Filing Information
Filing Requirements
All Property and Casualty filings must be submitted using the System for Electronic Rate and Form Filing (SERFF), and the Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) function within SERFF when submitting the filing fee. Filing instructions are available within SERFF or in Bulletin 10-010 (5.1. Bulletins/10-010.pdf). See Filings Required by Line of Insurance (link to anchor: #filing_requirements) to determine if rates or forms require filing for a specific type of insurance. For deemer requirements, applicable to personal rate-change filings, please refer to Deemer Provision (7.1. PC/docs/DeemerProvision.pdf).
