Hopefully this is the right place to post. Did AHCCCS get harder to qualify for in terms of paperwork or proof requirements? When I applied in 2021 I just sent in bank statements. Now they want 7 different pieces of evidence to prove self employment for my wife. She makes like $5k per year and is thinking about not working all together to qualify. When we called to ask them about not working, they said we’d have to prove that too… WTH ! Thanks,

My question in the title does not in anyway mean as an attack, simply my genuine curiosity based on my personal experience. My parents recently migrated to California so we went to a certified enrollment counselor in NorCal. For some reason this counselor keeps pushing BenefitsCal and also to sign up for her clinic's health care plan. I am already a Kaiser member myself, so I wished to sign my parents up for Kaiser as well. But she kept pushing back, I assume because she benefited if we signed up for her orgs plan. The whole thing made me very uncomfortable. Wondering if anyone has experiencedthe same?

So a few months back my secondary health plan changed because I made too much money to stay on the plan that covered the payments which my primary insurance didn’t cover for my therapy appointments. Today, I get a call from the therapist saying a few things: They didn’t have my secondary listed anymore(not sure why), my insurances United and mass health were not aware of each-other, and now I owe $550 for past appointments. What’s really annoying is when I had this insurance plan change, I made sure to talk to my therapist and office asking to make sure I was still covered, and I don’t remember if they gave me a *clear* yes or no, but I remember being told that it should be fine. My personal line that I drew for myself with therapy is I would stop going the second I had to pay a dime out of pocket for it(it’s been almost 2 years since I’ve started) So my question is there any legal repercussions if I don’t pay a dime to this debt? What options should I explore, if any at all. Do I just make a payment plan for 1 dollar a month? lol Obviously I feel very wronged by this, and insurance companies won’t give a damn about me telling them “oh no I thought I was covered”. Thanks for any input.

I feel stupid for falling for Northwestern Mutual’s whole life policy sales pitch when I was in my early 20’s when I clearly had no dependents or need to have such a policy. I finally came to my senses recently and cancelled the policy, took the relatively small cash value and ran. My question really is how is that ethical for NWM to be preying on recent college grads to bring in high commission policies they do not need? The number one sign I did the right thing in cancelling my policy was how angry my “advisor” got when I stood my ground on our call.

So this is a bit long and involved. I’m a 25M who just moved back home to take over a family business after a family member was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. We have a block of commercial units we rent out, most of them under one roof, and two units disconnected from the main building. In total we have about 75,000 SF of commercial retail space. Problem is when the landlord has Alzheimer’s they forget to do important things like carrying insurance on the main building with 65,000 SF. So I went to the insurance agency we’ve always went through for literally everything commercial or otherwise. They insisted for two months that I had coverage on all the properties (unfortunately I don’t have that in writing) despite being unable to provide a bill or declarations listing the units. It took me ambushing the agent at the office an hour away and showing her a map of the property for her to understand that despite the disconnected units being covered, the main building and parking lot carried no coverage. She had never even audited the property or looked at it on maps nor visited it. She finally says she’ll get working on adding the main units to the policy, and today she emails me right before she leaves to tell me there is no way possible for auto-owners to cover us as we have two restaurants on the property (my gf used to work as a receptionist at a different agency auto-owners does do commercial coverage for restaurants in my area). So now I’m stuck here with no insurance on a multimillion dollar lot because I get the feeling the agent doesn’t feel like rewriting the policy. All of my families coverage for everything is through this agency and auto-owners but the agency is incompetent at the very least and it’s evident I need to switch agencies at least. The only experience I have with insurance prior to this is renters insurance and personal auto, I’m really at a loss for where to start or what I should be switching around. Any advice or guidance is appreciated.

