A commercial building owner has multiple insurance policies with different renewal dates. To streamline policy management, they have their insurance agent create a new NFIP policy 30 days prior to the effective date of their primary hazard coverage so that the effective dates match.

			After the new policy became effective, the agent submitted a cancellation request signed by the owner, a copy of the new NFIP declarations page, and a copy of the hazard policy with the matching dates to cancel the existing NFIP policy.

A homeowner realizes that their flood insurance renews at a different time than their homeowners insurance. To simplify their renewal process, they talked to their insurance agent about ways to fix the effective date. After confirming with NFIP underwriters, the agent convinced the policyholder to purchase a new policy with a date that coincides with their homeowners policy; this would be used to cancel the existing NFIP policy.

			The insured wanted to increase their coverage as well, so the new policy was issued with the maximum allowed coverage limit. After the new policy became effective, the agent submitted a cancellation request signed by the homeowner, a copy of the new NFIP declarations page, and a copy of the homeowners policy with the matching dates to cancel the existing NFIP policy.
