Edit Page Revision

S16 32 The Rate Departure Factor edit (part 3B) has been modified to reflect the new range of Rate Departure Factor Codes (650-999) which correspond to the increased rate deviations that were approved for 1998.

S20 40 The ZIP Code edit has been revised to edit by premium town code. That is, all records with Massachusetts’s premium town codes will only be edited against Massachusetts ZIP codes in C.A.R.’s ZIP code file. Records with out-of-state premium town codes (991-996 or 999) and invalid premium town codes will be edited against all U.S. ZIP codes in C.A.R.’s ZIP code file.

S24 48 The Coverage edit (part 1) has been updated to clarify that coverage 087 is valid for: subline 628, all policy effective years, and subline 618, policy effective years 1993 and subsequent. The edit had previously stated this in two separate sections by year.

S39 72 The Catastrophe Code edit has been updated to include Catastrophe Code 54 assigned by PCS for the Wind, Hail, and Tornadoes, for May 30, - June 1, 1998 and Catastrophe Code 58 assigned by PCS for the Wind, Hail, Tornadoes, and flooding for June 11, - June 13, 1998.

This notification is being forwarded to an individual in each company’s Statistical Department. Please bring these changes to the attention of all affected parties.

If you have any questions concerning these revisions or request additional copies, please contact the Business Analysis Department at (617) 338-4000.
