Nationwide Property & Casualty business actions update

Strong headwinds brought on by the economic environment, catastrophic weather events and the impacts of inflation continue to impact the entire insurance industry. As a result, Nationwide has announced specific business actions it is taking to mitigate risk and manage the personal and commercial lines portfolios in the current environment. 

Nationwide is requiring pre-quote documentation for new personal lines business beginning June 14 for some products in select states. Agents are encouraged to visit Agent Center for details about these changes. 

Nationwide is also taking some actions to balance risk within its small and middle market commercial lines business. Agents are encouraged to talk to their territory sales manager for details about these changes.
