What's @Allstate doing with that COVID windfall instead of providing more relief to policyholders? Buying back stock chicagobusiness.com/insurance/alls…

Following action from @CFPB, the 3 largest credit reporting agencies are changing the way medical debt is reported. This will greatly benefit people of color, low-income earners & ppl w/ disabilities. More in Health Policy Minute bit.ly/3ytL4jN >> via @CommCatHealth

Auto insurers in Illinois have pulled in the dough during the pandemic, newly-released data shows. And the money that boosted their bottom lines often far outpaced the "pandemic relief" refunds insurers ballyhooed in the first months of the pandemic. bit.ly/3bMxm3R

I am appalled that these companies overcharged families sheltering at home and call on the insurers to issue additional refunds promptly. This is particularly important in Black communities, where auto insurers indiscriminately charge higher rates. chicagobusiness.com/insurance/alls…

The monthly child poverty rose to 16.6 percent in May, levels similar to those seen earlier this year in the wake of the expiration of the monthly expanded Child Tax Credit payments at the end of 2021. Poverty is a policy choice. bit.ly/3ue22S9

Unfortunately, IL regulators lack key powers to protect insurance customers. IL regulators have no power to block or modify insurance rate hikes -- or to mandate reductions or refunds -- as regulators do in other states. IL law does not even prohibit "excessive" rates

Yasmin Farahi of @CRLONLINE tells the Midwest Asset Building Conference that there have been some exciting developments to #StopTheDebtTrap in the Midwest like in NE, SD, & IL but also increased efforts in some states (like IN) to expand dangerous predatory lending.

Excited for two in-person gatherings with fellow Midwesterners this week, with @NACEDAtweets’ Midwest Caucus and the #MABC22 both in Saint Paul. Looking forward to great conversations about setting the bar high for community economic development and asset-building in the Midwest!
