New Mexico
On May 11, 2022, New Mexico Office of Superintendent of Insurance issued Emergency Order No. 2022-0041 (the “Emergency Order”) addressing fire emergencies in various parts of the State of New Mexico. The Order requests insurers licensed in New Mexico to take certain actions in order to assist policyholders who experienced losses as a result of, or have otherwise been affected by, the wildfires in the counties for which Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham has signed executive orders declaring states of emergencies: San Miguel County, Valencia County, Colfax County, Lincoln County, Mora County, Sandoval County and Sierra County (collectively, the “Executive Orders”).
Pursuant to the Executive Orders and Emergency Order, Chubb is providing policyholders impacted by the wildfires with a 90-day extension to pay premiums and waiving any charges resulting from policyholders’ inability to submit premium payments. Policyholders may also be eligible for a 6-month payment arrangement if they are unable to pay the delinquency after the 90-day grace period. Please note that the 90-day extension is not a waiver of policyholders’ obligation to pay premium.
Chubb policyholders in the affected area that require additional time to make premium payments should contact 1-800-682-4822. Any commercial lines policyholders in the affected area that require the same should contact 1-800-323-6129. For accident and health, policyholders should contact their agent or broker.
