RE: 2021-22 New Program Year
Dear Mr. Carroll,
On behalf of the Special District Risk Management Authority (SDRMA) Board of Directors and our entire
risk management team, it is my pleasure to extend our sincere appreciation for your participation in our
program(s). The new program year begins July 1, and the complete coverage documents will be available
in MemberPlus OnlineTM in early August.
On July 1, 2021, you may access the following documents in MemberPlus under QUICK LINKS:
Member’s Certificate of Coverage
Non-Member’s Certificate of Coverage

Important Dates to Remember for 2021-22
If you would like to receive a printed copy of any of the above documents, please contact us
memberplus@sdrma.org or 800.537.7790.
Correspondence from SDRMA will continue to be distributed to our membership in the following manner:
Member Letters and attachments are posted to MemberPlus under NOTIFICATIONS.
Agency contacts on file with SDRMA will receive an emailed announcement (e-blast) when new
correspondence has been posted to MemberPlus. All e-blasts are posted to MemberPlus under
NOTIFICATIONS for the full program year.
A letter will be sent by USPS to your agency’s primary contact on file with SDRMA, when new
correspondence is posted to MemberPlus.
Renewal and Interim Invoices will be distributed as noted above in addition to being emailed to
your primary contact, secondary contact, and finance officer on file with SDRMA. However, if your
agency has an insurance broker, invoices will only be emailed to the broker on record.
The printed monthly safety booklets will no longer be distributed. Online safety training through
Vector Solutions will continue to be available, at no cost to SDRMA Members.
The 2021-22 Important Dates to Remember will be updated in MemberPlus as needed. Key dates
include; Renewal Questionnaire, Payroll Reconciliation, SDRMA Education Days, and more.
NEW THIS YEAR:
SDRMA Property/Liability Program Members will be required to submit the Alliant Public Entity Cyber
Liability Insurance Application for the 2022-23 renewal. This new process will require a separate
registration into the Alliant Cyber Portal and may require assistance from your IT support staff or vendor.
The Alliant Cyber Liability Application will be available on September 1, 2021. Further instruction will be
provided in late August. We recommend you access the application as soon as it is available to become
familiar with the required information, before it is due on March 1, 2022.
Reminders:
At our 2022 Spring Education Day on March 22, we will provide attendees with updated information on
the state of the insurance market. These updates will include the condition of the insurance market and
how they may impact the upcoming renewal.
SDRMA provides reimbursement for Loss Prevention expenditures. Members can be reimbursed up to
$1,000 per program year. Please contact us at accounting@sdrma.org or 800.537.7790 for pre-approvals
or reimbursement requests.
For Property/Liability Program Members, SDRMA provides an Employer "Hotline" for questions related
to Employment Law. Best Best & Krieger is providing this service to SDRMA members and is one of the
most experienced and largest public agency law firms with eight offices in California. The "Hotline"
provides upper-level management access to complimentary Employment Law related legal services on
behalf of your agency after initial screening and referral by SDRMA. The goal is to reduce the frequency
and severity of employment related claims which will have a direct impact on our pool's claim liabilities
and expenses.
For Workers’ Compensation Members, please remember to use the complimentary Company Nurse
telephone triage service in the event of a workplace injury by calling them direct at 877.518.6711. This
free service will help you determine whether the workplace injury is treatable as a first aid injury or a
workers' compensation claim at the time of the accident and will assist you with filling out the proper
paperwork, etc.
If you have any questions, please contact our office at memberplus@sdrma.org or 800.537.7790.
Sincerely,
Special District Risk Management Authority
Laura S. Gill
Chief Executive Officer
