Special Rules
| Deposit premium Deposit premium is determined by taking a percentage of the estimated annual premium. This percentage varies with the amount of the estimated annual premium. Here is how it works: | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Estimated annual premium | Payment basis | Minimum deposit | Additional payments during year |
| Under $2,500 | Annual | 100% of annual | None |
| $2,501 - $10,000 | Quarterly | 40% of annual | Three* |
| Over $10,000 | Monthly | 30% of annual | Nine* |
| *$10 service charge per installment. Such additional payments shall be in equal amounts, the sum of which, when added to the deposit premium, shall equal 100 percent of the estimated annual premium. Estimated annual premium and the payment schedule are subject to adjustment, interim or final audit, and applicant may select a higher deposit percentage at inception. The contract carrier, based on sound underwriting practices, has the right to make appropriate changes in the payment basis which the employer has selected. The contract carrier will give the reasons for any change. If your estimated annual premium equals or exceeds $250,000, you qualify for the mandatory Missouri Loss Sensitive Rating Plan. An additional 20 percent deposit is required by the plan. |
