If your Wawanesa renewal in California came in higher, this is the source: Wawanesa filed for a rate increase (SERFF WAWA-134754803) and it was approved at +6.0%. The figures below are approved filings pulled from the public SERFF system — not estimates — and every one links to its filing.
Wawanesa asked for more than it got.
The filing shows an indicated need of +6.9% — the increase Wawanesa’s own actuarial analysis said it required — against the +6.0% it actually took. That gap matters for what comes next: a carrier that took less than it indicated has an unclosed gap, and the remainder often arrives in a later filing rather than disappearing.
Other California insurers are cutting.
An increase is only worth acting on relative to the alternatives, and in California the direction is not uniform: State Farm (−6.2%) filed decreases in the same period. A Wawanesa increase alongside competitor cuts is the clearest signal there is that the market has moved and your renewal has not.
