Tidy Up Your SLIP+ Agency Account

If you manage your agency’s SLIP+ account, now is the perfect time to review and update your Associated Agent Selection to ensure accuracy.

How to Review:

  1. Log into your SLIP+ agency account.

  2. Navigate to Settings by clicking the username on the far right of the navigation menu to view your list of associated agents.

Ask Yourself:

  • Are all listed agents still active?

  • Do any new hires need to be added?

  • Should any former agents be removed?

Why It Matters:

Outdated user lists can lead to issues like:

  • Erroneous invoices.
  • Missed invoices resulting in late payment penalties.

How to Update Your Agents:

  • To Add an Agent: Complete an Agent Authorization Form and submit it to agent.services@fslso.com.

  • To Remove an Agent: Notify us directly at agent.services@fslso.com.

Remember: Only FSLSO staff can make additions or removals for agency accounts.

Keep your SLIP+ account current—it’s quick, easy, and helps you avoid unnecessary headaches!

What is a Compliance Review?

Every three years, both resident and non-resident surplus lines agents undergo a Compliance Review. This review involves a fundamental verification of key information, including policy effective dates, premiums, tax, fee and assessment calculations, required statutory disclaimers, and diligent effort forms. 

For the selected policies under review, the following documentation must be provided: 

  • Complete policy declaration page 
  • Diligent Effort forms 
  • Endorsements 
  • Policy face or front page 
  • Invoices 
  • Inspection report or invoice (if applicable)
  • Membership agreement (if applicable)
  • Any other relevant supporting documentation 

For more details on preparing for a Compliance Review, refer to the Compliance Review checklist.
