Insurance Talk

What do you have to be concerned with when volunteering or hiring volunteers?  Today, let's talk about a few scenarios and coverage in the event of an accident.  

Today, we are talking about something that we don't normally see, which is the COVID special enrollment for health insurance that's happening right now in Oregon. It started February 15th and it goes through May 15th. This is a once in a lifetime special enrollment, I don't think we're going to see this again.

One of our topics today is that the economy's tough right now. A lot of people are out of work and we just want to give a couple of tips about how to save some money on their auto insurance to make this time a little less stressful. We're not going to make it non-stressful, that's not something I can do or we can do in total. But I think there are a couple of things that they could do to reduce their premium a little bit.

This is a pretty timely topic. We talked about how we can save money with your personal insurance on a previous podcast. Now, we're going to talk about how your business can save money on its insurance costs during this time when things are tough.
