The Tennessee Department of Commerce & Insurance (TDCI) has added a new row to the Mergers table on its Insurance Activities Monthly Update. The page, current as of Sept. 30, 2026, lists Farmers Mutual Insurance Company of Giles County (NAIC 15974) as the non-surviving company and East Tennessee Mutual Insurance Company (NAIC 13651) as the surviving company, with a date of 9/29/2026. The row carries an asterisk, which TDCI uses to mark a new record since the last update.
What the table shows
TDCI’s Mergers table has three parts for each row: the non-surviving company, the surviving company, and the date. The September entry joins earlier 2026 rows on the same table, including the April 1, 2026 mergers of Elips Life Insurance Company and Lumico Life Insurance Company into Wilcac Life Insurance Company.
| Non-surviving company | NAIC # | Surviving company | NAIC # | Date |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Farmers Mutual Insurance Company of Giles County | 15974 | East Tennessee Mutual Insurance Company | 13651 | 9/29/2026* |
The table records the merger, its date, and the two companies. It does not describe policy terms, rates, or how existing policies will be handled, so those answers come from the company’s own notices and your policy documents.
If you have a policy with either company
If your declarations page names either company, a few practical steps help:
- Watch your mail and email. Keep any notice about the merger with your policy records. It may explain billing, renewal, and claims contacts.
- Write down your policy number and agent. If you need to file a claim during a transition, those two details save time.
- Check your next renewal. When it arrives, compare the declarations page with the one you have now: named insured, property address, dwelling limit, deductibles, and endorsements.
- Ask questions early. TDCI lists 615-741-2218 or 1-800-342-4029 for questions about an insurance policy.
If something goes wrong
TDCI says consumers who believe they were wrongfully denied a claim, or who have another issue with their agent or company, can file a complaint with Consumer Insurance Services online or by mail or fax. The policy must have been written in Tennessee.
