The Kentucky Associated General Contractors Self-Insurers’ Fund, a workers’ compensation insurance provider in the state of Kentucky, will return more than $18.5 million, including special fund tax reimbursement, in dividends to qualifying members in March of 2021.

The board of trustees also resolved to adjust the fund’s rates for the 2021 policy year. For 2021, the fund’s overall rates will decrease by 3.4%. No rate will increase by more than 5%, and no rate will be decreased by more than 10%.

According to the fund, this dividend payment will represent 27 consecutive years of dividend payments totaling over $215.6 million. As of Oct. 31, 2020, 97% of current fund members were eligible for a dividend payment. The following criteria must be met to qualify for a payment:
