We recently announced that pending regulatory approval, a credit of 15% will be applied to two months of premiums for those policies in force as of April 30 in recognition of the temporary reduction in vehicle miles driven. We are calling this credit our Feel Secure Auto credit. Premium returned benefits our 165,000 Personal Auto customers. The returned premiums will not impact agency commissions.

We expect the credit to be applied to the policyholder’s next premium balance or refunded if premium was paid in full beginning in May.

Helping support our policyholders and our community
In addition to providing this premium credits to policyholders, we continue to support all our customers and the greater community in a number of ways.
·        
  • Flexible billing – We are providing an extended 30-day premium grace period to allow customers more time to pay before cancellation notices are sent, and are also following state-specific directives. We are waiving late fees and reinstatement fees. Our Customer Contact Center representatives also have the authority switch a policyholder to a more convenient payment plan.
