Hartford Insurance Company of the Southeast and Hartford Accident and Indemnity Company have filed a rules-only update in Florida to formally close both companies to new business, transitioning them to renewal-only status. The filing was submitted on January 12, 2026, with an effective date of January 15, 2026.

The submission notes that other Hartford entities remain active in the Florida market, including Hartford Insurance Company of the Midwest and Hartford Casualty Insurance Company, which appear to remain open for new business. The filing also references AARP in the context of membership requirements tied to other Hartford programs that continue to write new policies.

Historically, the affected business was written through independent agents and consumer direct channels. The move signals a shift in Florida strategy or risk appetite at the company level rather than a market-wide exit by Hartford.
