Monthly Payroll Reporting, Deposit, & Billing Terms Changes

March 2, 2017

(San Francisco, CA) -- We are introducing significant improvements to our billing terms and payment options to make it easier for policyholders to manage their cash flow and do business with us. Specifically, we are going to allow more policyholders to take advantage of monthly payroll reporting by lowering the base premium eligibility and deposit requirements. Additionally, we are extending terms of payments for stipulated billing plans. Here’s what’s new:

Monthly Payroll Reporting and Premium Payment:

Effective for accounts with May 1, 2017 anniversary dates or dates thereafter:

  1. The premium threshold for eligibility will be reduced from $25,000 to $5,000 Base Premium.
  2. The required premium deposit for monthly payroll reporting will be reduced from 25% to 10% of estimated annual premium (EAP).
How to Request Monthly Payroll Reporting and Premium Payment Option Temporary staffing agencies, PEOs, and farm labor contractors, will continue to be required to pay premium via payroll reporting regardless of premium size. However, effective May 1, we will reduce their deposit requirement to 10% of EAP.

New Payment Terms for Stipulated Billing:

The stipulated billing plan remains the same for policyholders who like the convenience of predictable monthly or quarterly payments. As an additional benefit, beginning February 27, 2017 we are extending the payment terms from 10 to 25 calendar days.

Please note that policyholders who select monthly payroll reporting are still required to send their payroll reports with premium payment to State Fund within 10 calendar days following the payroll period.

And don’t forget we offer online services through State Fund Online including one-time payroll reporting and premium payments, ePayroll/ePayment email notifications, and AutoPay.
