Building Trust Through Transparency

The National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) is committed to transparency in both its budgeting process and overall operations.

The annual budget process is an open and deliberative process among the NAIC members and members of the insurance industry. NAIC budgets have historically offered a high level of disclosure for a nonprofit budget. Throughout the development of the NAIC's budget, there are numerous and detailed reviews by all levels of management, the NAIC Officers, the NAIC Executive (EX) Committee, and the Internal Administration (EX1) Subcommittee. As stated in Article IV of the NAIC Bylaws, the budget is released to the public for comment before final consideration and adoption.

2025 Budget

The NAIC 2025 budget was approved on Dec. 18, 2024, following months of development by NAIC officers, the NAIC Internal Administration (EX1) Subcommittee, and the NAIC Executive (EX) Committee, as well as input from NAIC’s Chief Executive Officer and other executive staff.

“Ensuring the financial stability and sustainability of our regulatory framework is vital for protecting consumers and fostering innovation,” said Jon Godfread, NAIC President-Elect and North Dakota Insurance Commissioner. “As we navigate the complexities of evolving regulations and advancements in technology, the NAIC’s 2025 budget reflects our commitment to state-based regulation by strategically allocating resources to support robust oversight, continue to enhance our technological infrastructure, and provide an avenue for responsive, adaptable regulations. Funding for these efforts is essential to maintaining the integrity of our insurance markets and ensuring that state regulators have the modern tools they need to effectively serve their communities, uphold the public trust, and protect consumers.”

The NAIC's 2025 budget includes total revenues (including investment income) of $167.0 million and total expenses of $173.6 million, which represents a 6.2% increase in revenues and an 8.8% increase in expenses from the 2024 budget.

The proposed 2025 budget includes eight fiscal impact statements (fiscals):

This fiscal is to continue funding a multi-year initiative to improve the SERFF platform. In 2025, life and property/casualty users will move into the platform. This request includes the addition of two headcount.

This fiscal includes the addition of five technical staff to support NAIC’s Capital Markets and Investment Analysis Office’s immediate and long-term development needs. 

This fiscal continues the development of the enterprise data platform. This phase will build upon previous phases which delivered a cloud-based platform populated with financial and regulatory data. This fiscal includes the addition of one headcount for development and ongoing system maintenance. 

This fiscal is responding to a Valuation of Securities (E) Task Force initiative to maintain credit assessments for various insurer-owned securities, specifically CLOs. This fiscal includes the addition of one headcount for analytical support.

This fiscal is to sponsor an upcoming long-term care insurance study with the Society of Actuaries. NAIC members will receive training as well as the study results from assisting with the expense of this study.

This fiscal is to secure funding for a proof-of-concept that will explore a third-party vendor solution to house and manage FDR’s technical infrastructure. This will demonstrate the vendor’s capabilities and potential benefits from utilizing their technology which will modernize the FDR platform.

This fiscal requests funding for a customer relationship management (CRM) system to improve member engagement and service quality. This will dramatically improve NAIC’s interactions with its members and data sharing by centralizing certain information and communications.

Recognizing the need for additional operational support, this fiscal includes the addition of eight headcount in a variety of areas including technology, regulatory services, and operations.
