Explanation of change to primary/excess split point
Under the Experience Rating Plan, both actual and expected losses are divided into two groups, primary and excess. Up until 2013, primary loss has been the first $5,000 of any loss. The entire actual primary loss amount enters into the calculation. Actual excess loss, the amount above $5,000, is discounted from 20% to 96% depending on the size of the employer (specifically, their expected losses).
