Why C is correct
Under Chapter 627, Florida Statutes, the renewability side of the Act requires carriers to renew existing small employer groups except on grounds the law specifies, such as nonpayment of premiums or the carrier's withdrawal from the market, and it works with portability protections that preserve continuity of coverage when circumstances change. Renewal is therefore the default, not an annual re-underwriting event, which is what gives small businesses year-to-year security in their coverage.
Why the other options are wrong
- A) Dropping groups annually without cause is precisely what the renewability protection forbids.
- B) An employee's claim is never an automatic trigger for losing the group's coverage under the Act.
- D) Annual re-underwriting of every employee contradicts the renewal-by-default design of the small employer framework.
Memory hook
Small employer renewal is the default; only specified grounds end it.
