Cancellation, Termination, or Canceled Workers Compensation Policy...
The act of terminating a worker's comp policy before its normal expiration date. The cancellation is often requested by the policyholder or by the corporate under certain circumstances..jpg)
When a policyholder asks that a worker compensation audit be canceled the particular process of cancellation is quite simple. The insurance firm or insurance entity will ask their policyholder to supply them with an invitation in writing. Most of the time this request is provided on a cancellation request form typically an Acord form provided by the policyholder's insurance broker or insurance firm. This form will indicate the policyholder's name, address, policy number, dates the policy are in force and a date and time of cancellation requested. This form also will require a signature of the policyholder alongside a witness of their signature and a signature of the manufacturing insurance broker or broker alongside a date the form was completed. Once this has been completed the shape is going to be sent to the insurance firm for processing. In order to properly cancel a worker's compensation policy this process must be followed...really it makes sense ...the policyholder must notify their insurance firm of their desire to cancel the policy, otherwise, the policy, if it's purchased, continues effective.
The insurance company may terminate a worker's compensation policy only according to very specific rules as outlined by the state regulators in the state where they conduct business. For example, an insurance firm may cancel a workers comp policy if the policyholder has stopped making his payments. This is called canceled for non-payment of premium. However, in order to do so, the company will have to follow the rules that apply to cancel a policy for non-pay. These rules may include a selected notice method and period of time that has got to tend to the policyholder like a ten, 15 or 30-day notice. The method of the notification may also be specific such as requiring the insurance company to notify the policyholder by certified mail of such an action. These rules will vary from state to state. You can ask the state department of insurance for every state to find out more about the principles they need to follow for cancellation.
And finally, there's the question of how the audit process is going to be handled when a worker's comp policy is canceled. You should always ask the workers comp policy for answers to the present question. In general, the essential rules still apply; a worker's comp policy is an auditable policy and therefore the final premium isn't determined until the policy has ended which means some method is going to be wont to make that determination. If the policy is canceled by the policyholder the ultimate premium will normally be calculated on a brief rate basis, meaning the insurance firm will use its short-rate cancellation table and procedure. (this will cost the policyholder more) When a policy is canceled by the insurance firm the ultimate premium is going to be calculated on a pro-rata basis and no short-rate will apply. As far because the audit process goes, the wording during a standard work comp policy leaves that hospitable the insurance firm. When examined, you will find they use words like "we may" conduct audits...etc.etc...this would lead you to believe the audit process is one up to the corporate and its internal rules.
