Montana: Largest insurer approves 4 percent cut in premiums

The Montana State Fund recently adopted a 4 percent overall average decrease in workers' compensation premium rates.

According to the board of directors of the state's largest workers' comp insurer, the rates will go into effect July 1.

Officials said rates will be determined by looking at the types of jobs and business classifications of policyholders, as well as individual loss history. Overall average rates will depend on industry and loss experience.
