Catastrophe Contact Information Due May 31

It is critical to update your catastrophe contact information before hurricane season begins on June 1. This information serves as a valuable resource to FSLSO staff and state regulators when assisting policyholders following a natural disaster.

Even if you filed previously and your contact information hasn’t changed, you must acknowledge that your current information is correct. We ask agents and insurers to update their information on an annual basis.

 

To update your catastrophe contact information, log into SLIP+ for Florida and click Catastrophe Data under the Compliance tab.

For assistance on submitting the Catastrophe Contact Information, reach out to Insurer.Services@fslso.com.

Keep Your Contact Information in Batch Files Updated

It is important that the email address contained in your batch file is current and correct. The email address included in the batch file is used for several critical purposes, including:

  • Delivering Batch Submission Response emails.
  • Sending premium deficiency notices and other communications related to quarterly reporting.

If the email address in your batch file is outdated or incorrect, your company may not receive important notifications. To ensure we are receiving the most updated contact information from batch filings, please review the contact information within your batch file data pull.

How to Update the Email Address

  1. Open your batch file using a text editor or filing software.
  2. Locate the email address within the batch file in the <Insurer> </Insurer> BatchDataSet.
  3. Replace the existing email address with the correct one.

For assistance on updating batch filing information, reach out to our IT department at BatchFiling@fslso.com.

Discrepancy and Data Accuracy: Why it is important to respond

When insurers receive communication from staff regarding premium discrepancies or data accuracy, timely response is critical to both compliance and efficient reporting.

These notices are issued when differences are identified between insurer and agent/IPC reported data. Promptly reviewing and resolving discrepancies helps ensure your filings remain accurate and complete, as requested Insurers must report all surplus lines insurance transacted for risks where Florida is the home state of the insured.

Filings should be submitted quarterly for foreign insurers and annually for alien insurers, pursuant to Section 626.931, Florida Statutes. For additional guidance, please refer to the Insurer Services resources available on FSLSO.com. Failure to address these issues may result in escalation, including referral to the Florida Office of Insurance Regulation for further discretionary action.

Beyond compliance, accurate data directly improves premium reconciliation outcomes. When discrepancies are resolved early, it reduces follow-up requests, repeat outreach, and additional review efforts from the FSLSO team. To learn more about premium reconciliation and its success in Florida, visit the Premium Reconciliation page on slipplus.com.

Timely responses and accurate reporting help you stay compliant, while also streamlining administrative processes and improve future interactions with our office.

If you have additional questions on the deficiency notices or any other compliance requirements, reach out to our Insurer Services team at Insurer.Services@fslso.com for more information.
