626.9361 Failure to file report; administrative penalty – Any eligible surplus lines insurer who fails to file a report in the form and within the time required or provided for in the Surplus Lines Law may be fined up to $500 per day for each day such failure continues, beginning the day after the report was due, until the date the report is received.

Failure to file a report may also result in withdrawal of eligibility as a surplus lines insurer in this state. All sums collected by the department under this section shall be deposited into the Insurance Regulatory Trust Fund.  

Keep XML Batch Contact Information Current  

The email address included in your XML batch file must be accurate and regularly monitored, as submission confirmations, error notifications, and other important filing communications may be sent to this address.  

Before submitting a batch file, verify that the email address listed under the <Insurer> element in the BatchDataSet (<EmailAddress></EmailAddress>) is accurate and up-to-date. Correct any outdated or misspelled email addresses to ensure important notifications reach the appropriate contact.

Action Required: MFA Will Be Mandatory Starting January 1, 2027

To better protect your account and the sensitive information in SLIP+, Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) will be required for all SLIP+ users beginning January 1, 2027.

MFA adds a second step of security when you log in. After you enter your password, you'll confirm it's really you with a code sent by text message (SMS), email, or one generated by an authenticator app. So even if someone gets your password, they still can't get into your account without that crucial second step. MFA is currently available in SLIP+, and we encourage you to set it up before the deadline.

Why Set It Up Now?

• Avoid login interruptions: Starting January 1, users who have not enabled MFA will be prompted to set it up before they can reach SLIP+.
• Stay ahead of year-end deadlines: Setting up MFA now means one less thing to deal with during a busy filing season.
• Protect your agency: MFA is one of the most effective ways to prevent unauthorized access to your account.

To enable MFA in SLIP+, simply log in and follow the MFA prompts.
