Who regulates insurance in Mississippi

You can use it to confirm that an agent or company is licensed, look up complaint records and file a complaint. The National Association of Insurance Commissioners keeps a directory of state insurance departments (opens in a new tab).
Before you buy in Mississippi
- Confirm the agent is licensed in Mississippi.

- Ask whether the premium is fixed and whether the death benefit can ever decrease.
- Ask whether the policy has a waiting period. Here is how graded benefits work.
- Read the policy when it arrives and keep a copy where your beneficiary can find it.
