If your company was not group rated during any 12 months between 7/1/2001 and 6/30/2009, you should have received a notice from the Court of Common Pleas of Cuyahoga County regarding the class action lawsuit SAN ALLEN dba Corky & Lenny’s, et al.  I’m not a lawyer, but as I understand it, the lawsuit has been filed alleging that the BWC charged excessive premium rates that were prejudicial to non-group rated employers.

 The BWC denies that it owes money to the members of the class and denies that its rating system is prejudicial to non-group rated employers.

 Of course non-group rated employers paid higher premium rates than group rated employers.  But the court will decide if it was unlawful and if monies are due to non-group rated employers.

I’m staying in the class, even though I doubt that the BWC will have to pay refunds to non-group rated employers.
