What is the minimum advance notice required for cancelling a workers compensation policy in New York when not related to nonpayment?

The minimum advance notice required for cancelling a workers' compensation policy in New York, when the cancellation is not related to nonpayment, is indeed 30 days. This requirement is set forth to protect both the insurer and the policyholder, ensuring that the policyholder has adequate time to secure alternative coverage if needed and that the insurer follows a fair process when terminating a policy.