I was a USAA member for 18 years, 15 of which with a good driving record. For a 11 of those years I served in the US Army, with 10 combat deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan. I was awarded the Bronze Star, among other honors. I was discharged honorably. After the military about three years ago I was going through traumatic personal issues and often drove distracted. During a 12 month period I was in a series of low impact auto accidents. Two of them were just backing into somebody’s fender in a parking lot. However 6 months after the last accident the computer at USAA determined I was too high risk and without providing any kind of appeal process sent me an automated letter informing me they would no longer cover me. I called and I was informed that there was no appeal process for the computers decision. The computer didn’t request my military record, nor consider my driving record for 15 years prior to that, and the humans at USAA would only listen to a computer that doesn’t understand nor care about context or give credit for military service. I was informed that there was no human being capable of overriding the computer’s decision at any level of the company. I’ve tried every major insurance company, and all of the minor ones that I can find, and they all use the same computer algorithm. I was never impaired. I didn’t hurt anybody. I’m not required to be on an SR 22. I have a valid drivers license. .. and I cannot get auto insurance. Recently, I did find two places that would insure me, .. for $2000 a month.. I have been unable to work for close to a year. Soon, I will lose my house. Does anybody know of any insurance company where human beings are still allowed to make their own determination? Is there any way to get commercial auto insurance through an LLC that doesn’t require my driving record? Is there any way to challenge my driving record, or have it improved? Or anything that I can do to convince the computer, or any person I could talk to at the state level or in the private sector that might be able to help me? I’ve tried everything I can think of. I don’t know where else to go. Thank you in advance 🙏🏻

I was in a minor fender bender in a parking lot. Other driver was turning into main drive. I was passing a car that was stopped so I was hard to see. I had minor scrape to left front bumper and other driver had minor scrape to left front. Probably about $1,000 damage to each car. Exchanged info, he's an attorney who does work for state farm. I had camera in car, but actual collision was on side so actual impact not shown. Sent my info and video to State Farm. Got an answer in one day. Was told it was inconclusive, and no one was at fault. So, we both pay our deductibles. It seemed like State Farm looked at the option that would cost the company the least, especially with the speed the determination took place.

I got involved with them on my 18th birthday, which was in November. I left at the end of December and told them I was moving to Houston. I got the life insurance policy when I joined since it was required, and I canceled it yesterday. Today, I got a call from the agent who recruited me. I told him I couldn't talk, but he said the contract required me to keep the life insurance policy for 17 months. I hung up, blocked him, and called my cousin since he also joined at the beginning of 2024 (recruited by the same person) and left shortly after. He canceled his policy as well. I told him about the call, and he said the agent called him too when he canceled his policy, telling him the same thing. He told the agent he didn't want it, and the agent said he would be sent to collections or something like that. I don't know if that's true but I don't know what to do.

Hi, I got into accident and my car was total loss. It had a loan amount of $40k. Primary insurance paid market value $32k and pending was $8k, which suppose to be covered by GAP. I went to Gap, submitted all documents. The purchase agreement I had was under the name of A (lets say) Autos and Gap document had name of B autos. These two different dealerships had partnership at that time. Now Gap asked for original bill of sale and I provided it by reaching out to B. Now both documents Bill of Sale and Gap have same dealer name on it and they denied my claim saying ‘dealer name mismatch’. They denied a document and then denied the claim on basis of document that was never accepted by them. Please tell me what should I do. Its been 8-9 months I’m dealing with dealer at B autos and he is just saying same thing every time that he is talking to Gap sometime they respond sometime dont. Sometime this guy doesn’t answer my calls. Its costing me my mental heath, time and money without owning a car. Any leads appreciated 🙏

I recently sold some commercial property and I'm looking for an umbrella policy or a large liability policy. My problem is I live in a home that belongs to my 88 year old mom with severe dementia. The home is in a life estate deed to me, I've cared for my mom a long time, I have no claim to the home until she passes away. We suffered significant hurricane damage, now seven months post hurricane repairs are just starting. I had to move my mom out of state with a sibling and mom is so frail she will never be able to return to her home. I am currently on the homeowners policy with my mom but expect there's going to be a problem with the current insurance company at renewal. My mom is out of state and I have no real rights to the home yet. My brother and I have POA but can't sign the deed over to me because mom has only social security and is going to need Medicaid soon. Medicaid does a five year look back. The home she owns is a mobile home, nice but not of great value. It's been in the enhanced life estate deed to me for many years. I do have a vacation home out of state, not a primary residence. I have Progressive car insurance. I called the company associated with them and they question the liability on my mom's home. I don't know if I will even have insurance on that home soon. I would need to raise my car insurance above 100,000/300,000 and the umbrella policy would be $900 a year. This policy seemed to depend on raising the liability insurance on my mom's home, possibility with a renters insurance policy, but that was questionable. I send money to my brother to help pay her care but it's not rent, she would then owe income tax on that and could be considered in kind help with medicaid. There must be others who don't own a home in the state they reside who have significant assets. I've never been in this position before. Can someone in the insurance industry advise how I can purchase a large liability policy?
