I posted a message last week and I am new at Sowal, but a few FACTS about the Citizens letters. Every Citizens policy holder is getting this letter. Citizens is changing it's coverage forms and computer system and has decided to UPDATE its data on exisitng policy holders by requiring us ALL to reapply on renewal. Some policy holders may be required to provide evidence of updates such as new roof dates etc. , but for most just the hassle of having to work with our agents to complete the new applications and update contact information etc. THERE WILL BE NO rate increase in 2009 by legislative order. Some premiums actually may go down again due to the updated information may result in discounts that were not available when we first became policy holders.
There will actually be three notices sent to every Citizens policy holder, I believe it is 120 days, 90 days and 60 days prior reminding us to contact our Citizens agent. Fortunately or unfortunately I am a Citizens agent with about 4,000 Citizens clients so the challenge of completing new applications is somewhat challenging, but we are hopeful that the requirement will ultimately be of benefit to our clients as a whole.
