I am not required to fill out an official form or use a particular software platform to submit my request per NJSA 47:1A-6(f), which states that an email from a requestor including all of the information required on the adopted form shall suffice in place of a completed form as a valid government record request.

I HAVE NOT been convicted of any indictable offense under the laws of New Jersey, any other state, or the United States.

I WILL NOT use the requested government records for a commercial purpose.

I AM NOT seeking records in connection with a legal proceeding.

Pursuant to the New Jersey Open Public Records Act and the common law right of access, I request copies of records maintained by the New Jersey Department of Banking and Insurance relating to a complaint submitted through the NAIC State Based Systems (SBS) consumer complaint portal from January 1, 2020 to the present.

Specifically, I request:

All responses, correspondence, or submissions provided by Nationwide Insurance regarding the complaint.
