The milestones it maps
- Notice. Policies require prompt notice. The target here is self-imposed; report as soon as you can.
- Temporary repairs. Mitigation protects the property and the claim. Keep every receipt.
- Proof of loss. If the carrier asks for a sworn proof of loss, many New York policies set a deadline counted from that request. Enter the request date and the calendar counts from it.
- Holdback recovery. The window to finish repairs and claim recoverable depreciation.
- Suit limitation. Many New York property policies limit lawsuits to two years from the loss. Treat this as a hard stop and speak with an attorney well before it.
Importing the calendar file
The .ics download works with Google Calendar, Apple Calendar and Outlook. Each milestone is an all-day event with a short description. Nothing is uploaded; the file is created in your browser.
Worth knowingAppraisal doesn’t pause every policy deadline automatically. If a suit-limitation date is approaching during appraisal, get legal advice about protecting it.
Next, check whether the file is ready with the appraisal readiness checkup.
Questions about this calculator
Are the default days correct for my policy?
They’re common figures, not your policy’s terms. Replace each with the number in your own policy.
Why does proof of loss use a separate date?
Because the deadline in many policies runs from the carrier’s written request, not from the date of loss.
Can I edit the events after importing?
Yes. Once imported they’re ordinary calendar events you can move, edit or set reminders on.
