Hail Insurance Short Date Cancellation

Hail Insurance
Short Date Cancellation

Purpose

  • Producers with Hail Insurance may cancel their coverage and receive a refund of a portion or all of their hail premium, as set forth in the Short Date Cancellation Table (on opposite side). This provision allows producers to cancel Hail Insurance for acres that suffer an early season loss due to conditions that makes the crop non-viable, such as frost or excess moisture.

Eligibility

Annual Application

  • Producers who make an annual Hail Insurance application may cancel their Hail Insurance for any reason, provided no hail losses were paid on these acres and the crop was not harvested or put to an alternate use.

Continuous Hail Insurance Option (CHIO)

  • Producers participating in CHIO can only cancel Hail Insurance if the acres are non-viable and have been appraised by MASC and subsequently destroyed.
  • Crops that are harvested or put to alternate use are not eligible for a short date cancellation.
  • Acres destroyed as part of a reseed or Stage 1 claim (prior to June 20) are not charged premiums under CHIO unless there was a payable hail claim prior to destruction.

Other Program Information

  • In order to receive a Hail Insurance indemnity, there must be sufficient crop production potential prior to the occurence of the loss.
  • If a viable crop is not present (total acres or a portion of the field), the insured should contact MASC as soon as possible to initiate the Hail Short Date Cancellation process.

Notification

  • Producers must notify MASC in writing (in person, by fax or by mail) or online at myMASC.
  • It is important that written notification is provided as early as possible, as the premium earned increases on a daily basis.
    • If notification is mailed, the dated post mark will be used as the cancellation date.
    • If notification is given in person or by fax, the actual date of receipt will be used.
    • If notification is given online at myMASC, the actual date of submission will be used.
