Keep insurance when income reduced During times of reduced in come, it is important to maintain your property insurance, says Carol Michael-Bennett Morrow County Extension agent. Homeowners insurance pro tects you in case o f losss or damage to your property. When your income drops, Michael-Bennett, advises if you are unable to make an insurance payment, call or write your in surance agent or insurance com pany. Explain your situation and offer to consider a different pay ment plan. Check to see if smaller premiums are possible through: changing to monthly, quarterly, semi-annual payment plan with the same coverage; changing to a more basic coverage; or chang ing the deductible. When there is a loss in income, it is extremely important to be realistic about your financial situation and meet it with a plan. “ When Income is Reduced- Keep House Insurance" is part of a series featuring ways to manage between jobs. Oregon State University Extension Service has a number of free publications available on the topic. Call the Extension office 676-9642, or 1-800-342-3664 and ask for EC 1391 Setting Spending Priorities and EC 1395 Keeping a Roof Overhead.
