ISO HOMEOWNERS OPTIONAL COVERAGE ENDORSEMENTS

(July 2020)

This article briefly discusses the common coverage options available for modifying ISO’s basic homeowner policies. Where applicable, you’ll find a reference to additional articles that discuss a particular endorsement in greater detail.

ANALYSIS OF OPTIONAL ENDORSEMENTS

The following are brief descriptions of the coverage for ISO’s optional homeowner program endorsements that generally have countrywide application:

HO 00 22–Transition Endorsement

(Use only with HO 00 02)

This form can be used by companies to implement the 2011 changes without having to issue a new policy. It can only be attached to a ’00 edition policy. It is a bridge between the ’00 and ’11 editions of this HO base form.

HO 00 23–Transition Endorsement

(Use only with HO 00 03)

HO 00 24–Transition Endorsement

(Use only with HO 00 04)

HO 00 25–Transition Endorsement

(Use only with HO 00 05)

HO 00 26–Transition Endorsement

(Use only with HO 00 06)

HO 00 28–Transition Endorsement

(Use only with HO 00 08)

HO 03 12–Windstorm or Hail Percentage Deductible

(All Forms Except HO 00 04 and HO 00 06)

This form allows a special deductible to be applied to any loss to insured property that results from powerful winds or from hail. The form's deductible is a stated percentage of the limit of insurance that appears for Coverage A–Dwelling. Even though the deductible is determined by multiplying the Coverage A-Dwelling limit, the resulting deductible applies to any wind or hail loss that occurs, whether it is under Coverage A, B, C or D.

HO 03 18–Hurricane Deductible

This form allows a special deductible to be applied to any hurricane loss to insured property. The form’s deductible is a stated percentage of the limit of insurance for Coverage A-Dwelling and is applied to the total of all loss (Coverages A, B, C and D) from a single hurricane. The definition of what constitutes a hurricane is part of the form.

HO 04 10–Additional Interests–Residence Premises

This simple form merely allows one or more parties who have an insurable interest in the insured home to be added to the homeowner policy. Besides identifying other additional interests, it also obligates the insurer to give the listed parties advance notice if and when the homeowner policy coverage is to be terminated.

HO 04 11–Additional Limits Of Liability for Coverages A, B, C, and D

Depending upon the insured agreeing to fully insure the covered buildings at the amount recommended (calculated) by the insurer, the covered property is protected at its full replacement cost. The policy will pay for replacement, even when the cost exceeds the limit shown on the policy. Replacement cost is provided by amending the basic policy’s Loss Settlement provision. This form refers to buildings in place of dwellings so that its intent to be applied beyond Coverage A is clarified. If a building is constructed at a different location, the insurer is only obligated to pay an amount no greater than if the rebuilding took place on the original insured location.

HO 04 12–Increased Limits on Business Property

HO 04 13–Sections I and II Exclusions for Computer-Related Damage or Injury

This form limits the additional coverages granted to an insured for permitted businesses that are operated on the insured premises. When a “business” endorsement has been added to a policy to cover businesses such as offices, studios, day care or farming operations, the HO 04 13 acts to exclude any computer hardware or software loss that is related to that business. Specifically, the endorsement bars coverage for any bodily injury or property damage caused by a computer, accessories, peripherals, or similar equipment, which fails due to programming or similar malfunctions. However, the form still permits coverage for “bodily injury” that either occurs on the residence premises or away from the residence as long as the “bodily injury” occurs at the premises where the insured’s described business is located.

HO 04 14–Special Computer Coverage

(All Forms Except HO 00 05, HO 00 04 with HO 05 24, and HO 00 06 with HO 17 31.)

Related Article: HO 04 14–Special Computer Coverage

HO 04 15–Section II–Limited Coverage for Year 2000 Computer Related and Other Electronic Problems

This form nullifies the liability exclusion created by the HO 04 13–Sections I And II Exclusions For Computer-Related Damage or Injury endorsement. The endorsement ONLY covers computer failure caused by an inability to process, interpret, or handle specific dates such as the year 2000. However, this coverage exception applies only to the “business” activity described in the policy that is modified by the HO 04 15.

