Rural Mutual Insurance Company, based in Madison, takes pride in
being knowledgeable about its local Wisconsin communities and neighborhoods. The COVID-19 pandemic has caused uncertainty and financial challenges for everyone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To help ease some of this financial burden, Rural Mutual is refunding 15% on two months of personal auto premiums to all active policyholders as of March 31, 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


This, in combination with the Rural Mutual Farm Dividend Program, will return approximately $3.5 million to customers in 2020. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since Rural Mutual only does business in Wisconsin, this monetary support
will go directly to local families, farmers and small businesses in Wisconsin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


No action is needed by their customers. Customers can expect to see these refund checks in the mail in the coming weeks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a result of Wisconsin\u2019s shelter-in-place order, people have been driving less and Rural Mutual has received fewer auto insurance claims over the past month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


\u201cWe are fortunate to be in a position to give back to our customers in a time when they need us most,\u201d said Dan Merk, Rural Mutual executive vice president and CEO. \u201cYou don\u2019t often see insurance companies give premiums back in the form of a refund, but I think many in the industry are stepping up and realizing this is the right thing to do.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
