Rain and Hail – Important Claim Notice

CLAIM REMINDERS

REPLANTS –

RMA clarification – ‘Failure to obtain AIP consent to replant in advance of replanting will result in denial of the replant claim’

Exceptions may NOT be made even if the original stand remains intact because of inter-seeding, replanted alongside the original damaged rows, or left check strips at the insured’s discretion.  The adjuster must give consent prior to replanting.  The adjuster can give permission to replant over the phone by having the insured leave check strips.  The key is the insured must talk with the adjuster before replanting.

For a self-cert replant (SCR), an insured will not need consent from an adjuster but a claim must be turned in prior to replanting.
