Who must file the Self-Insurer's Annual Report on a form supplied by the director?

• A. Every Insurer
• B. The Director
• C. The Insurance Commissioner
• D. The Board of Directors

Answer: (B)

The main idea is that the self-insurer is the one obligated to file the annual report, not the regulator. In California, the Self-Insurer’s Annual Report must be submitted by the self-insured employer (the entity that has self-insured its workers’ compensation obligations) using a standardized form that the director provides. The director’s role is to issue the form and set the reporting requirements so the regulator can assess financial solvency and compliance. The filing itself is done by the self-insurer, not by the director, the Insurance Commissioner, or a board.
