MPI Premium Rebate Facts

Manitoba Public Insurance is putting almost 580,000 premium rebate cheques in the mail by May 13. Here’s what the insurer is saying about this rebate:

Who should expect a rebate?

Drivers will receive a rebate if they paid Basic Autopac premiums for the 2009/10 insurance year. This is for policies that were started between March 1, 2009 and February 28, 2010.

How much will received?

• The average rebate will be about $450.
• Individual rebates will equal 45 per cent of the Basic Autopac premium paid for the 2009/10 insurance year. It excludes any premiums paid for optional Autopac like lower deductibles, higher third party limits, or Auto Loss of Use among others.
• A rebate is based on the net premium paid. It’s calculated after any credits or refunds have been applied. It excludes any administration or registration fees, or interest paid to finance your premium.
• The total amount refunded this year is $320 million.

Why this rebate is being provided

The unprecedented $320 million rebate is the result of the annual actuarial review of the Corporation’s claims reserves by the external appointed actuary. The Public Utilities Board, under Order 43/11, ordered this rebate at the first opportunity to be returned to ratepayers.
