Government-issued stimulus checks aren't the only source of new money for taxpayers right now, at this point during the coronavirus pandemic. Car insurance providers around the US, for example, have also been offering rebates to customers. The reason? Widespread lockdowns and the shift to work-from-home meant that, naturally, people were no longer on the road as much anymore. So it didn't seem fair to continue charging people the same amount of money according to their pre-COVID risk profile. At least, a temporary adjustment of some kind seemed to be in order.
That's why, in the early months of the pandemic, the insurer Allstate decided to offer partial refunds to customers. Specifically, for their April and May 2020 monthly premiums. What that amounted to was a return of more than $600 million in premiums to customers -- and more is coming elsewhere.
