An insurance company issues a policy when it believes you have a
certain level of "risk" or chance of a claim. Underwriting is the process
the company uses to decide whether to accept or reject an
application. Companies do
not make their underwriting guidelines public because they are
considered to be trade secrets.

The insured's remaining premium equity in his policy; that part of the
policy premium that has not been "used up."
INSURANCE - Annuity

semiannual, or annual) income benefit for the life of a person (annuitant), for the
lives of two or more persons, or for a specified period of time.
,INSURANCE - Binder
temporary insurance contract providing coverage until a
permanent policy is issued.
INSURANCE - Reinsurance
form of insurance that insurance companies buy for their own
protection, "a sharing of insurance." An insurer (the reinsured)

company
(reinsurer).

A significant misstatement in an application form. If a company
had access to the correct information at the time of application, the
