Renewal date

Huvudförfallodag in Swedish as in Charles' reference to Trygg Hansa.

At least in Australia, the corresponding term is renewal date:
"The renewal date for your insurance policy is based on the date you agreed with the insurer that the policy would take effect when you first signed up".

The same term is used to explain insurance on about.com, a US based site:
"An insurance renewal is the standard length of time an insurance policy is in effect without the insurance company adjusting your rate".

If you do not renew your policy by the renewal date it expires.

Peer comment(s):
neutral Charles Ek : While it's possible this might be used, I took the specific example here to involve a claim. It's more likely in that instance to be expiration/expiry, I think.

When the insurance expires, will you renew it? If not (as might be the case with travel insurance) it would be expiry date, but most of the time the insurance is renewed, don't you agree? And it has nothing to do with a claim as I understand it.

expiration date of the group insurance policy

hffd = huvudförfallodag

Det torde röra sig om en gruppförsäkring och "huvud-" anger att det syftas på ett datum i gruppavtalet och inte på ett datum i ett enskilt avtal som täckts av gruppavtalet (huvudavtalet).
Peer comment(s):
disagree Charles Ek : There's no indication this involves the group vs. individual policy distinction. See the various links I have posted in my answer for fuller explication of why this is just "expiration date". Google is indeed my friend: http://tinyurl.com/o36fso6

The indication is "huvud-"!!! Google is your friend; have a go!

Peer comment(s):
disagree Charles Ek : This would never be used in English in this insurance context. And yes, I'm sure, just as you will be when you read the text at the links I posted in my own answer. This term has nothing to do with dates for premium payment.

huvudförfallodag > expiration date

See the link for Swedish explanation. It's "expiration date" in the U.S. (not "renewal date" in the context of the Swedish term).

For anyone who thinks there's a group aspect impliciit in this term, I commend to your attention this from a tiny outfit called Trygg-Hansa:

"Huvudförfallodag
Huvudförfallodag är den dag då en försäkringstagares avtal med försäkringsbolaget endera löper ut eller förlängs. I samband med huvudförfallodag har försäkringsgivaren även möjlighet att ändra försäkringspremien eller försäkringsvillkoren för avtalad försäkring."

Peer comment(s):
disagree Sven Petersson : You forgot to translate the "huvud-". Addendum: Your libertymutural glossary does not seem to contain any information relevant for the translation of "hffd".

You forgot that you're not familiar with insurance terminology in English. See http://www.libertymutual.com/insurance-glossary for an example. Still confused? See the Trygg-Hansa link I provided and the other one.
agree Agneta Pallinder : Charles' references are compelling.

neutral Anna Herbst : Expiry date outside the US, but renewal date is closer to the Swedish term.
