California Casualty, the NEA Auto & Home Insurance carrier since 2000, is embarking on a new business model, refocusing as a smaller regional insurer. As a result, they will be discontinuing their services in all states except California, Oregon, Colorado, Arizona, Kansas, Idaho, and Wyoming. There will be no disruption for NEA members who have current policies residing in these states. 

NEA Member Benefits conducted an extensive search to find a replacement carrier with a nationwide footprint to continue to offer reliable insurance, competitive rates, a member discount along with great coverage and services for NEA members. Travelers emerged as the standout choice for NEA members. 

California Casualty will continue their services only in these states: California, Oregon, Colorado, Arizona, Kansas, Idaho, and Wyoming.

As required by law, California Casualty has made an informational withdrawal filing with the New Jersey Department of Banking and Insurance of their intent to withdraw from auto coverage in the State of New Jersey. Under this filing, it is proposed that all auto/home policies will be non-renewed over a twelve-month timeframe. Non-renewals may begin with expiration dates on or after January 1, 2024. You will also receive an official notice of non-renewal in the mail for your auto/home policy at least 60 days prior to your policy expiration date.

No action is required at this time as your policy will remain in effect until your expiration date, at which time you will need to secure replacement insurance.

PLEASE NOTE: The new NEA^® Auto & Home Insurance Program is now available and you may obtain a quote and explore the options available by calling Travelers at 1-833-200-3559.

NEA members who receive a non-renewal notice should call Travelers at 1-866-201-0335 to speak with an insurance representative to obtain a quote or new coverage. To receive the most accurate rate comparison, have your California Casualty policy that lists all your current coverages and limits ready.

• Members who have experienced this issue can obtain a quote with Travelers at 1-866-201-0335.

For members residing in states where California Casualty is no longer offering coverage, policies will be non-renewed as of the policy expiration date, meaning coverage will remain in force for the remainder of members’ policy term. Members will receive notification from California Casualty approximately 75 to 100 days prior to their policy expiration date. However, members do not need to wait until their policy expiration date to request a quote and apply for or enroll into the new NEA^® Auto & Home Insurance Program through Travelers. Call Travelers at 1-866-201-0335 to speak with an insurance representative who can help obtain the coverage you need.
