MESSAGE –A Special Announcement from the
California-Pacific Conference of the United Methodist Church – Tuesday, 26
November 2013 - Announcing No Property and Casualty Premium Rate Increase in
2014!
Loss control workshops in 2012 resulted
in a 65% reduction in claims and no rate increase for 2013. This year, our commitment to claims reduction
and further negotiation yielded us the same premium rate as well as coverage
enhancements and additional coverage for 2014.
Enhancements apply to the following
coverage:
Building Damage Coverage - In the event
any one of your buildings were damaged, the cost to remove debris and the
additional cost of construction to comply with current building codes is now
covered under your policy for an increased amount of $350,000 for demolition
cost and $350,000 for increase cost of construction. This increased limit
applies to each and every building you have insured under the policy.
Sexual Abuse and Molestation Coverage -
The total limit of liability insurance for sexual abuse and/or molestation
allegations is now increased from $2,000,000 to $3,000,000 at no additional
cost to your church. This was done by increasing the sub-limit on the Umbrella
Liability Policy.
Cyber Liability Insurance - Now provided
in the amount of $100,000 with a $10,000 deductible to protect your church in
the event of an internet security breach and to provide coverage for the cost
of complying with Federal Notification Laws if a breach were to occur. There is
a very minimal monthly premium charge of $25 that will be added in the premium
cost of local church (Nesting churches are excluded from paying the cost).
Those churches and ministries that operate a website, will be asked to have the
person operating the web site attend an on-line webinar to learn how to protect
the privacy of your members and what security measures you can implement to
reduce your risks.
We are also planning on offering loss
control workshops again in the beginning of next year. Announcements will
proceed once the dates, speakers and locations are finalized.
Thank you in advance for your efforts in
maintaining your facilities, conducting regular safety inspections and for
being good stewards of all God has entrusted to us. May we all use our gifts
and blessings for God’s glory and make Disciples of Christ Jesus through our
work and lives.
With gladness and gratefulness,
Archana Carey,
Treasurer/Executive Director of Finance
& Facilities
