Automatic Extension of Flood Insurance: Ensuring NFIP Program Stability.
This law establishes a mechanism for the automatic extension of the federal National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). This means that if Congress fails to pass new legislation before the program's expiration date, flood insurance coverage for homeowners and businesses will continue without interruption. This change ensures the continuity of financial protection and claims payments in the event of flooding, protecting citizens from sudden loss of coverage.
Key points
Preventing Lapses: The National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) will be automatically extended if Congress fails to act before its expiration date, ensuring operational continuity.
Continuity of Coverage: Citizens can continue to purchase, renew policies, and receive claims payments during the period of automatic extension.
Terms Remain Unchanged: During the automatic extension, the program's terms, rates, and funding limits will remain the same as they were previously.
