Coverage / Class Code usage for API (Automated) filers

Aug 21, 2023 | Procedural Updates

Beginning with the September 2023 release, all rules for coverage and class code will be enforced in SMART. You will encounter an error / tag when submitting a filing with a coverage code not “in a relationship” with a specific class code.  For example, submitting a residential coverage code such as “Homeowners” with a commercial class code such as “Restaurants”.  The September 2023 release is scheduled for Friday, October 6, 2023, allowing time for necessary corrections. For assistance or to have your existing coverage/class code “mappings” reviewed, please contact Tech Support via email.

To provide an opportunity for testing and confirmation of codes, this feature will be available within the TEST Environment as part of the August 2023 release. Tentatively, the August release is slated for August 28th or August 29th. As the August release is finalized, a publication and global email notice will be sent to all SMART users with an active and unexpired User ID.

Please note that these coverage and class code rules are automatically applied with any manual SMART filings. No further changes to the manual coverage or class selection processes are required.
