When may an insurance policy be canceled aside from non-payment of premiums?

An insurance policy may be canceled when the insurance company becomes insolvent because insolvency indicates that the insurance provider is unable to fulfill its financial obligations to policyholders. In such circumstances, continuing the policy is not viable as the insurer lacks the necessary funds to pay claims or cover losses. This aligns with the fundamental premise of insurance, which relies on the insurer's ability to provide coverage and support when needed.

While there are other situations that could prompt cancellation of a policy—like excessive claims or changes in coverage—the correct choice addresses a critical and unavoidable circumstance that impacts the insurer's capability to operate. Changes in a policyholder's address, for example, are typically managed through adjustments to the policy rather than outright cancellation unless the move significantly alters the risk profile associated with underwriting the policy.
