OLYMPIA, Wash. — Washington state Insurance Commissioner Mike Kreidler is urging insurance companies to extend the additional living expenses benefit for wildfire victims who are nearing their 12-month limit on that specific coverage.
Additional living expenses coverage provides people the funds to pay for temporary housing while their primary residence is being rebuilt. Many policies have a clause that ends this coverage after 12 months.
Kreidler also requested information from insurance companies on losses associated with the Gray and Oregon Road fires through a data call announced Monday, June 24.
