MGR-20-005: COVID-19 and Crop Insurance Deadlines
Background
Many state and local governments have issued “stay at home” orders in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, which may preclude agents from meeting with policyholders or potential policyholders to obtain signatures associated with various reporting requirements, written agreements, and the purchase of new coverage or adjustments to current policy elections. In the absence of “stay at home” orders, agents may be unable to meet in-person with policyholders and potential policyholders due to concerns of spreading COVID-19.
