SELF-INSURANCE ORGANIZATION CERTIFICATION AND ATTESTATION
We, the above-named Self-Insurance Organization (“Self-Insurer” or “we”), through our authorized
representative, hereby certify and attest that we will provide coverage for the above-named Self-Insured
Member (“Member”) pursuant to Section 517.4(a)(1)(ix) of HICPA.
We certify and attest that we have provided the Bureau of Consumer Protection (“Bureau”) with a current
list of every Organization Member who performs home improvements as defined under HICPA Section 517.2,
and who are covered by our organization. That list includes each Member’s name, business name (if
applicable), and business address, and is attached hereto as an exhibit.
We certify and attest that, in the event that any valid claim arises against the Member for personal injury or
property damage related to the Member’s work as a home improvement contractor, we will pay such claim
without unreasonable delay.
We certify and attest that we have the financial ability to cover liability claims against the Member in
amounts not less than $50,000 for personal injury and $50,000 for property damage. We further certify and
attest that we have the financial ability to cover liability claims against every other home improvement
contractor similarly covered by the Self-Insurer. We hereby acknowledge that the Bureau may require proof of
our financial ability at any time, and that the Bureau in its sole discretion may determine the nature and
sufficiency of the proof required to demonstrate our financial ability to satisfy the self-insurance requirements of
HICPA. We hereby agree to provide any and all information and documents that the Bureau may request.
Please note, that under Section 517.7(a)(11) the Bureau will require that every home
improvement contractor who is self-insured include a statement in every home improvement
contract that they are self-insured, and provide the name, address, and telephone number of the
organization providing the self-insurance.
We certify and attest that this self-insurance coverage for the Member shall remain in force unless and until
terminated pursuant to the following terms:
1. We may terminate Member’s coverage upon sixty (60) days written notice to the Bureau.
2. We will notify the Member of the cancellation, in writing, sixty (60) days prior to the effective date of
cancellation and remind the Member of the obligation to obtain such other insurance as is
necessary to comply with HICPA, in a timely manner.
3. We acknowledge that such termination will not eliminate our obligation to pay any valid claims for
personal injury or property damage which arose from any home improvement contract signed when
this coverage was in force.
I, the authorized representative of the Self-Insurer, hereby certify and attest that the information contained
in this Certification is true and correct. I further certify and attest that I have actual authority to make this
Certification on behalf of the Self-Insurer identified above. I also understand that any false statement made
herein is subject to the penalties for unsworn falsification to authorities contained in 18 Pa.C.S. § 4904.
