As we approach the 2-year anniversary of the CA-AB1523 liability insurance law, it is a good time for a Buyer Beware bulletin.

BEWARE of agents who require you to sign a letter to get competitive quotes. Seeking competitive quotes is smart, but don’t fall for the “sign here” ploy. You should not have to sign anything to get a competitive quote for your liability insurance renewal. Save your signature for a firm commitment once an agent has offered the best combination of low-premium and high-quality customer service. You want to be aligned with ethical partners in business who are responsive to your needs.

It is standard practice for insurance companies to send you a renewal quote 3-5 weeks prior to renewal. Call your agent if you have not received a renewal quote 3 weeks prior to your policy expiration.

Don’t Wait until the last minute to renew your Administrator Certificate!

RCFE/ARF administrators are renewing their  administrator certificate applications too close
to the expiration date on the certificate.

The Administrator Certification Section (ACS) sends a 90-day notice prior to each
administrator’s certificate expiration date.  This is a reminder to send in your renewal
application, not a reminder to take your continuing education training program courses.

You need to allow 90 days for the processing of renewal applications from the date
that the ACS receives it.

If you have submitted your renewal you can check the application dates that are currently being processed on the ACS website

You can also check the status of applications via the ACS automated telephone system at 916-653-9300. Have ready your administrator certificate number to insert into the interactive system to learn the status of your renewal application. 

Reminder:  If you submit a late renewal applications you are subject to a non-refundable delinquency fee of $300.00.
