New York State Public Entities Safety Group 497 and the New York State Insurance Fund are pleased to announce a 35 percent dividend for the policy year July 1, 2020 to July 1, 2021. This marks the 39th consecutive year Safety Group 497 has paid a dividend to its members.
The dividend of 35 percent represents $4,777,091 returned to members for the July 1, 2020 to July 1, 2021 policy term. This also marks a total of $74,137,935 in dividends returned to members since the Group’s inception in 1981. Furthermore, this is the fifth consecutive year that the group has paid a dividend of 35% or greater to its members.
In addition to a 35% dividend, NYSIF has approved the availability of a maximum 30% upfront discount for qualified Safety Group 497 renewals for the July 1, 2022 to July 1, 2023 policy term.
The Safety Group dividend is based on the overall claims experience of all Group members versus the insurance premiums collected. Safety Group 497 is proud to be one of the few programs consistently paying dividends to New York’s Public Entities. Thanks to all of the current Safety Group 497 Members that continue to place their trust in New York State Public Entities Safety Group 497.
