The manager for good cause may require any self-insured to submit a self-insurer's annual report covering which period in addition to the annual report?

• A. Six-month interim
• B. Quarterly
• C. Monthly
• D. Two-year period

Answer: (A)

The idea being tested is interim financial oversight. When a manager for good cause wants closer monitoring of a self-insured, they can require a supplementary report that covers a six-month period beyond the annual report. This six-month interim provides a mid-year snapshot of the self-insured’s financial condition, including assets, liabilities, and loss reserves, so the manager can assess ongoing solvency and the ability to meet future claim obligations.

Why this period fits best: a six-month interim gives timely, manageable insight without the burden of monthly or quarterly reports, and it keeps oversight reasonably current between annual filings. A six-month window aligns with typical mid-year reviews and is long enough to reflect meaningful developments in claims and reserves.

Why the other options aren’t the best fit: monthly reporting is usually too burdensome for self-insurers; quarterly could be more frequent than what’s required or practical for this purpose; a two-year period wouldn’t provide timely oversight between annual reports.
