SLIP Tips

How do I create my SLIP user account?

SLIP user profiles are created and maintained by your licensee’s SLIP administrator. SLIP licensee administrators are created by the Surplus Line Association of Oregon. If you are a licensee that does not currently have an account, contact the SLA at oregonsla@oregonsla.org.
 

Tips For Producing Successful Filings

  1. Information reported in the SLIP record must appear on, and match, information shown on the uploaded support documentation.
  2. Do not upload more than one or two pages of support documentation; upload ONLY pages that show the information being reported in the SLIP record.
  3. For filing purposes, the support documentation can be manually corrected before upload to SLIP.
  4. Make sure the support documentation lists only ONE “policy number”.
  5. When entering a lengthy insured name into the SLIP record, simply continue to type until the field is full.
  6. Insurer name as shown on the support documentation must be a 100% exact match of the insurer name as shown on the State of Oregon’s eligible surplus line insurers listing; insurer names on the support documentation cannot be abbreviated, e.g. “Co.” vs. “Company”, and cannot use “and” instead of “&” (and vice-versa).
  7. Coverage type must be shown on the support documentation and must match what is reported in the SLIP record.
  8. If the support document lists multiple fees with different names, e.g. "carrier fee", "broker fee", or "policy administration fee", each is treated as a separate fee; all must be reported in the SLIP record and be included in tax calculation.
  9. State Tax, Fire Marshal Tax, and the Surplus Line Service Charge (SLSC) shown on the support documentation cannot be labelled as a fee.
  10. Labels on the support documentation must accurately describe the corresponding dollar amount, e.g. “Total Premium” should reference ONLY premium and cannot also include other amounts such as fees, taxes, and/or SLSC.
