B - Blanket Limit

Total Limit

Occurrence limit amount

For Workers' Compensation policies, terms are entered in the layer record, not on locations. For statutory coverage with no deductible or retention, no layer is required (loss is unlimited). If a deductible applies, include a layer record, and be sure that the Total Limit is a large value. For excess policies, enter the appropriate limit. If statutory coverage applies above one excess layer, another layer record should be included.

For detailed information about the effects that each of the layer limit types has on the total limit and other related layer fields, see Touchstone Limit Fields for Layers.

•       Required if the limit type is one of the following:

•       B - Blanket Amount

•       E - Excess Limit

•       Defaults to a value in the Touchstone user interface if the limit type is E - Excess Limit

•       Must be blank (0) if the limit type is N - No limit

•       Must be a numeric value between 0 and 999999999999999, inclusive

•       Must be a numeric value between 1 and 999999999999999, inclusive, if the limit type is E - Excess Limit

Participation Limit

Occurrence participation limit

For excess policies, this field represents the gross limit for the insurer's participation in this layer, before ceded reinsurance if any. For example, if the insurer signs 4% of 100 million excess of 5 million, then the gross limit is 4 million.

For detailed information about the effects that each of the layer limit types has on the participation limit and other related layer fields, see Touchstone Limit Fields for Layers.

•       Required if the limit type is E - Excess Limit

•       Defaults to a value in the Touchstone user interface if the limit type is E - Excess Limit

•       Must be blank (1) if the limit type is one of the following:

•       B - Blanket Amount

•       N - No limit

•       Cannot be greater than the total limit if the limit type is not N - No limit

•       Must be a numeric value between 0 and 999999999999999, inclusive

Attachment Point

Attachment point, which is the amount of original risk above which your limit attaches

You can enter deductibles separately or include deductibles as part of the attachment point with a $0 deductible used.
