Description of Program and Relief
Extension of Insurance Premium Grace Periods and Moratorium on Certain Late Fees, Interest, and Other Charges Associated With Delays in Premium Payments
A minimum 90-day grace period is now required for life insurance, insurance premium-financing arrangements, and property and casualty insurance premium payments, and a minimum 60-day grace period is now required for health and dental insurance policy premium payments. During the grace periods, certain insurance companies are not able to cancel policies for nonpayment of premiums. Insurance companies will be required to notify policyholders of this emergency grace period and to waive certain late fees, interest, or other charges associated with delays in premium payments. Insurance companies will also be required to pay any claim incurred during the emergency grace period that would be covered under the policy and any unpaid premium will be amortized over the remainder of the policy term or a period of up to 12 months following the end of the emergency grace period.
