CA| Due to the ongoing business disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, Commissioner Lara requests that the grace period to pay insurance premiums to be extended until July 14, 2020. Also, insurance companies should not cancel or non-renew a policyholder for failure to pay insurance premiums during this time period.
After the grace period ends, if a consumer has not been able to pay their outstanding premiums or worked with the insurance company on an alternate payment schedule, the insurance company should provide consumers with at least 10 days’ prior written notice of cancellation.
