COVID-19 Information

The Commissioner of Securities and Insurance, Office of the Montana State Auditor is the state government agency that regulates insurance and securities. We are here to assist you with any insurance questions, concerns, or problems, whether related to COVID-19 or something else. The same goes for your investments and securities issues.

Please note that we are not a health care agency and cannot provide any medical advice or resources, and are a constitutionally separate office from the Governor, who controls all business closures, school closures, and other emergency executive orders. See the Montana Joint Information Center and Quick Links and Resources on the side of this webpage if you need COVID-19 information that is not related to insurance or securities.
