Status report on compliance with the
Terrorism Risk Insurance Act of 2002

Regarding "certified" commercial losses
For an act of terrorism to be certified by the U.S. Secretary of the Treasury (and thus trigger coverage under the federal Terrorism Reinsurance Program), it must cause more than $5 million in losses and be inspired, directed, and/or carried out on behalf of a foreign person or interest.

IN FORCE BUSINESS  - Use the endorsements and rating information shown below only when the insured accepts the offer of coverage for certified terrorism loss.

Company action:

UPDATE:


As part of their terrorism specific requirements, California is requiring that a rate filing be made any time that a certified terrorism form filing is submitted. Even if the company intends not to charge anything, the California Department of Insurance (CDI) has indicated a rate filing still must be made to justify not making a charge.

This information was originally not published by the state. AAIS became aware of it only after our filings were submitted. These requirements are now published.

In addition to what is in CA Bulletin 2002-9, companies should follow the additional filing guidelines located on the CDI website at: http://www.insurance.ca.gov/docs/FS-Insurer.htm
Endorsements:

Companies affilitated for forms can adopt these endorsements by following the California filing requirements for Category 2 forms.

All companies that adopt these endorsements must submit a reference filing which establishes an effective date and includes the necessary completed California state filing forms. When submitting a filing, refer to the AAIS filing number and the CDI Number.

Rules

All companies affiliated for rules must establish their own effective date and make a reference filing with the California Insurance Department in order to adopt the AAIS terrorism supplement pages.

All manual rule filings should include the required California state filing forms.

Expedited Filing Transmittal

Not applicable.

Regarding "non-certified" commercial losses
Non-certified terrorism losses are all commercial losses from acts of terrorism that are not certified as such by the Secretary of the Treasury, and thus not covered by the federal reinsurance program. These include, but are not necessarily limited to, acts inspired, directed, and/or carried out by domestic U.S. groups or individuals.
