Checklists for Life and Health Insurance Products

The Checklists are intended to expedite the Life & Health Division’s overall review time of new form filings. The Checklists serve as basic guides to assist the industry in preparation of new form filings prior to submission. The checklists are not a substitute for Departmental review. All forms must comply with state insurance law.

Checklists are NOT required to be submitted with a product filing, but when completed correctly they frequently facilitate the review process.

Checklists are available for many types of insurance. If a specific type of insurance is not included, contact the Life & Health Division at the email below for further guidance.
