When must evidence of coverage be delivered to the debtor when credit life or health is written?

The requirement for delivering evidence of coverage to the debtor when credit life or health insurance is written is mandated to ensure that individuals understand the terms and benefits of their insurance policy. In New Jersey, this evidence must be delivered within 30 days of the issuance of the policy. This timeframe is designed to provide borrowers with timely information about the insurance coverage they have, allowing them to be informed and to have access to documents that detail their rights and the conditions of the coverage.

This 30-day period strikes a balance between prompt communication of essential information and practicality for the issuing party, ensuring that debtors can access the necessary documentation to understand their coverage while still allowing insurers enough time to process the paperwork associated with the policy issuance. Other time frames such as 15, 45, or 60 days do not align with the legislative intent or regulations governing credit life or health insurance, making 30 days the appropriate and legally compliant choice.
