form accurately is crucial for maintaining self-insured status. One common mistake is failing to answer all questions. Each section of the form must be addressed. If a question does not apply, it is important to indicate this by using "N/A." Omitting this can lead to delays in processing.

Another frequent error involves incorrect or incomplete company information. Employers should ensure that the name is entered exactly as it appears in the Articles of Incorporation. Inaccurate federal ID numbers or addresses can complicate the review process. Additionally, providing the wrong number of Ohio employees as of the application date can lead to significant issues.

Many applicants neglect to update their corporate contact details. It is essential to provide the current corporate contact person's name, phone number, and email address. Outdated information can hinder communication and lead to misunderstandings.

Some applicants overlook the requirement to submit financial statements and data requests. Without these documents, the Bureau of Workers' Compensation (BWC) will not consider the renewal. This oversight can result in the denial of the self-insured application.

Additionally, not providing accurate subsidiary information is a common mistake. Employers must list all subsidiary entities authorized by the BWC to operate under the self-insured policy number. Failing to do so can result in complications regarding coverage and compliance.

Another mistake involves the failure to disclose changes in corporate structure or ownership. If there have been changes within the past year, a detailed explanation must be provided. Neglecting this requirement can raise red flags during the review process.

Some applicants do not verify the experience of their Ohio administrator. The administrator must be an employee of the company and should have at least one year of experience as a workers' compensation administrator for self-insured employers in Ohio. This information is critical for ensuring proper administration of claims.

It is also important to accurately report on excess workers' compensation insurance. If the company carries this insurance, a copy of the policy's declaration page must be submitted. Failure to provide this documentation can lead to questions about coverage.

Lastly, applicants sometimes forget to certify the form properly. The certification must be signed by an authorized corporate officer, and the notary seal must be included. Incomplete certification can delay the processing of the application.
