FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
MMA Information Update: AGO Releases Refund Calculator
The Massachusetts Motorcycle Association (MMA) is pleased to announce that the Massachusetts Attorney General’s Office (AGO) has released a website which will allow motorcycle owners to query whether they are due a refund from their Insurance Carrier.
The AGO “Motorcycle Insurance Refund Lookup” is available online here:
http://www.motorcycle.ago.state.ma.us/motorcycle_insurance/process_request.action
The website represents only those calculations which have been completed by the AGO and the insurance companies. One important thing to note is that the Insurance Policy Number must be entered exactly as it’s found on the Policy.
This announcement by the AGO is part of a larger announcement concerning the Safety Insurance Refund process having been started:

This process was announced by the MMA on September 1st, the text of which can be found here:

The AGO has reached agreements with Liberty Mutual, Quincy Mutual, Safety Insurance, Plymouth Rock, Pilgrim Insurance, USAA, and Metropolitan Property & Casualty. With Liberty, Quincy, and Safety now having issued or in the process of issuing their refunds, the remainder are expected to begin their mailings in the coming weeks.
“This comes at a critical time,” commented Doc D’Errico, MMA Safety & Education Director, “with 3 of the earliest carriers already issuing checks but at least 4 others who’ve yet to start their mailings, many Motorcyclists are frustrated with not knowing whether they’re due any money! This is a great demonstration of the AGO’s continued commitment to the Motorcyclists.”
The AGO agreements with the Insurance Carriers represent average refunds to consumers around $300 with some consumers receiving significantly more. Motorcyclists who’ve had insurance policies including Comprehensive and/or Collision in Massachusetts since 2002 are urged to contact their insurance carrier or email MyRefund@MassMotorcycle.org with your insurance carrier and contact information (if moved, please include past contact information). All information is kept confidential and will only be shared with the carrier and AGO.
