Captive Filing Deadline Extended to July 31, 2020

In coordination with the NAIC and other states, Commissioner Clark has issued a Bulletin that provides for filing deadline extensions for most insurance company filings for insurers filing on the NAIC blank.

In tandem with this, we are granting a 60-day extension for all captive audits and SAO (statements of actuarial opinion) for Kentucky domestic captives. To be clear, the June 1 deadline for captive audit filings is moved to July 31, 2020 (Friday).

This action is taken pursuant to the State of Emergency Executive Order 2020-220 and other Executive Orders issued by Governor Beshear in response to the COVID-19 public health crisis, and all other applicable law.

If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to e-mail or call:

KY DOI confirms regulatory filing dates

The due date of the Statutory Annual Statement is still MARCH 1, 20XX regardless of that date falling on a Saturday in 20XX. The DOI requires a hard copy of the annual statement, so it must be postmarked by that date.

The annual audit and actuarial certification filings are due on or before JUNE 1, 20XX for calendar year captives, regardless of that date falling on a Sunday in 20XX. These filings may be submitted electronically, so the filing will be considered on time if received by that date. Please e-mail them to: russell.coy@ky.gov

Also, the captive managers will need to use the usernames and passwords that were assigned to them in Dec. The DOI has instructions on their Ky Annual Filing document that is on The DOI website. The last page of the instructions explain everything.

Most people are now using the e-payment method. However, if not, they need to “opt out” if they are going to pay by an actual paper check and they need to submit it with the check remittance form (they need to submit the form with their payment and it needs to be at the KY DOI by the deadline).

See below:

Kentucky Annual Filing Instructions

When the payment is noted as pending, it will be your responsibility to monitor this transaction by utilizing eServices' View Transaction History option to verify that payment's status changes from Pending Verification to Complete. This change will only occur when the payment is electronically received by The DOI.

An additional OPT OUT MAILING button has been added to accommodate any companies that do not have electronic payment capabilities. If the OPT OUT MAILING is selected, a check remittance form will be populated to be printed and included with your payment. Please note, if you choose this OPT OUT MAILING option, you are acknowledging, as of the transaction date, you will be sending the Department payment prior to March 1, 20XX. You are also agreeing that if the payment is not received by our deadline, you are aware and consent to a monetary penalty being applied immediately.

By CYRIL TUOHY, managing editor of Risk & Insurance®

At the annual meeting of the Captive Insurance Companies Association in Indian Wells, Calif., last March, it was hard to avoid all the gloom about how delays in the hardening of rates in the traditional market were slowing new captive formations.

US Captive, April 2009
US Captives looks at what is fuelling the impressive growth in the number of captives in the Bluegrass State.

Since establishing its first captive in 2002, the State of Kentucky has come a long way. Kentucky now has 76 licensed captives. Nine joined its market in the first three months of this year, following on from the 31 that were licensed in the state in 2008. Even in the current economic downturn, there are signs of rate hardening, particularly in reinsurance.
