California's major home insurers are likely to raise rates soon. Here's why
California home insurance companies could begin requesting rate increases within weeks, after state regulators approved a key step that will undergird new rate filings. Insurance rates have soared in California in recent years, but insurers say they still don't reflect the cost of doing business in the expensive, wildfire-prone state. To prevent insurers from further pulling back coverage or leaving the state, the California Department of Insurance recently enacted a set of reforms, called the Sustainable Insurance Strategy, that will make it easier for insurers to justify rate increases — though the state plans to ensure that the carriers continue to cover, and even expand, in parts of the state considered at risk for wildfires. A key step in the reform process occurred last week, when the Department of Insurance said it would allow insurers to use a catastrophe model to evaluate future risks. Previously, insurers have only been allowed to use backwards-looking information as the basis for rate increase requests — and thus could not take global warming or other predicted future changes into account. Insurers and regulators have long said that a more accurate assessment of future risks is critical for them to remain viable in California. California is an outlier: Other states already allow carriers to forecast risks using catastrophe models. The newly approved model was created by the New Jersey company Verisk. Two other catastrophe models, made by Moody's and Karen Clark, are now under review, according to Deputy Insurance Commissioner Michael Soller. 'I'm expecting (that) within a matter of weeks we could have our first filing from a major carrier,' Soller said in an interview Thursday. Exactly how much rates are likely to rise in the immediate future is unknown, and will undoubtedly vary by insurer. Mercury, a Los Angeles-based insurer that is one of California's largest carriers, said it is currently preparing a rate change request for homeowners insurance using the Verisk model. 'The move is a direct result of the ongoing implementation of (Insurance Commissioner Ricardo Lara's) Sustainable Insurance Strategy, which the company believes will provide California homeowners with more insurance options and lead to a more resilient insurance marketplace,' the company said. The use of catastrophe models is one of several key changes made by Lara under his Sustainable Insurance Strategy. Another key change is allowing insurers to partially pass on the cost of reinsurance (insurance for insurance companies) to policyholders — something not previously allowed in California, though it is common in other states. As soon as they file for updated rates, insurance companies will be required to tell regulators if they plan to write new policies, and if so, how many new policies. Insurers will also be asked to describe how they'll be seeking new policies to write — for example, if they'll offer full coverage to customers whom they partially cover under a companion policy to California's FAIR plan. (The FAIR Plan is California's insurer of last resort and covers only damage from wildfires, whereas traditional insurers include other risks such as liability and plumbing problems.) There have been virtually no rate increase requests filed after the devastating Los Angeles wildfires in January. In prior years, large rate increase requests tended to flow in after major fires, Soller said. But this time, insurers have been waiting for the catastrophe models to be approved. 'It's why we are doing this,' Soller said, noting that really large rate increases after wildfires are 'not a sustainable path for us.'

Pentagon accepts 'unconditional donation' of Qatari jet, agreement says: Sources
The Trump administration has accepted the 'unconditional donation' of a luxury jet from Qatar, with no stipulation on what should happen to the aircraft after President Donald Trump leaves office, according to an agreement reviewed by ABC News. The memorandum of understanding, or MOU, was signed earlier this month by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Qatar's Minister of State for Defense Affairs, Soud bin Abdulrahman Al-Thani. The deal paves the way for the Air Force to begin the process of retrofitting the plane -- dubbed a 'flying palace' because of its luxurious finishes -- for the president's use. MORE: Pentagon accepts luxury jet from Qatar to use as Air Force One Sources told ABC News earlier this year that after the president left office, the plan called for transferring ownership of the plane to the Trump presidential library foundation. The cost of refurbishing the plane is classified, although lawmakers have speculated that it could cost as much as $1 billion. The Air Force referred questions on the deal to Hegseth's office, which referred a reporter back to the Air Force. 'Why would we ask the American taxpayer to spend upwards of $1 billion on a plane that would then only be used for a handful of months and then transfer directly to the president? That doesn't sound like a wise use of taxpayer dollars,' said Sen. Chris Murphy, D-N.Y., during a Senate hearing in June. MORE: Qatar's luxury jet donation poses significant security risks, experts say Air Force Secretary Troy Meink told lawmakers that the money to refurbish the jet would be pulled from a program intended to replace aging nuclear missiles, called the Sentinel intercontinental ballistic missile program. But Meink said the Sentinel nuclear program, which is over budget, wouldn't be immediately impacted because it was being restructured. Trump has long complained about the primary aircraft used in the current Air Force One fleet, which are Boeing 747-200 jumbo jets that have been operational since 1990. The Air Force is under contract with Boeing to replace those aircraft. 'The aircraft is donated in its current condition ('as is'), without any guarantees or warranties, unless otherwise agreed upon in future arrangements,' the new memo states. 'The donation is unconditional, and the aircraft may be used or disposed of by the DOD in its sole discretion, in any manner it deems appropriate, so long as such use or disposal remains in accordance with United States laws,' the memo later adds. Nothing in the agreement should be 'interpreted or construed' as 'an offer, promise, or acceptance of any form of bribery, undue influence, or corrupt practice,' the memo adds, calling it a 'bona fide gift.' The Washington Post first reported the details of the agreement.

Home Depot denies claims of cooperation with ICE deportations
With the Trump administration pulling off all brakes for a wide-scale deportation campaign, businesses both big and small have felt pressure to take a stance against the targeting of migrants. Avelo Airlines, a Houston-based low-cost airline that serves many secondary markets, spurred a wave of protests across different cities for continuing to use three of its Boeing 737-800s (BA) planes to run deportation flights for U.S. Customs and Immigration Enforcement (ICE). Don't miss the move: Subscribe to TheStreet's free daily newsletter Back in May, chief executive Andrew Levy added further fuel to the fire by saying that the contract to "support the Department's deportation efforts" was "controversial [but...] too valuable not to pursue." The latest company to fall under the radar of how it can help or hinder Trump's deportation campaign is home goods chain giant Home Depot (HD) . Parking lots of store locations in several parts of California became the main target for ICE raids this summer. In one standoff at the start of June, federal agents rounded up and took away over 40 day laborers people at a location in the Westlake neighborhood of Los Angeles. Parking lots in front of the store often end up becoming gathering spots for those looking for temporary work. Many laborers come from Latin American countries such as Guatemala, Nicaragua, and Honduras and get offered day jobs from small employers who come to the parking lots to seek them out. "They are trying to earn a living and have a tough decision to make: pop my head out and get deported or don't and can't support my family," George Carrillo, who heads the national Hispanic Construction Council, said to CNBC. Related: Home Depot makes a startling closure amid concerning trend As a result, many rumors around what role Home Depot itself is playing in these round-ups have circulated on social media. To contradict them, representatives have been replying under posts claiming that the retailer has accepted a $250 million Department of Homeland Security (DHS) contract for access to their parking lots to conduct deportations. "Hi, this story is false," Home Depot wrote under one such post. "We don't have contracts with DHS or ICE. We aren't notified that ICE activities are going to happen, and we aren't involved in them." Under another post making a similar claim on July 27, Home Deport similarly stated that these claims "are false" and that it "isn't involved" in any raids. Even so, Home Depot has faced mounting pressure to speak out against the campaigns in the communities they operate in. Some social media users have called for a boycott, while others have been replying under every post on the Home Depot account with questions about what it is doing to close off store grounds to deportations. "Why have you continued to allow ICE raids on your properties?" one commenter with the profile name Laurie wrote under Home Depot's denial of signing an ICE contract.
