  1. Policy & Procedure
  2. Appendix III/M-13 Handbook Index

Appendix III/M-13 Handbook Index

Appendix III/M-13 Handbook updates are periodically released by the RMA's Product Management, Product Analysis and Accounting Division, Data Quality Branch.

Although there are provisions for approved and draft versions of the Appendix III/M-13 for multiple years, either approved or draft versions for a particular year may or may not be available simultaneously.

Use this email address to comment on proposed changes to Appendix III/M13: Appendix III Comments.

Any new or proposed revisions are available for comment for a period of 14 calendar days. RMA generally will work with the AIP’s in an attempt to reach consensus in determining the most efficient means of implementing revisions both prior to and subsequent to the final release.

Appendix III documents for earlier reinsurance years may be found at Legacy Appendix III.
