AAIS has submitted a response to a Michigan policy forms survey on
behalf of its affiliates who are using current versions of AAIS forms
and endorsements.
In January, the Michigan Office of Financial and
Insurance Services (MOFIS) issued a
memorandum requiring all companies to fill out a survey asking if
forms have any provisions that might restrict a policyholder's pursuit
of a claim against the insurer, and if they have provisions that comply
with certain Michigan statutes.
AAIS submitted a separate survey form for the
current version of each AAIS program. Companies must contact the MOFIS
themselves to
indicate which AAIS programs they are using, and to complete the survey
for any non-AAIS forms or non-current AAIS forms they are using. The
survey is attached to the memorandum.
AAIS affiliates can find copies of the completed
survey forms in the "Advisory Information" on
AAISdirect for each line of
insurance they use in Michigan. Companies that use AAIS programs in
Michigan but are not signed up for AAISdirect can submit a
request for a copy of a completed survey to
cecelias@AAISonline.com.
The Georgia Office of Insurance and Safety Fire
Commissioner has issued a
bulletin
establishing guidelines for electronic filing of property/casualty rates
and forms.
As of Jan. 1, 2006, the office's P/C division
began accepting filings submitted through the System for Electronic Rate
and Form Filing (SERFF); use of SERFF is expected to be mandatory for
P/C filings as of Jan. 1, 2007.
Also effective Jan. 1, 2006, any filing not
submitted through SERFF must be submitted on compact disks.
Organizations that submitted paper filings between Jan. 1 and Jan. 30,
2006 can resubmit them using the instructions for non-SERFF filings.
