There may be a provision as follows:
CHANGE OF OCCUPATION: If the insured be injured or contract
sickness after having changed his occupation to one classified by
the insurer as more hazardous than that stated in this policy or
while doing for compensation anything pertaining to an occupation
so classified, the insurer will pay only such portion of the
indemnities provided in this policy as the premium paid would
have purchased at the rates and within the limits fixed by the
insurer for such more hazardous occupation. If the insured
changes his or her occupation to one classified by the insurer as
less hazardous than that stated in this policy, the insurer, upon
receipt of proof of such change of occupation, will reduce the
premium rate accordingly, and will return the excess pro rata
unearned premium from the date of change of occupation or from
the policy anniversary date immediately preceding receipt of such
proof, whichever is the more recent. In applying this provision,
the classification of occupational risk and the premium rates
shall be such as have been last filed by the insurer prior to the
occurrence of the loss for which the insurer is liable or prior
to date of proof of change in occupation with the state official
having supervision of insurance in the state where the insured
resided at the time this policy was issued; but if such filing
was not required, then the classification of occupational risk
and the premium rates shall be those last made effective by the
insurer in such state prior to the occurrence of the loss or
prior to the date of proof of change in occupation.
