As a reminder, enhancements to the FSLSO SLIP+ system related to the Emergency Management Preparedness and Assistance (EMPA) surcharge went into effect on October 1, 2025.
A new feature now allows users to designate a policy as EMPA exempt when part of a multi-insurer (layered) policy, but only when the surcharge has already been applied to another insurer's policy within that same structure.
Please note that this exemption should be used only in qualifying cases. Misuse of this feature may result in investigation or referral to the Florida Department of Financial Services, in accordance with Florida Statute 252.372.
Detailed filing and batch documentation, including XML and CSV layout updates, are available on the SLIP+ Batch Filing page and in the Help section within SLIP+.
For questions, contact Agent Services at [email protected] or 800-562-4496 (option 1).
