Letter to Commissioner Woods Regarding Release of Report on Unintentional Bias in Private Passenger Auto Insurance

CFA TC

The Consumer Federation of America (CFA) is urging the District of Columbia’s Department of Insurance Commissioner Karima Woods to publicly release a report on unintentional bias in auto insurance, which investigates the impact of non-driving factors like credit information and marital status on insurance rates. Initially expected in January 2024 but delayed, CFA emphasizes the importance of transparency in addressing unfair discrimination and the use of socioeconomic factors in insurance pricing, especially as auto insurance premiums rise. The report's findings are crucial for informing discussions on equitable insurance practices and supporting financially vulnerable consumers.
