Background

Homeowners pay their pay insurance bills month after month, year after year,

but recent stories suggest that when homeowners file claims or even make

inquiries about filing claims, insurance companies respond by increasing

insurance rates or canceling policies. If so, it puts homeowners in a bind

every

time something happens to their home, forcing them to choose between eating the

costs of the repairs by paying out-of-pocket or filing a claim and risking

higher premiums or dropped coverage.

Oregon has passed a law to regulate these insurance practices. California is

considering regulations that would require insurance companies to tell their

customers whether rates will be raised or policies canceled after the filing

of a claim or claims. PennPIRG would like to investigate what improvements

are needed to Pennsylvania's laws to better protect homeowners here.

Your input will inform our work in Pennsylvania on the issue. Please take
