Insurance Premium Assistance – Deferrals

Ohio Department of Insurance:  ODI Director Jillian Froment issued an order that all health insurers are required to provide the option of deferring premium payments, interest free, for up to 60 calendar days from each original premium due date. This means that employers can defer their premium payments up to two months, giving them some relief on costs, while keeping their employees insured.   

Ohio's Bureau of Workers' Compensation (BWC):  To help businesses facing difficulties due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Ohio BWC is announcing the deferment of insurance premium installment payments for March, April and May until June 1, 2020. For more information, visit bwc.ohio.gov.
