Premium Grace Period Extension
Update as of 4/28/20: Premium deferral for 60 days after the DC Public Health Emergency ends on May 15th is being extended automatically. Because premium payments are due at the end of each month, premium will be due by July 31, 2020. In addition, an automatic 12 month repayment period is being granted. Therefore, if a client missed payments before the emergency was declared or cannot make payments during the 60 day extended grace period, 12 months to repay premium will be automatically granted without late fees or interest.