HO 04 16–Premises Alarm or Fire Protection System

This form recognizes that one or more protective systems exist on the insured premises and that the insurer has provided a premium credit for the system(s). The form requires the insured to keep the equipment in working order and to tell the insurer of any changes, including the removal of any equipment. Coverage for a given loss may be denied if the applicable equipment is not present and in working order.

HO 04 18–Deferred Premium Payment

This form allows an insured the option to pay the policy premium in installments that are identified on the declarations. The annual premium amounts are based upon the rates in effect at the time the installment is due.

HO 04 20–Specified Additional Amount of Insurance for Coverage A–Dwelling

(Used with Forms HO 00 02, HO 00 03 and HO 00 05)

This form provides an automatic increase in protection under Coverage A. The increase is a percent of the Coverage A insurance limit that is specified either on the form or elsewhere in the policy. This is an especially useful endorsement when the insured is making improvements or adding on to the building and a loss occurs before the insured has had the chance to notify the insurer. This form’s coverage applies similarly to endorsement HO 04 11–Additional Limits of Liability for Coverages A, B, C, and D.

Note: If an insured has concerns about preserving full replacement cost for his building (structural) assets, it would appear more logical to purchase the HO 04 11 form instead.

HO 04 26–Limited Fungi, Wet or Dry Rot, or Bacteria Coverage

(Used with all forms except HO 00 03 AND HO 00 05)

This form gives and takes away coverage. It adds a new fungi, wet and dry rot, or bacteria exclusion to Section I and then provides a specific sublimit amount of coverage under the form’s Additional Coverages Section I. It then introduces a sublimit that applies to coverage available under Coverages E. and F.

HO 04 27–Limited Fungi, Wet or Dry Rot, or Bacteria Coverage

(Used with forms HO 00 03 AND HO 00 05)

Similar to HO 04 26 form (see above) but used for forms HO 00 03 and HO 00 05.

HO 04 28–Limited Fungi, Wet or Dry Rot, or Bacteria Coverage

(Used with forms HO 00 04 AND HO 00 06)

Similar to HO 04 26 form (see above) but used for forms HO 00 04 (modified by HO 05 24–see below) and HO 00 06 (modified by HO 17 31 or HO 17 32) –see below).

HO 04 30–Theft Coverage Increase

(HO 00 08 Only)

This endorsement permits increases in the theft limit of $1,000 on the HO 00 08 policy. This endorsement also can add theft coverage, subject to a set limit, for theft of property away from the premises. However, off-premises theft can only be bought after purchasing additional on-premises coverage. Further, the Coverage C, Special Limits of Liability, which limits the amount of recovery for theft of firearms, jewelry, watches, furs and expensive stones and precious metal dinnerware, also applies when this coverage is attached to a homeowners policy. This form does not apply to thefts related to use of the residence in home-sharing activities unless the HO 00 08 policy is modified by the Broadened Home-Sharing Activities Endorsement. (02 17 Change)

ISO Homeowners Modified Coverage Form HO 00 08

ISO Homeowner Mandatory And Optional Home-Sharing Endorsements

HO 04 35–Supplemental Loss Assessment Coverage

This endorsement expands the loss assessment coverage available in the base policy. The form increases the insurance limit for assessments related to the described premises. The form is also extended to cover condominium units other than the residence premises. Loss assessments related to earthquake damage are not covered. The limit shown in the endorsement (or elsewhere) is the TOTAL amount that could be paid for all assessments that are the result of a single occurrence.

HO 04 36–Loss Assessment Coverage for Earthquake

This endorsement covers an assessment due to earthquake loss. This source of loss is not covered by the base policy nor by HO 04 35–Loss Assessment Coverage. An insured is reimbursed for loss assessments made as a result of loss caused by earthquake, including land shock waves or tremors before, during or after a volcanic eruption. Units other than the residence premises can be covered. A single deductible applies to all assessments arising from one occurrence. The deductible is whichever is lower: $500 or the amount equal to the selected percentage of the selected limit of insurance.

The form excludes coverage for assessments charged to an individual, corporation or a property-owner association, by a municipality or other government unit.

