Postal Service Delays
Due to the impact of COVID-19, the US Postal Service is experiencing unprecedented volume increases and limited employee availability. As a result, important insurance documents, including bills and payments by check could be delayed. Mail delays have resulted in the cancellation or non-renewal of insurance policies for non-payment. This can happen because bills are not being delivered in a timely manner and vice versa for the payments. Most of the time insurance agency are willing to work with clients to address the late payment resulting from the mail delays. Below are a few steps you are able to take to protect yourself. Know when your payments are due: It would be best to call your insurance agent as soon as possible if you have not received your bill or not sure when your payment is due or how much you are obligated to pay. Also find out when your payments are due, how much you must pay, and where/how payments can be made. Please make sure that when you make that phone call
