Fortis/Hartford CUSIP Mapping Rules

Hartford Life (HAR/TT) is reinsuring the Fortis Benefits Insurance Company (FOR/TI) and will begin administering the Fortis Annuity business as of May 28, 2002.
To ensure a smooth transition, The Hartford has partnered with FAN Mail to plan the overall integration and support of FAN Mail downloads. Those FAN Mail users who currently receive both a Hartford and a Fortis download, or just the Fortis download, will continue to receive separate files using their existing System and Management codes; Fortis (FOR/TI) and Hartford Life (HAR/TT). CUSIP and Contract Numbers under Fortis will be changing with this conversion.
The CUSIP cross-reference will be available on the FAN Mail Web site on March 19, 2002. Upon conversion to the Hartford Life systems, the existing Fortis contract numbers will change. Fortis Contract numbers will be assigned a prefix of "36" with zeros added as needed to ensure that the total length of the number is 9 digits (e.g. Fortis contract number 123 would become 360000123). Post conversion, any new Fortis business that is issued will follow The Hartford standard contract numbering convention of 71*******.

There are several cases where one to many relationships will exist on the CUSIP cross-reference listing. Detailed below are the rules identified in those cases in which there was not a 1:1 relationship.

Products affected include Opportunity, Opportunity Plus, Federated Triple Crown, Income Preferred and Wells Fargo Passage. The specific funds impacted by a 1 to many relationship include the Fortis and Hartford DCA funds.
