Voluntary Excess Program Renewal Opening May 5th
Each year, CLIA receives overwhelmingly positive feedback from our Voluntary Excess Program (VEP) customers about the ease of our renewal process. Based on customer feedback, last year we opened the renewal period on May 1st – a month earlier than previous years. This gave firms that little extra time to complete our easy and convenient online application before the distraction of summer vacation. So this year we are opening again on May 5th!
Avoid a lapse in coverage by renewing by June 30th. A lapse in coverage can leave the firm unprotected against claims arising during the gap period, potentially resulting in significant financial liability. CLIA does not offer a grace period for late renewals, so it is crucial to renew your policy before it expires to maintain continuous coverage.
