Enhancement to Catastrophe (CAT) limits display
April 30, 2026
Commercial Lines
We’ve made it easier to review CAT limits on the declarations page, helping support clearer coverage review and support smoother policy discussions.
We’re improving how CAT limits display on the declaration page to support quicker reviews and smoother client conversations.
Effective date:
- May 11, 2026
What’s changing:
The declarations page for Earthquake, Flood, and Sewer Backup will display CAT limits in a clearer format:
- If the CAT limit equals the policy limit: The declarations page will show “Included.”
- If the CAT limit is lower than the policy limit: The specific limit amount will be displayed.
This is a display-only enhancement. There is no impact to coverage availability, underwriting guidelines, premiums or deductibles, and existing limits.
Why it matters:
- Clearer coverage review: You can quickly see whether CAT limits match or differ from the main policy limit, without scanning for repeated values.
- Less risk of confusion: Differences in CAT limits are clearly shown, making it easier to explain coverage details and avoid misunderstandings.
- Supports smoother workflow: A clearer declarations page reduces questions and speeds up policy reviews, renewals, and new business discussions.
