Frequently Asked Questions

Are declinations required for Tennessee policies?

Tennessee requires that declinations are reported for every new business or renewal policy. In 2019 the Tennessee DCI made an update to the declination requirement that depending on the type of coverage, the minimum number of declinations is either one or three. The SLAS 2019-01 Bulletin: Tennessee Declination Requirements outlines the minimum declination requirements by coverage.

To add an additional declination, click the Add Insurer link at the top of the Declinations box. To delete a declination, click the ‘X’ to the right of the insurer declination. Please know the system will not allow you to report a policy if the minimum required declination is not included. The insurer declination information for all policies should be retained by the surplus lines agent to be reviewed by the State of Tennessee Department of Commerce and Insurance, upon request.

I am filing a Tennessee policy for an Exempt Commercial Purchaser. What do I enter for the declination information?

When entering a policy for a Tennessee Exempt Commercial Purchaser, you will need to enter the following information for all three required declinations:

  • Insurer Name: Exempt Commercial Purchaser
  • NAIC #: 00000
  • This information is only needed when entering new business or renewal transactions
