NJSOP's Auto, Homeowners and Umbrella Coverage Insurance Program can help you combat the high cost and affordability of auto and homeowner's insurance in New Jersey. Under NJSOP's plan, members and their families can receive substantial discounted rates. (Paraoptimetrics would be eligible to join as well.) The Auto Insurance program offers many important benefits to drivers such as: a designated 800 number for policy changes, questions and claims that is open 24/7; roadside assistance; and dividend checks issued annually (based on profitability).
