Rates on Workers Compensation Insurance are fairly high in Idaho and it has been on the rise over the past 5 years. Idaho is currently the 16th most expensive state in the country to buy work comp coverage. Just five years ago it was lower than the national average.
Idaho has its own state fund that competes with the open market. The State Insurance Fund was created by the Idaho Legislature in 1917. It is not tax-supported and the State of Idaho is not liable for any indebtedness incurred by the Fund. The State Insurance Fund has no regulatory or enforcement powers. Idaho also partners with the National Council on Compensaiton Insurance (NCCI) to determine rates on class codes and to administer the assigned risk for the state. States that have a partnership like this typically enjoy lower rates. Because of the small populaiton in Idaho there just is not much competition amongst carriers on the open market. For this reason Workers' Comp Rates in Idaho continue to rise.

The basic purpose of the Workers’ Compensation is to provide wage replacement benefits and medical treatment for employees who have been injured or become ill due to a work-related injury or illness. It prevents the employer from bearing the costs of injuries that occur during normal business operations.
The State Insurance Fund was created by the Idaho Legislature in 1917 as a part of the Workers' Compensation Act. The Legislature created the State Insurance Fund for the purpose of providing a reliable source of workers compensation insurance for Idaho employers and to provide security for the payment of benefits to covered workers. The State Insurance Fund is not tax-supported and the State of Idaho is not liable for any indebtedness incurred by the Fund.

Your business benefits from workers' compensation coverage, by not being liable for injuries that occur as a part of normal business operations. This applies whether the injury was the fault of the business or was caused by negligent actions of the employee. You can move forward with your business operations knowing that if one of your employees is injured because of something that happens as a normal part of your business operations, your business is not liable for the costs.
Idaho partners with the National Council on Compensation Insurance (NCCI). NCCI gathers data, analyzes industry trends, and prepares objective insurance rate and loss cost recommendations. NCCI is the nation’s most experienced provider of workers compensation information, tools, and services. Idaho uses NCCI to determine rates on workers' compensation coverage only. Not to administer the assigned risk.
