FAQs
Why did NEA Member Benefits change insurance providers for the NEA® Renters Insurance Program?
California Casualty, the NEA® Renters Insurance Program 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 Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, Kansas, Oregon, and Wyoming. There will be no disruption for NEA members who have current policies residing in these states. If you are currently an NEA® Renters Insurance Program customer with California Casualty, please visit our transition website for up-to-date information on the program and how you may be impacted.
NEA Member Benefits has 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.
What is Renters Insurance and why do I need it?
Many people that rent don’t know they need renters’ insurance. Sure, your landlord may have insurance for the building, however, that coverage does not extend to your personal property or liability.
Renters insurance can help protect you from the unexpected. Think what would happen to your furniture, clothing, or electronics if there was a fire, sudden water damage from a broken pipe or a burglar broke into your apartment and took your belongings. Now think about what would happen if someone slipped in your kitchen or your pet accidently damaged someone’s property. Renters insurance can help cover your belongings, temporary housing, your legal liability including defense costs, medical bills for others and more.
Most renters’ policies have 3 key elements: the premium, which is how much you pay for coverage, deductibles, which is how much you’re responsible for out-of-pocket in the event of a covered claim, and limits, which is the most your insurer will pay for a covered claim.
Also, did you know that having renters’ insurance may also lower your car insurance? It’s a win-win.
