Natural Disaster Risk Reinsurance Program: Protecting Home Insurance

This act establishes a new federal program to protect insurance companies from bankruptcy after major natural disasters. The goal is to keep home and residential rental insurance affordable, ensuring claims are paid even after severe events. The program applies to covered events occurring on or after January 1, 2024.
Key points
The program aims to protect insurers from insolvency after major disasters, ensuring stability in the residential insurance market.
Participation is voluntary for states, which must submit a plan to ensure claims are covered and federal funds are repaid within 10 years.
In cases of excessive insured losses, the federal government will provide payments to participating states to help cover claims, with states obligated to repay these funds.
The program covers property and casualty insurance for single-family and multifamily residences, excluding flood insurance.
