About EIA
The EIA is ranked as one of the largest property/casualty and employee benefit public entity risk pools in the nation.1
The CSAC Excess Insurance Authority (EIA) is a risk sharing pool of California public agencies, dedicated to controlling losses and providing effective risk management solutions.
In 1979, 29 California counties came together to form a Joint Powers Authority (JPA) called the CSAC Excess Insurance Authority to pool their risk and provide a viable and cost effective solution for the counties’ insurance and risk management needs.
Since then, the EIA’s membership has expanded to include 93% of the counties in California and nearly 61% of the cities, as well as numerous school districts, special districts, housing authorities, fire districts, and other Joint Powers Authorities.
The EIA’s strength and continued success is founded on its innovative risk management techniques, solid management, responsive, superior services, and most importantly, member involvement.
Through efforts of the EIA’s member entities, the EIA staff, and our long term partner, Alliant Insurance Services, Inc., the EIA has created risk coverage programs that are stable, secure and flexible.
The EIA is recognized as a leader and pioneer in the JPA risk management community. The EIA is the first JPA in California to receive the Government Finance Officers Association’s Certificate of Excellence in Financial Reporting since June 30, 1994. Additionally, the EIA has been accredited with excellence continuously since 1989 by the California Association of Joint Powers Authorities (CAJPA).