HO 04 40–Structures Rented to Others (Residence Premises)

This endorsement provides coverage for structures other than the residence that are located on the described premises, rented, or held for rental to others. Coverage applies only when such structures are used for residential purposes and are not occupied by more than two families or more than two roomers or boarders per family. Provision is made in the endorsement for as many as three structures held for rental. Each structure is insured with its own limit of insurance. The coverage applies only to structures which are either currently occupied by renters or are being held out for rental. Either all of the structures or just a portion of the structures may be rented out and the purpose of the rental MUST be for use as a residence.

HO 04 41–Additional Insured (Residence Premises)

This endorsement extends a homeowners policy, without additional premium charge, to cover the interest of a non-occupant joint owner in the building and for premises liability. Only liability losses directly connected to the building are eligible for coverage. However, no coverage is provided for injury to an insured’s employees (including residence employees and their replacements) who are hurt during the course of their employment duties. The additional interest also receives advanced notice if the policy is to be canceled or not to be renewed.

HO 04 42–Permitted Incidental Occupancies (Residence Premises)

This endorsement may be used to cover incidental business activity performed by an insured on the residence premises. The activity may take place either in the insured dwelling or in an "other" structure such as a detached garage or utility building. The endorsement also changes the homeowners policy provisions so that coverage exists for personal property associated with the activity. If the activity takes place in an “other” structure, the endorsement provides protection that is specific to the structure (the Coverage B insurance limit will not respond to losses to the described “other” structure). Finally, the form expands the policy coverage to provide protection against the legal liability related to the incidental business. The full Coverage C limit applies to property of the business that is described in the endorsement.

HO 04 43–Replacement Cost Loss Settlement for Certain Non-Building Structures On the Residence Premises

This form permits replacement cost settlement for certain structural property such as exterior masonry, driveways, fences (made of metal, plastic resin, or fiberglass), walks and patios that are made of non-wood materials. Swimming pools, therapeutic bath and hot tubs are also covered whether or not they are in ground or semi-in ground. Coverage is subject to the policy deductible and payment under this form reduces the total amount of coverage available either under Coverage B or under coverage that is specific to the applicable structure.

HO 04 46–Inflation Guard

Related Article: HO 04 46–Inflation Guard Endorsement

HO 04 48–Other Structures on the Residence Premises

This endorsement provides an additional amount of insurance on a specific “other” structure located on the residence premises. Several structures may be identified in the endorsement, with a specific amount of insurance applicable to each as an additional limit of insurance.

HO 04 49–Building Additions and Alterations (Other Residence)

This endorsement may be used to cover additions, alterations and improvements made at the insured's expense, to that part of a building that is rented to the insured as a residence. The location and limit of liability are specified on the form’s schedule.

HO 04 50–Increased Amount of Insurance for Personal Property at Other Residences

This endorsement is used to increase the basic limit of insurance under Coverage C–Personal Property that applies to personal property while located at another residence owned by an insured (normally 10% of Coverage C). The location of each such residence and the increased limit applicable to it are specified in the endorsement.

HO 04 51–Building Additions and Alterations–Increased LImit

(Used only with HO 00 04)

This endorsement gives an insured the option to increase the coverage for building additions and alterations at the additional premium developed from the Premium Section of the Homeowners Manual.

HO 04 52–Livestock Collision Coverage

This endorsement is designed for hobby farmers. $400 is the maximum payable for one head of livestock. No deductible applies to this protection. The policy endorsement handles either a loss caused by a collision with a vehicle during the transportation of the animal or damage suffered by livestock that is struck after wandering onto a public road. Animals eligible for coverage are cattle, sheep, swine, goats, horses, mules, and donkeys. The form excludes coverage for livestock struck by a vehicle that is operated by an insured or an employee of an insured.

HO 04 53–Credit Card, Electronic Fund Transfer Card, or Access Device Forgery and Counterfeit Money Coverage–Increased Limit

This endorsement increases the limit of liability for such property and occurrences to the optional specified limit. While Federal law limits the financial risk faced by the loss or theft of a credit card, it has not eliminated the need for the total coverage provided by the HO 04 53.

