ACORD will reintroduce its monoline homeowner application form (ACORD 80) this October. The form was withdrawn from the ACORD Forms Library in October 2008 and replaced for personal residential applications by the ACORD 88: Personal Insurance Application - Applicant Information Section, the ACORD 89: Personal Insurance Application - Residential Section, and their supplements. However, in response to requests from member companies and agencies, ACORD says it has decided to return the ACORD 80 to the forms library. After October 2009, ACORD members can choose to use the ACORD 80 or the ACORD 88 and 89 along with the appropriate supplements. The ACORD 80 is a monoline form used specifically for homeowners applications. The ACORD 88 and 89 support multiple personal lines such as personal residential, personal auto, personal umbrella, personal inland marine, and personal watercraft.
