Auto 5 min read

Can an insurance company drop you or cancel your policy after you file a claim?

In most jurisdictions, an insurer cannot immediately cancel your policy mid-term solely because you filed a single legitimate claim, unless there was proven fraud, material misrepresentation, or non-payment. However, they are legally permitted to non-renew your policy when the term expires (typically every 6 or 12 months) by providing advance written notice.

Health 5 min read

Does health insurance cover pre-existing conditions, and can an insurer deny you?

Under the Affordable Care Act (ACA), major medical individual and employer health plans cannot deny coverage, charge higher premiums, or exclude treatment for pre-existing conditions. However, non-ACA plans such as short-term health insurance, health sharing ministries, and travel medical policies can and routinely do deny or restrict pre-existing condition coverage.

Life 5 min read

Is a life insurance payout taxable to the beneficiary?

In general, life insurance death benefit payouts received as a lump sum by a named beneficiary are 100% free of federal and state income tax. However, interest accrued on delayed payouts, installment payout plans, estate-owned policies exceeding federal estate tax thresholds, or policies transferred for valuable consideration may incur income or estate taxes.
