Which statement best describes the validity of the Certificate to Self Insure after a self-insurance program is initiated?

• A. Irrevocable in California
• B. Valid for other jurisdictions
• C. Valid until revoked by the Director
• D. Renewed annually by the Director

Answer: (C)

The certificate to self‑insure stays in effect as long as the self‑insurer continues to meet California’s requirements. Once issued, it remains valid until the Director revokes it for noncompliance, insolvency, failure to file required reports, or other statutory violations. It applies only to California operations and does not carry validity in other jurisdictions. It isn’t automatically renewed annually by default; ongoing compliance and any necessary actions or renewals dictated by the Director keep the certificate in force.
