To obtain funds to pay covered claims, MPCGA assesses member companies based on a percentage of the net direct premiums written in Michigan in particular covered lines of insurance for the preceding calendar year. As required by statute, assessments are divided into five categories, which consist of worker’s compensation insurance, automobile insurance, title insurance, “other 1” (fire, allied lines, farm owner’s multiple peril, homeowner’s multiple peril, inland marine, earthquake, and credit insurance), and “other 2” (all other types of insurance except life and disability insurance).

Separate assessments are made for each statutory category and are limited each year to 1% of the net premiums written in this state for the previous calendar year. Refunds are made when, and in such amounts, as determined by MPCGA’s Board of Governors.
