Cancellation of policy - Time period

Official statutory text

A. No policy of individual life insurance or any annuity shall

be delivered or issued for delivery in this state unless it shall

have printed thereon or attached thereto a notice stating in

substance that, during a period of ten (10) days from the date the

policy or annuity is delivered to the insured, it may be surrendered

to the insurer together with a written request for cancellation of

the policy or annuity and, in such event, the policy or annuity

shall be void from the beginning and the insurer will refund any

premium or moneys paid therefor within thirty (30) days from the

date of cancellation. If the insurer does not return any premiums

or moneys paid therefor within thirty (30) days from the date of

cancellation, the insurer shall pay interest on the proceeds which

Treasury Bill rate of the preceding calendar year, as certified to

the Insurance Commissioner by the State Treasurer on the first

regular business day in January of each year, plus two (2)

percentage points, which shall accrue from the date of cancellation

such policy or annuity to the insurer.
