California Department of Insurance Requests Insurers to Submit Rate Decrease Application Filings

Posted on September 15, 2010 by Robert Hogeboom

The California Department of Insurance (CDI) Rate Regulation Division has recently issued a first round of letters to insurers requesting that they submit rate decrease applications. All Proposition 103 lines are affected. 

Because many insurers have not recently filed rate applications, the California Rate Division suspects that due to a trend of lower loss ratios, that many insurers may be charging excessive rates.

The CDI is requesting insurers to submit rate filings and advise them of the time frame to submit the filing and threatens that if the insurer does not comply, the CDI will issue an Order to Show Cause or a mandatory request for the filing.

We have questioned the CDI's authority to mandate the submission of rate application filings.
