ELECTION AS TO COVERAGE (§ 60.2-510)

A. Any employing unit, not otherwise subject to this title, which files with the
Commission its written election to become an employer subject to this title for
not less than two calendar years, shall, with the written approval of the
Commission, become an employer subject to this title to the same extent as all
other employers. Such employer shall be subject as of January 1 of the calendar
year for which such election is approved, and shall cease to be subject as of
January 1 of any calendar year subsequent to such two calendar years if it has
filed with the Commission a written notice to that effect. However, the
Commission may, on its own motion, and after ten days&#8217; written notice
mailed to such employing unit at its last known address, without regard to the
two-year calendar period, revoke such written approval. As of the date of such
revocation, such employing unit shall cease to be an employer.

B. Any employing unit for which services are performed which do not constitute
employment as defined in this title may file with the Commission a written
election that all such services performed by individuals in its employ in one or
more distinct establishments or places of business shall be deemed to constitute
employment for all the purposes of this title for not less than two calendar
years. Upon the Commission&#8217;s written approval, such services shall be
deemed to constitute employment subject to this title from the date stated in
such approval. Such services shall cease to be deemed employment subject thereto
as of January 1 of any calendar year subsequent to such two calendar years, only
if at least thirty days prior to such January 1 such employing unit has filed
with the Commission a written notice to that effect.
