To support consumers during this crisis, the Oregon Department of Consumer and Business Services (DCBS) issued a temporary emergency order that requires all insurance companies to:
- Institute a grace period for premium payments on all insurance policies issued in the state
- Suspend all cancellations and non-renewals for active insurance policies
- Extend all deadlines for consumers to report claims and communicate about claims
- Provide consumers the ability to make premium payments and report claims while maintaining safe social distancing standards
The order will be in force through April 23. If necessary, the department may extend the duration of this temporary order. If you have questions or concerns about your insurance company or agent, contact DCBS’s advocacy team at 888-877-4894 or visit dfr.oregon.gov for more information or to file a complaint.
