Denenberg has announced the approval of two homeowners insurance rate cuts which will save 120,000 Pennsylvania policyholders over $700,000 annually. The ‘wo companies are Erie Insurance Exchange, the seventh largest writer of home- owners insurance in Pennsyl- vania, and the Aetna Casualty & Surety Company. Aetna’s premium reduction came in response to Denen- berg’s request, made May 24, that all major insurance companies file new auto and homeowners rates within 30 days. Mos! insurnace companies, Denenberg said, have been granted extensions of that dead- line to examine the impact of the 60-day price freeze on insur- ance rates. No insurance rate hikes may take effect during the freeze and the controls of Phase 4 are as yel unknown. Denenberg said that only one request for a homeowners rate increase has been received in response to his letter. That request was made by the Transportation Insurance Rating Bureau (TIRB), which represents 56 smaller com- panies. TIRB requested an average rate hike of 27.1 per- The Dallas Post Has A Variety Of Wedding Stationery 675-5211 Insurance Cuts cent which would cost approxi- ‘mately 200,000 policyholders $5.4 million. Denenberg said that the TIRB filing was ‘‘deficient’” and could not be approved. The new rates requested by Erie Insurance Exchange are a flat 10 percent reduction from present premium levels for all policyholders. Erie has ap- proximately 92,000 policy- holders for homeowners insur- ance; lotal yearly savings will be just over $500,000. Aelna’s 32,000 Pennsylvania policyholders will save approxi- mately $210,000 annually. Decreases range from 1.5 percent in Philadelphia and Allegheny County to eight percent in Ceniral Pennsyl- vania; Philadelphia surburbs will receive a 6.0 percent reduc- tion, STOP-BUY Bruce F'.
