Supplemental Auto Call – Membership Fee (MBR) Call

Each year on November 15th, NISS sends the Residual Market Participation Quota Determination to AIPSO on behalf of our member companies. Companies that write voluntary automobile policies are required to write a proportional number of residual market automobile policies, and AIPSO determines each company’s quota based on the data NISS sends.

In order to provide AIPSO the correct amount of premium for each company, we may have to take into account premiums that are included on your annual statement as automobile but may not be reported in the data submission to NISS. For this reason, the Membership Fee (MBR) Call is collected. The MBR Call includes membership or policy fee data with premiums separated between drivers under 25 years of age and senior citizen drivers. These fees can also be reported in the automobile data submission. If they are excluded from the data submission however, then the fee amounts need to be reported with the MBR Call.

By either including the membership fees in the data submission or reporting the amounts on the MBR Call, we can ensure that we are sending AIPSO the correct premium amounts. This will also ensure that each company is receiving the proper credit for writing drivers under 25 years of age and senior citizen drivers, and that they receive the correct number of assignments from the quota determination.
