Current through Reg. 50, No. 138; July 16, 2024
(1) Except for cancellation for nonpayment of
				premium or failure to pay deductible, or cancellation or non-renewal at the
				request of the insured, an insurer shall not cancel or non-renew any workers'
				compensation insurance policy, contract of insurance, or renewal until at least
				30 days have elapsed after the insurer has electronically filed a cancellation
				or non-renewal with the Division, either directly or through a third party
				vendor. When an insurer files an electronic cancellation or non-renewal
				directly with the Division for any reason other than non-payment of premium or
				failure to pay deductible or when cancellation or non-renewal is requested by
				the insured, the 30-day notice period (Cancellation/Non-Renewal Effective Date)
				shall be calculated from the first day following the date on which the
				electronic cancellation or non-renewal was filed with the Division. If the
				insurer files an electronic cancellation or non-renewal through a third party
				vendor for any reason other than non-payment of premium or failure to pay
				deductible, or when cancellation or non-renewal is requested by the insured,
				the 30-day notice period (Cancellation/Non-Renewal Effective Date) shall be
				calculated from the first day following the "Jurisdiction Designee Received
				Date".

(a) For any workers' compensation insurance
				policy, contract of insurance, or renewal with a policy effective date prior to
				October 1, 2003, an insurer shall not cancel or non-renew the policy for
				non-payment of premium or failure to pay deductible until and unless 30 days
				have elapsed after the insurer has electronically filed a cancellation or
				non-renewal with the Division, either directly or through a third party vendor.
				When an insurer files an electronic cancellation or non-renewal directly with
				the Division, the 30-day notice period (Cancellation/Non-Renewal Effective
				Date) shall be calculated from the first day following the date on which the
				electronic cancellation or non-renewal was filed with the Division. If the
				insurer files an electronic cancellation or non-renewal through a third party
				vendor, the 30-day notice period (Cancellation/Non-Renewal Effective Date)
				shall be calculated from the first day following the "Jurisdiction Designee
				Received Date."
(b) For any
				workers' compensation insurance policy, contract of insurance, or renewal with
				a policy effective date on or after October 1, 2003, an insurer shall not
				cancel or non-renew the policy for non-payment of premium or failure to pay
				deductible until and unless the insurer has mailed notification of the
				cancellation or non-renewal to the employer at least 10 days prior to the
				effective date of the cancellation or non-renewal. Notification to the Division
				is not required to cancel or non-renew a workers' compensation insurance
				policy, contract of insurance, or renewal for non-payment of premium or failure
				to pay deductible. However, the insurer shall advise the Division of the
				cancellation or non-renewal due to non-payment of premium or failure to pay
				deductible in accordance with the electronic filing time periods for policy
				information set out in subsections
				 69L-56.210(5) and
