The insurance world is going through major changes right now, especially for home and auto coverage. No matter where you are, this is a big deal.

Here's the scoop; Insurance companies are tightening up due to rising costs. Some are even stopping new policies altogether or leaving the market. It's a wild ride out there. Premiums are going up across the board - even if you haven't made a claim.

Home rebuild costs?🏠Up Car repair?🚗Up.? Medical bills?💉Up. Law suits? 💼 Up. Car accidents and fatalities?Up. It is affecting us all.

But fear not, there are ways to navigate this storm;
Think about higher deductibles to save cash.
Consider telematics for driving discounts.
Review your discounts with your agent.
Keep your policy active - lapses are tricky.
Bundle auto and home for savings.
Stick with a carrier for stability.
Drive safely and avoid tickets.
Save claims for the big stuff.

Go for an experienced agent to guide you.
Remember, agents are here to help you through this. We don't control rates, but we're in your corner. Stay kind and patient - we're all in this together 🤝

VERY proud to represent Allstate! We just announced that we are giving back 600 million to our clients as a result of the pandemic and the fact that people are driving less. Nobody made us do it, nobody had to sue. We simply did it on our own because it was the right thing to do. People are always asking corporate America to step up and not always put profit first. Well, this is a great example. Not insured with me? You should be. If you are a client make sure to have the Allstate App downloaded to get your money faster. Work has to be done with state regulators to get this done, but they are working on that as fast as they can.

From the letter I received this morning...

"We have helped customers rebuild their lives after catastrophes for 89 years, but nothing has been like the coronavirus pandemic. That said, our learnings still apply: act quickly and put people first. As a result, today we are taking actions to show customers what it means to be in Good Hands.

This crisis is pervasive. Given an unprecedented decline in driving, customers will receive a Shelter-in-Place Payback of more than $600 million over the next two months. This is fair because less driving means fewer accidents. We are also providing free identity protection for the rest of the year to all U.S residents who sign up, since our lives have become more digital.

Shelter-in-Place Payback
Allstate, Esurance and Encompass personal auto insurance customers will receive a Shelter-in-Place Payback. Most customers will receive 15% of their monthly premium in April and May, totaling more than $600 million. Customers will receive the money back through a credit to their bank account, credit card or Allstate account. The fastest way for customers to receive this payback is to utilize the Allstate Mobile app. We are working with state insurance regulators to move forward expeditiously."

NORTHBROOK, Ill., April 6, 2020 – Allstate (NYSE: ALL) is providing a Shelter-in-Place Payback to help its personal auto insurance…

This is what a legacy looks like. These checks are being delivered to the children (age 21 and 19) of an Allstate insured. The man, age 51, called his agent requesting to cancel his 1 million dollar policy in August. He was getting divorced and didn't think he needed the coverage. He had yet to return the signed cancellation, and passed just days later. Money can’t replace their dad but his girls will be okay financially.
Life Insurance isn't available once you know you need it. You have to get it when you're insurable. There comes a point when each of us becomes uninsurable. Get a plan started before you can't.
