Foremost non-renews a share of previously protected Louisiana policies
After Louisiana repealed its three-year rule restricting non-renewals of long-tenured policyholders, Foremost non-renewed fewer than 5% of its affected book, per Louisiana Department of Insurance records, the only insurer recorded doing so in the first year.

Foremost says it began targeted underwriting actions in Texas, with non-renewal notices to some property customers
A Farmers Insurance spokesperson told the Houston Chronicle that Foremost, a Farmers subsidiary, began targeted underwriting actions in Texas in November 2023 and that, as a result, a portion of customers with dwelling fire, manufactured home, homeowners and condo policies began receiving non-renewal notices. The spokesperson said more than 90% of Foremost’s existing Texas property customers are not affected and that Foremost continues to offer new property policies in the state. A Texas Department of Insurance spokesperson said Foremost informed TDI in September 2023 of plans to stop selling home policies that included wind and hail coverage in some counties concentrated in coastal areas. Foremost did not say which customers are affected.
