Change of ownership
Your responsibility
If you change the legal structure of your business or sell your business
You must:
- Notify us promptly in writing of this change.
| Note: If the change in ownership is limited to a change in legal structure, we may allow the new entity to continue to be a member of the group without a new application. If on the other hand the change results in new ownership, the new owner(s) will need to reapply if they want to participate in the group plan. |
| Example: A business operated as a sole proprietorship changes their legal structure to a corporation. Assuming the sole proprietor owner owns more than fifty percent of the stock in the corporation, we would allow this business to continue to be a member of the group without a new application. |
Our responsibility
Upon receipt of your notification
We will:
- Determine if you need to complete a new application form to continue participation in the retro group.
- Notify the sponsoring organization of the change in the legal structure of your business and whether or not a new application will be needed for the member.
Sponsoring organization's responsibility
If L&I requires a new application for a member
You must:
- Secure the new application from the member and forward it to L&I by the date indicated on the application.
| Note: If we do not receive the application by the due date, the employer will not be enrolled in your retro group. |
