A 0% Tennessee Auto Filing Still Lets Drivers Move 12.300% — 11,285 Policies Are on That Book

The Tennessee Department of Commerce and Insurance publishes monthly automotive insurance policy rate-change information filed through the System for Electronic Rate and Form Filing. The table current as of June 2026 — last updated August 4, 2026, at 8:56 a.m. — lists MemberSelect Insurance Company under SERFF tracking number FABF-134779112. The disposition date is February 23, 2026. The overall rate impact is 0.000%. Individual impacts on that same row run from −1.000% to +12.300%. The listing shows 11,285 policies affected.

A 0.000% headline is not a freeze for every driver. It is a book-level result. Some policies on that book can move down 1.000%. Some can move up 12.300%. The filed individual range is not 0.000%.

This is not the live State Farm Mutual 0.000% filing, SERFF SFMA-134835034, which posted a −17.440% to +18.450% swing on 1,212,042 policies. MemberSelect is a different carrier, a different SERFF number, a different disposition date, and a book of 11,285 policies — not 1.2 million. It is not the 12.700% Shelter Mutual filing. It is not the 3.200% InsureMax filing, SERFF ASRN-135021651. It is not the 14.900% Berkley filing, SERFF BKON-134875200. This article is about FABF-134779112.

What did Tennessee post on SERFF tracking number FABF-134779112?

TDCI says it posts the monthly auto table “to help consumers better understand and compare rate changes among insurers.” The MemberSelect row is coded as 19.0001 Private Passenger Auto (PPA). MemberSelect Insurance Company carries NAIC company code 21229.

Those figures come from the live DataTable behind the public page. TDCI prints company name, NAIC code, SERFF tracking number, type of coverage, disposition date, overall rate impact, maximum, minimum, and policies affected.

Source: TDCI Monthly Auto Policy Rates, table current as of June 2026; live rows in the page DataTable JSON. Page last updated August 4, 2026, at 8:56 a.m. Figures copied from that JSON. No other percentages added.

Both carriers are named only because those rows are public on TDCI. The American States Preferred row is a 0.000% / 0.000% / 0.000% listing on 11,194 policies, disposition May 29, 2026 — the same disposition date as the live State Farm Mutual 0.000% row. That is a printed freeze on that book. MemberSelect is not. This article is about FABF-134779112.

Does a 0.000% overall rate impact mean nobody’s premium changed?

No. The overall figure is a book-level result. The same TDCI table prints a minimum and a maximum on every row. On the MemberSelect row those bounds are −1.000% and +12.300%.

Do not treat 0.000% as a household freeze. Do not treat 12.300% as a typical outcome. The table does not say how many of the 11,285 policies sit near the overall number, near the ceiling, or near the floor. A household can move the wrong direction from the headline and still sit inside the filed range.

The table does not print a household premium or a new-business versus renewal effective date. It prints a disposition date: 02/23/2026. The renewal offer prints the new premium. The current declarations page prints what is already in force. This article does not forecast what any reader will pay.

How is this different from the State Farm 0.000% filing already on this blog?

On August 19, 2026, this blog covered State Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance Company, SERFF SFMA-134835034, disposition May 29, 2026: 0.000% overall, −17.440% to +18.450%, on 1,212,042 policies, plus a Fire and Casualty companion row. That 0.000% story is a redistribution on a book of more than a million policies with an 18.450% ceiling. MemberSelect is 11,285 policies, a 12.300% ceiling, a −1.000% floor, and a February 23, 2026 disposition. Both overalls are 0.000%. The books are not the same.

On August 10, 2026, this blog covered a 12.700% increase posted for Shelter Mutual Insurance Company, effective April 21, 2026. Do not paste a 12.700% number onto a MemberSelect renewal. Do not paste a 12.300% maximum onto a Shelter renewal.

The State Farm article is A 0% Tennessee Auto Filing Still Moved Some Drivers 18% — 1.2 Million Policies Are on That Book. The Shelter article is A 12.7% Tennessee Auto Rate Increase Just Cleared the State Filing System. The InsureMax article is A 3.2% Tennessee Auto Filing Still Lets Drivers Move ±15% — 1,912 Policies Are on That Book. If a renewal notice mentions a percentage and no SERFF number, look the carrier up on the current TDCI table before assuming it is the 0.000% State Farm change, the 12.700% Shelter change, or this 0.000% MemberSelect change.

What do the filed minimum and maximum numbers mean on a renewal?

They are the individual-impact bounds TDCI printed for that SERFF row. They are not a promise that any one household will move to the maximum, or to the minimum, or land on 0.000%. They are the range shown for policies on that book.

