DCRB Filing No. 1603 – December 1, 2016 Rate and Loss Cost Filing

On August 2, 2016, the DCRB submitted a residual market rate and voluntary market loss cost filing to the Delaware Department of Insurance. That filing, designated as DCRB Filing No. 1603, proposed revisions to residual market rates, voluntary market loss costs and related rating values effective December 1, 2016.

Subsequently, the DCRB amended the filing based on an agreement with the Delaware Ratepayer Advocate and the Department of Insurance.  The amended filing was approved on October 14, 2016.

A complete list of the proposals and supporting information contained in both the DCRB’s original December 1, 2016 rate and loss cost filing, as well as the amended filing, appears below. Clicking on each listed item will allow you to review and/or download the filing materials as needed.

Note that all original exhibits that were replaced in the amended filing have a watermark indicating they have been superseded.
