How to File the CRF
Insurers are to report Hurricane Ian claims data using the 2022 CRF.
The fillable 2022 CRF template must be downloaded within your filing in IRFS here. A sample of the template is available below.
- Each insurer must submit its CRF on an individual insurer basis only.
- If an insurer has no policies in force in Florida for the required lines, the insurer must submit a “No Data” filing.
- If the insurer has policies in force in Florida for the required lines of business but no claims, the insurer must submit a “No Data” filing.
- “No Data” filings are only required once. However, a company reporting policies in force in Florida must submit "Data" filings once claims are received.
- Reporting is cumulative and must include all claims as of the reporting date.
- Each insurer must download a new template from your filing in IRFS. Previously downloaded templates will not work.
