The NFIP relies on a structured system of qualifying reasons ("Reason Codes") to ensure policy cancellations are handled consistently and transparently. These codes categorize the allowable reasons for canceling or nullifying a policy, such as when there is no longer an insurable interest, duplicate coverage exists, or a property becomes ineligible for coverage.
Each qualifying reason outlines specific conditions, documentation requirements, and refund eligibility.
