What's the difference between cancellation and nonrenewal? (2024)
There is a big difference between an insurance company canceling a policy and choosing not to renew it. Insurance companies cannot cancel a policy that has been in force for more than 60 days except when:
You fail to pay the premium
You have committed fraud or made serious misrepresentations on your application.
Nonrenewal is a different matter. Either you or your insurance company can decide not to renew the policy when it expires. Depending on the state you live in, your insurance company must give you a certain number of days' notice and explain the reason for not renewing before it drops your policy. If you think the reason is unfair or want a further explanation, call the insurance company's consumer affairs division. If you don't get a satisfactory explanation, call your state insurance department.
The company may have decided to drop that particular line of insurance or to write fewer policies where you live, so the nonrenewal decision may not be because of something you did. On the other hand, if you did do something that raised the insurance company's risk considerably, like committing fraud, the premium may rise or you may not have your policy renewed.
If your insurance company did not renew your policy, you will not necessarily be charged a higher premium at another insurance company.
Insurers may cancel a policy for those reasons or may instead decide not to renew your policy at the end of the policy's term. Nonrenewal happens when your insurance company discontinues your policy at the end of the coverage period. A non-renewal can happen through no fault of your own.
What is a Rescission Notice? A rescission is different than a claim denial or a policy termination. When an insurance company rescinds a policy, they are declaring that the policy, in effect, never existed.
Districts often inquire about the difference between nonrenewal and termination of a contract. Contract nonrenewal can only occur at the conclusion of the last year of a term contract. A good cause termination occurs mid-contract.
Thank you for notifying me regarding the contract extension. I appreciate your transparency and the opportunity I've had to contribute to the [Project/Company Name] team. While I'm disappointed that my contract won't be extended, I understand that decisions like these are part of the business landscape.
