The Delaware Department of Insurance has recently released Bulletin No. 141 regarding the timeline for filing and reviewing insurers’ rate filings. The key highlights are as follows:
- Extends the timeline for filing and reviewing insurers’ rate filing by requiring rate filings to be filed at least 60 days in advance of the proposed effective date.
- Authorizes the Commissioner to extend the timeframe to review the filing and postpone the effective date of the filing pending completion of the extended review.
- Sets forth the process for when the Commissioner proposes to deny a rate filing and require that a filing may not become effective until a final order is issued.
Please note the bulletin became effective upon signing on 8/31/2023. Please further note that this bulletin does not apply to workers’ compensation; Chapter 26 of Title 18, entitled “Workers’ Compensation Rating”, applies specifically to workers’ compensation rate filings.
