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.

Equinox outlines all qualifying reasons shown below as part of the Cancellation Request process.
