Why use Equinox for NFIP Cancellation Requests?

Equinox provides a streamlined process for submitting NFIP cancellation requests directly within a specific policy. Since the platform already contains the policy details, agents only need to choose the applicable cancellation reason code from a predefined list, upload all required supporting documents, and complete the cancellation request form with the necessary signatures.

By associating the documents and form directly with the policy, the system ensures that all relevant information is readily accessible for review and processing.

Create a Cancellation Request using Equinox

Agents should verify that the selected reason code matches the circumstances of the cancellation and that all required documentation is uploaded correctly. The system tracks the receipt date of the request, which is critical for refund eligibility and compliance.

Equinox will prompt agents to resolve any incomplete or incorrect entries before allowing the request to be submitted. This process ensures a smooth workflow while maintaining adherence to NFIP guidelines.

Third-Party Cancellation Forms

Cancellations can be requested in any format, so long as the request has the signatures of all named insureds and the agent of record.

The third-party cancellation forms should be uploaded to the policy record for underwriting review. Electronic signatures must provide secure and accurate identification methods.
