Washington Moves to Establish Standards for CCRC Actuarial Reviews

Washington — Continuing care retirement community actuarial reviews (R 2026-07): We are considering rules to establish standards for the review of actuarial analyses submitted by continuing care retirement communities (CCRCs) that issue “type A” or “life care” contracts. The rule may also clarify additional elements of the actuarial review process, including communications between the Office of the Insurance Commissioner (OIC) and the CCRC.

Second Substitute House Bill 2384 passed during the 2026 legislative session. The bill requires the OIC to review actuarial analyses submitted by CCRCs, communicate the results of the review, and administer appeals. Section 6 of the bill grants the commissioner general rulemaking authority to implement the new law.

The comment period for this rule began on August 19, 2026, at 8 a.m. and will close at 11:59 p.m. on September 2, 2026. Please send comments to rulescoordinator@oic.wa.gov.
