The ER's certificate to self insure is valid until revoked by the director.

• A. Irrevocable in CA
• B. Valid for other jurisdictions
• C. Valid until revoked by the director
• D. Renewed Annually by the Director

Answer: (C)

In California, a self-insurance certificate is issued by the director and remains in effect until the director revokes it. The key idea is that the state maintains ongoing oversight: the employer must continue to meet solvency and reporting requirements, and the director can revoke the certificate if those standards aren’t met. Because of that revocation authority, the certificate isn’t irrevocable, and its validity isn’t tied to a fixed time or to other jurisdictions. It’s specific to California and isn’t automatically recognized elsewhere. It’s not something the director renews annually as a simple ongoing grant; instead, continued eligibility is required, with revocation possible at any time for noncompliance.
