An agent's appointment may be terminated for a number of reasons. The most common reason is that the agent has failed to meet the requirements set forth by the insurer. In some cases, an agent may be terminated if they are found to be engaging in fraudulent activities. Regardless of the reason, when an agent's appointment is terminated, the insurer must notify the agent in writing. The notice must include the specific reason for the termination and any steps that the agent can take to appeal the decision.
