Q. My current car insurance policy runs out at the end of the month and I will not be renewing with them. I am getting a new car approx 2 weeks before the expiry date. Can i start the insurance with another company and 'overlap' the insurance ?
A. You CAN do that since you are changing anyway.
You might want to notify your PRIOR insurance company once you have the NEW coverage in force - just to avoid any duplication of coverage and any "earned premium." If the company automatically renews and you don't inform them, they might try to collect for the time you had coverage in force.
Just show them a copy of your NEW policy and they will cancel the old.
That's the way it SHOULD be done.
Good luck, drive RESPONSIBLY and I hope this helps!

Insurance question, looking to start a business, elder home care in Wisconsin.How to become bonded and insured?
Q. I don't think my insurance company (American Insurance) offers bond and insurance for someone in my field. Also need affordable health insurance with relatively low deductible. Any suggestions would be helpful.
A. You'll need to talk with two agents. The first will be a commercial insurance agent for the business. The second will be a health insurance agent. Make sure both are able to represent several different companies.

How quickly are insurance companies supposed to provide COBRA information after your insurance ends?
Q. I had active insurance until November 2010. Now, the insurance company is saying that it was actually cancelled through my husband's company in June and are requesting the monies back from doctors. However, they didn't even send out COBRA information to me until November 23. Can they do this?
A. How, exactly, did it come to be that your husband's company cancelled his insurance in June?
If the EMPLOYER cancelled the group plan, and no longer has health insurance, then there IS no cobra. Cobra is just a CONTINUATION of whatever the people still employed, have for insurance. If they have nothing, there's nothing to continue.
If the employer sends the COBRA information late, the date they mailed it, starts the clock ticking on the 60 days you have to accept or decline. So, you're within DAYS, and if you WANT to keep it, you can - the catch is, you have to RETROACTIVELY pay your premium for the insurance. There's no "free insurance". So, that would be July through January, and February's payment would be due February 1st.
Yes, they can do this. They're SUPPOSED to notify you within 45 days. Their failure to do that, gives you EXTRA TIME to decide if you want to keep it or not.
