Simply download an RSS reader, click on the RSS icon on the NAIC's page, copy the URL, and then paste the URL to your RSS reader. Some browsers have a built-in RSS reader and allow you to simply click "Subscribe" to receive updates from that page. Once your RSS is set up, the updates will start flowing directly to you.

Using NAIC/NIPR Web sites and Secure Applications

NAIC Help Desk Support
The NAIC Help Desk provides support for all users of NAIC/NIPR Web sites and secure applications and systems.  However, we may be limited to the recommendations and requirements listed below when attempting to reproduce any issues reported.  We may also be limited in our ability to support Beta or Release Candidate browser software.

NAIC/NIPR Web Sites
The NAIC/NIPR does not endorse or require the use of any specific internet browser. However, the Web sites are tested for reliability and compatibility using Microsoft Internet Explorer (version 7 and 8) and Mozilla Firefox (versions 8.x and 9.x). Using these browsers will ensure that Web site content is delivered as intended.

Other browser versions and OS platforms may have received some testing and are not excluded as options for viewing the Web sites but have not been thoroughly evaluated for compatibility—using them may yield unintended viewing results.

Browser Settings
Regardless of which browser or operating system is used, JavaScript and Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) should be enabled for the best results.  These features add improved usability, and help to organize the content in an accessible manner.

Section 508 Guidance
The NAIC/NIPR works to maintain Web sites that are accessible to all individuals—with or without disabilities. While the NAIC is not subject to Section 508 Amendment to the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, we use it to guide page design on NAIC/NIPR Web sites.

If you have difficulty accessing information on the NAIC/NIPR Web sites, please contact webpost@naic.org and provide your contact information, the URL (web address) of the content you are trying to access and the problem you are experiencing.  We will attempt to provide the information you're seeking as well as amend the problem.

Be aware that links to information created and maintained by other public and/or private organizations are used throughout the NAIC/NIPR Web sites. The NAIC/NIPR provides these links for your convenience but can not guarantee the accuracy of content or security of these sites. When you select a link to an outside Web site, you are leaving the NAIC/NIPR Web sites and are subject to the privacy and security policies of the linked Web site.

Recommended Browsers for NAIC/NIPR Secure Applications
NAIC/NIPR developed applications and systems have been developed and tested using the browsers listed in the "Secure Browser Recommendations" section above.

Most NAIC/NIPR applications are written using JavaScript 1.2 or higher and use cookies; consequently, these applications perform optimally with browsers configured as follows:

• JavaScript 1.2 or higher enabled

• Pop-up blockers disabled (many NAIC/NIPR applications use popup windows and require popup blockers to allow popup windows to be displayed)
• SSL 3.0 enabled

Most NAIC/NIPR applications perform optimally under Microsoft Internet Explorer version 7 and version 8, and under the two most current major versions of Firefox (i.e., 8.x and 9.x).

Some NAIC/NIPR applications may not support all of the recommended browsers due to special application needs and/or possible software issues in browsers. The State Based Systems (SBS) application must use version 7 or version 8 of Microsoft Internet Explorer.