A renewal offer is a new premium. A declarations page is the current contract summary: vehicles, coverages, limits, deductibles, listed drivers, and the premium that was in force. The comparison that matters this week is arithmetic, not a phone-script explanation that “the company filed 0%.”

If the renewal premium is different from the current premium, and the declarations page otherwise matches — same cars, same limits, same deductibles, same listed drivers — the percent change is the new premium minus the old premium, divided by the old premium. Do not round. Then read that percent against the filed minimum and maximum. For the MemberSelect book the printed bounds are −1.000% and +12.300%. A change inside the range is consistent with the filing. It is not proof that the filing is the only reason the premium moved. Territory, vehicles, drivers, and discounts can also move a number. The TDCI table does not assign a reason to a household.

If the company name on the declarations page is American States Preferred Insurance Company, use SERFF LBPM-134876214 on the same table: 0.000% overall, 0.000% minimum, 0.000% maximum, 11,194 policies, disposition 05/29/2026. That row is not this MemberSelect filing.

How can a Tennessee driver look this filing up?

Start on the public table. Open TDCI Monthly Auto Policy Rates. The page header says “As of June 2026.” Find MemberSelect Insurance Company and SERFF FABF-134779112. Read the overall, minimum, maximum, policies-affected, and disposition-date columns. Then find the American States Preferred row, SERFF LBPM-134876214, if that is the name on the declarations page.

To read the filing itself, use SERFF Filing Access for Tennessee. TDCI says certain rate and form filings are available there for public review. Saving or printing through SFA is free of cost. Printing at the public kiosk costs 50 cents per page. For an appointment, the portal lists (615) 741-2825 and [email protected].

What should a Tennessee driver actually do this week?

Do the paperwork, not the guesswork. The table is public. The renewal and the current declarations page are the two documents that matter this week.

  • Pull the current declarations page — the page, not a cropped phone photo of a premium total.
  • Pull the renewal offer for the same policy number.
  • Line them up: vehicles, any VIN that is printed, listed drivers, liability limits, comprehensive and collision deductibles, and the premium.
  • If the only material change is the premium, compute the percent change. Do not estimate. Do not round.
  • Open the TDCI monthly auto-rate table and find the company that issued the policy. For this MemberSelect book those printed numbers are −1.000%, 0.000%, and +12.300%.
  • If the company name on the declarations page is American States Preferred Insurance Company, use SERFF LBPM-134876214: 0.000%, 0.000%, and 0.000%.
  • If the percent change sits inside the filed range, treat the filing as one possible explanation, not the only one.
  • If the percent change sits outside the filed minimum and maximum, write down both premiums, the exact percent, SERFF FABF-134779112, and the February 23, 2026 disposition date. Then use the TDCI complaint path below.
  • Compare the current offer with other quotes. A free policy review or quote is available from All Seasons Insurance Group at asigtn.com/get-a-quote or 865-263-1400. Practical coverage questions after a renewal sit in our Knoxville liability and deductible guide.

What if a renewal change does not match the filed range?

TDCI Consumer Insurance Services exists to educate consumers and mediate insurance-related disputes. Consumers who have an issue with their insurance company can file a complaint on the online insurance complaint form, or print the form and mail or fax it. The policy must have been written in Tennessee. Mail goes to Consumer Insurance Services, 500 James Robertson Parkway, 10th Floor, Nashville, TN 37243. Questions: 615-741-2218 or 1-800-342-4029.

Bring the two premiums, the percent change, the declarations page, the renewal offer, and SERFF FABF-134779112 — or LBPM-134876214 if the declarations page names American States Preferred Insurance Company. Do not send an AI-generated summary as the complaint. TDCI warns that AI tools can generate inaccurate information about insurance topics and that incorrect AI material can slow a complaint because the Division has to fact-check it.

What does a 0.000% filing on 11,285 policies actually tell a driver?

It tells you the carrier filed a book-level result of 0.000% and a household-level range that is not 0.000%. The state posted that fact on a consumer page built so people can compare rate changes among insurers. It does not tell you what one household will pay. It does not promise coverage, eligibility, or price.

It tells you 11,285 policies are on the MemberSelect row, NAIC 21229, and that the printed individual bounds are −1.000% and +12.300%. That is a smaller book than the State Farm Mutual 0.000% row and a larger book than Berkley’s 465-policy 14.900% row. A 0% headline that can still move a driver 12.300% is the story. Read the three percentages as they were printed. Then put this week’s renewal next to the current declarations page.

Seasons change. So should your coverage.

All Seasons Insurance Group can sit a current declarations page next to a renewal offer and walk the filed minimum, overall, and maximum.
