Eighty percent rule


The 80 percent rule that applies to partial losses. It states that a claim for a partial loss would be fully paid if the home were insured for at least 80 percent of its true replacement cost. If the home is insured for less than 80 percent of its true replacement value, then the partial loss would be paid in relation to the amount of insurance required to receive full reimbursement and that which was actually purchased.
