Interim Insurance Commissioner TK Keen is set to join AARP's teletown hall event, which aims to address pressing insurance issues faced by residents across Oregon. Scheduled for today at 2 p.m., the hour-long virtual session will offer real-time guidance on a range of insurance coverage options, including those related to long-term care, rentals, and homeowners policies. Interested individuals can tune in via AARP's Facebook page or call in with their questions at 855-962-1510.
"I’m looking forward to coming on and helping explain the different types of insurance that is available to Oregonians," Keen shared, expressing enthusiasm over the opportunity to guide and educate, particularly the senior community—often the unwitting mark for deceitful schemes, as reported by the DFR website. Keen's dual role as the administrator of the Oregon Division of Financial Regulation empowers him to regulate not just insurance markets, but also to extend oversight to financial institutions, consumer loans, and a range of financial services.
Insurance complexities and the vulnerability to scams pose a profound challenge, especially in communities where information is a luxury not evenly distributed, and Keen’s expertise will aim to bridge these gaps. The Oregon Division of Financial Regulation encourages individuals who suspect unfair treatment from their insurance company or financial institution, or who believe they may have been the victim of a scam, to reach out for support from one of its consumer advocates. Contact can be made through a toll-free number, 888-877-4894, or via email at [email protected].
