Washington State Service Contract Provider Update

Effective July 27, 2025, Washington State will allow service contract providers to use multiple reimbursement insurance policies (CLIP) as forms of indemnity.

Service contractor providers may now use more than one reimbursement insurance policy (CLIP) as a form of indemnity. A service contract must be insured by only one CLIP. You can’t insure the same service contract on more than one CLIP; however, you can use multiple CLIPs to cover the same category of service contract.
