HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Well, happy new program year! An email was sent
to the CalTIP Board members on May 2 ^nd with a link to a checklist from which to select your agency's risk control service preferences for the 2019-20 program year. If you received the email, but you aren't the one making the decision, please send it on to the correct person. The email  was accompanied with attached service descriptions and field service guidelines. Please ensure that only one person from your agency responds to the survey so as to avoid confusion.

 

Once your agency has submitted its selection, we will have the appropriate risk control team member contact you to establish the service date and service details. You don't have to have the service completed immediately; you may schedule it to occur much later in the program year. The risk control team member will contact you again approximately six weeks prior to the originally agreed to time frame to confirm the date and service. 

 

If you have any questions regarding the available risk control services or the survey, please contact Terrie Norris at  terrie.norris@yorkrisk.com or at (800) 541-4591, ext. 19055.

EPN PROGRAM

CalTIP and SAMBA terminated their relationship in January 2019. That means that any CalTIP member which decided to stay with SAMBA should be receiving Employer Pull Notice (EPN) service invoices directly from SAMBA.

CalTIP established a new EPN service program with A-Check in 2018 and began transitioning members to A-Check. CalTIP members enrolled in the A-Check EPN program are not billed directly by A-Check, as they are covered under the CalTIP EPN account.
A-Check does provide separation of services for city members so that only their transit operation's drivers are enrolled in the CalTIP sponsored EPN
A-Check program. City members using A-Check for other departments, such as police and public works, will receive direct billing from A-Check for the EPN services to those non-transit departments.
