MIC’s underwriting appetite.
Our MiIncome Involuntary Loss of Employment underwriting appetite enables us to offer protection designed to cover loss of income and associated loss mitigation expenses for working individuals. These include incomes earned by an individual from full-time or part-time employment, independent contract work, gig work, moonlighting or freelancing. We deliver our solutions through programs with commercial customers and local insurers.
What can be covered?
We do not have pre-determined triggers or perils outlined in our underwriting appetite for this type of business. Instead, we work with partners, insurers, and reinsurers to tailor the protection to the nature of the work of their target market. For example, we can cover loss of income for an Uber driver from damage to their vehicle or loss of income due to involuntary lay-off. The cause of the loss must be beyond the control of the covered worker. Typical coverage can include:
- Loss of income as a result of a covered event or trigger.
- Expenses incurred by an individual to mitigate their loss.
What is typically not covered?
We work with our partners, insurers, and reinsurers to create products that add value to all parties, with typical coverage exclusions being:
- Contractual disputes or breaches involving the covered worker.
- Failure by the covered worker to comply with local laws and regulations applicable to their work.
- Failure by the covered worker to seek the required permits, authorisation, and approvals necessary to execute the work.
- Any fraud or misrepresentation by the covered worker.
- Losses due to war, terrorism, strikes, or civil unrest.
- Government-imposed ban or restriction on the covered worker’s work.
- Losses due to nuclear, chemical, biological, radiation, pollution, and pandemic events.
- Losses due to the cover worker’s inability due to lack of financial resources of the covered worker to complete their agreed work.
Policy limits we can offer.
- MIC can offer an aggregate claim limit of USD $10,000 per covered worker limit. This can be adjusted up or down depending on the demographics being covered, coverage required, and scale of the program.
- We work with our partners, brokers, and insurers to tailor our limits specifically to each program.
Program reporting requirements.
- MIC requires that data on program enrolments, premiums, and claims be provided by partners on a monthly basis with insurers/brokers being able to provide data using Application Programming Interface (API) within 30 days of a program incepting.
- MIC will work with your partners, brokers, and insurers to put in place API connections for the seamless and real-time sharing of data between parties on the program.
- MIC, working with our partners, may seek integration with apps and webpages for the purpose of monitoring and validating claims, performing diagnostics, and assessing and managing risk.
Program changes.
- MIC requires the ability to review program pricing, terms, and conditions in collaboration with the partner, broker, and insurer (on new risks that are covered by the program) if the loss ratio (i.e. claims/premium) is above 65%.
Minimum annual program premium.
- MIC has a minimum annual premium on each program of 240,000 USD / CAD / GBP / EUR.
