Common use of Renewal WA Requests Clause in Contracts

Renewal WA Requests. (1) A renewal WA request is a request to renew a WA, or parts of a WA (for example, a previous WA contained land no longer in the producer’s farming operation, therefore a renewal for this land is not needed), which has expired or been cancelled that was in effect for the crop year prior to the current crop year (even if the WA that was in effect for the prior crop year was with a different AIP). All other requests for a WA (such as new land locations not included as part of the previous WA, new crops, new P/T, new WA situations, etc.) are new requests. Note: If a WA is issued at a broader level designation than the field or CLU level (such as county level, section level, etc.), all fields within that level designation are considered insurable under the terms of the WA for that producer, even if not specifically requested by the producer. Therefore, all fields within that level designation are considered a renewal request in the subsequent year. For example, a producer requests fields 1 and 2 in County A and a single-year WA is issued at the county level for County A, thus making all fields in County A insurable. If a producer requests fields 1, 2, and 3 in County A the subsequent year, all these fields fall under a renewal request since all were insurable on the initial WA, even though the producer did not specifically request field 3 the initial year.

All other requests for a WA (such as new land locations not included as part of the previous WA, new crops, new P/T, new WA situations, etc.) are new requests. If the insured has both a renewal WA request and a new WA request, both may be submitted on the same Request for Actuarial Change form (mark both the new request and renewal request boxes on the Request for Actuarial Change form); however all applicable deadline dates and documentation requirements must still be followed. Note: If a WA is issued at a broader level designation than the field or CLU level (such as county level, section level, etc.), all fields within that level designation are considered insurable under the terms of the WA for that producer, even if not specifically requested by the producer.

Example: A producer received a single-year WA in 2017 for fields 1, 2, and 3. For 2018, the producer picked up fields 4 and 5, no longer has field 2, and requests a WA for fields 1, 3, 4, and 5. In 2018, the request for fields 1 and 3 is a renewal request because these fields had a WA in 2017 and therefore must follow the renewal request requirements (such as dates, documentation, etc.). However, in 2018, the request for fields 4 and 5 is a new request because these fields were not part of the WA in 2017 and must follow the new request requirements (such as dates, documentation, etc.).
