- 69O-163.009: Determination of Reasonableness of Benefits in Relation to Premium Charge
- 69O-163.011: Credit Disability Insurance Rates
Credit Life and Credit Disability Insurance is being amended to address the statutory changes contained in House Bill 343, which the Governor approved on May 28, 2008. The bill removed the $50,000 for credit life, but the 10-year limit contained in Section 627.681, Florida Statutes. Similarly, the bill removed the 10-year limit for credit disability, but did not remove the $50,000 limit contained in Section 627.679, Florida Statutes.
The stipulation that a term of insurance shall not exceed 10 years subject to certain restrictions under the term and evidence of credit life insurance is now gone. The revised Rule effectuates a 10-year cap for credit life insurance uniformly from the date of issue.
Also, the Rule extinguishes the requirement of providing the lesser of 60 monthly payments or the number of monthly payments for the full term of the loan.
Date: Tuesday, September 30
Time: 1:30 p.m.
