Use of Et Al. and Etc. in the Filing Description

The Best Practices Checklist has been updated recently to address the use of ?et al.? and ?etc.? in Compact Filing Descriptions.

Forms used with a new filing submission, or to be replaced by a new filing submission, should be identified completely and with specificity. Broad and vague terms like ?et al.? and ?etc.? in the Filing Description or Product Name fields can lead to questions as to whether the filing company has identified all components submitted for approval or fully described how the product will be used.

If you have any questions about completing the Filing Description in your Compact filing, or about filing with the Insurance Compact in general, please contact the Insurance Compact Office.
