(Dubuque, Iowa April 16th, 2020) – American Family Insurance is returning $200 million to its auto insurance customers following a decrease in driving and accident-claims from the COVID-19 pandemic. The premium relief plan was recently approved by state insurance regulators. Customers will receive payments in the form of a check they can use as they wish.
“As part of the Tri-State community, I know how the COVID-19 pandemic is impacting our customers and others,” said Michael Pennington an American Family Insurance agency owner in Dubuque. “I’m proud to be able to assist customers, who are at the center of everything we do.”
The premium relief will come as a one-time full payment of $50 per vehicle covered by an American Family personal auto policy. The typical American Family household with auto coverage has two vehicles, meaning the average relief check will be $100.
Payments will be mailed to IA, IL and WI customers in the near future and American Family expects to complete the printing and distribution of all checks within 60 days.
Relief payments are based on personal auto policies in force as of March 11, 2020, the date the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a pandemic.
Support for communities
The Michael Pennington Agency has supported the Tri-State community by working closely with both Opening Doors and Junior Achievement of the Heartland.
In addition, the American Family Insurance group, the American Family Dreams Foundation and the Steve Stricker American Family Insurance Foundation will provide more than $6.8 million to COVID-19 relief and other non-profits, including through a 2-to-1 match for charitable donations given by its agency owners and employees in their local communities.
