If your previous home insurance policy was cancelled for non-payment, the company you were insured with may choose not to reinstate the policy depending on your history with the company.

This will not disqualify you for obtaining insurance, however it may disqualify you from receiving a continuous coverage discount if they offer it.
You will have to check your home owner's policy. It is a contract that you have with the insurance company and will specify how long you have to file a claim.
