ESO Workers' Comp Group Earns $90K Annual Dividend

The Emergency Service Organization (ESO) Workers’ Compensation Safety Group has earned an annual dividend totaling $90,363 in 2019.  Qualifying policyholders in the ESO Safety Group will receive a check for their portion of this dividend in June.

This dividend calculation reflects three years of data.  This year’s payout was earned for the 2015-2016 plan year. Unfortunately, no dividend was earned for the 2016-2017 or 2017-2018 plan years because losses for these two years exceeded dividend eligibility requirements.

The ESO Safety Group was formed in October of 1999 by VFIS of Texas / WinStar Insurance Group to reduce workers’ compensation premiums for emergency service organizations by offering competitive pricing, premium discounts based on the entire group’s premium volume, customized loss prevention programs, training and educational opportunities, and dividends for good performance.  To date, $2,400,538 in dividends have been paid to our group members.  Dividends are based on performance and are not guaranteed.