In the age of e-commerce, credit card related losses have surged and check forgery has maintained its status as a steady loss exposure. Coverage is provided for loss by forgery or alteration of any personal checks or similar written instruments made or drawn by or upon an insured’s accounts. This coverage also protects the insured for losses caused by his or her acceptance, in good faith, of counterfeit United States or Canadian paper currency. Finally, protection is included for losses arising from the unauthorized use of electronic fund transfer cards and electronic fund access devices.

It is intended for a person who is a full-time resident rather than a guest, tenant, roomer, boarder, home-sharing occupant, or employee. Further, persons under the age of 21 who live with the scheduled party also attain status as insured household members. (02 17 Change)

HO 04 59–Assisted Living Care Coverage

This endorsement allows the homeowner policy’s coverage to be extended to a scheduled legal relative who is living in an assisted living facility. In addition to the name of the person and the facility description, limits for personal property and liability (Coverages C and F) must be provided. Only those limits appearing in the form apply to a given loss. Also, the form has some limited Additional Living Expense coverage as well as a separate set of property sub-limits for certain types of property that are vulnerable to loss such as eyeglasses, hearing aids, canes, walkers, and similar items.

This form expands the coverage under a homeowners policy to apply to classes of personal property on a scheduled basis and on a special form (as opposed to named peril) basis. Specific coverage limits may be selected for up to nine classes of property (jewelry, furs, postage stamps, coins, cameras, musical instruments, silverware, golf equipment and fine arts) with an option of specific coverage for individual items.

This endorsement changes the loss settlement basis under Coverage C from actual cash value to full replacement cost.

HO 04 91–Coverage B–Other Structures Away from the Residence Premises

(Used with HO 00 02, HO 00 03 and HO 00 05)

This endorsement extends the policy’s protection under Coverage B for other, related structures that are located away from the "residence premises." For example, it would provide coverage for a barn located on land that is owned by an insured but is separated from that insured’s "residence premises" by land owned by another party. There is no coverage for a building that houses any sort of business activity including storing business property. However, if the applicable home is modified by the Broadened Home-Sharing Host Activities Coverage Endorsement an exception is made for a residence used by a home-sharing occupant. (02 17 Change).

HO 04 92–Specific Structures Away from the Residence Premises

This endorsement is similar to HO 04 91, but this endorsement establishes a separate limit of insurance for the structure, rather than including the coverage in the existing Coverage B limit. The form clarifies that there is no coverage for a building that houses any sort of business activity including storing business property. However, if the applicable home is modified by the Broadened Home-Sharing Host Activities Coverage Endorsement an exception is made for a residence used by a home-sharing occupant. (02 17 Change).

HO 04 93–Actual Cash Value Loss Settlement Windstorm or Hail Losses to Roof Surfacing

(Used with HO 00 06 and HO 00 08)

This form converts the loss settlement provision to an actual cash value (ACV) basis when the forces of wind or hail cause direct damage to a roof’s surface materials.

(04 16 Change)

HO 04 94–Windstorm or Hail Exclusion

(Used with HO 00 03 and HO 00 05)

(Used with HO 00 04 Only)

This form changes the perils covered from named perils to direct physical loss to property except as excluded.

HO 05 27–Additional Insured–Student Living Away From the Residence Premises

This amends both major sections of the HO contract to recognize the person described in the schedule as an insured.

That person is an insured only if prior to school residency, he or she was either a relative or a member of the base policy insured’s household.

HO 05 28–Owned Motorized Golf Cart Physical Loss Coverage

This amends a HO contract to provide a limited and scheduled amount of physical damage protection to golf carts owned by an insured. It applies to non-modified carts that are incapable of exceeding 25 mph and that are designed to travel on a golf course carrying no more than four persons. A deductible of $500 applies.

HO 05 30–Functional Replacement Cost Loss Settlement

(Used with HO 00 02, HO 00 03 or HO 00 05)

This endorsement permits a lower limit of insurance because instead of settling losses on a replacement cost basic each loss is based on the cost to repair or replace the damaged property with a functional equivalent. This applies to only Coverage A (Dwelling) and Coverage B (Other Structures).

HO 05 31–Modified Functional Replacement Cost Loss Settlement

(Used with HO 00 02 and HO 00 03 only)

HO 05 41–Extended Theft Coverage for Residence Premises Occasionally Rented To Others

(Used with HO 00 02, HO 00 03 and HO 00 05)
