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.

the new drug tacrine, which has
p ro v en useful in m ild-to-

sions. incontenence and insom
nia. Several ideas for local respite
care were also shared.

fam ilies
and
frien d s
of

ta noted that 40 to 55 percent of

sion. Support groups offer a
“ s a fe ”
place to ex p ress
themselves to people who unders
tand their situation.
