In order to allow claimants ample time to evaluate their losses the deadline for filing a proof of loss to the insured has been extended by the NFIP for Sandy claims only to one year from the date of loss. The speedy claims process provides a method for claimants to dispute the amount of the claims payment by sending a sworn proof of loss before the one year anniversary of the date of loss. Receiving this payment based upon the adjuster's report will not prohibit an insured from seeking additional payment under his or her policy where coverage limits have not been exhausted. As part of this rapid claims process and under this waiver, the insurer will send the insured the payment for the covered loss, a copy of the adjuster's report, and a letter explaining this rapid claims procedure. The NFIP issued Bulletin W-12092 today that documents a revised claims process allowing the covered flood policy loss to be paid by the insurer as soon as practicable after the insurer receives and reviews the adjusters report. “The revised NFIP process helps us get Fidelity/Wright flood policyholders their claims checks faster but also includes a method for the claimant to provide information to us if they feel there is need for further review of their claim.” We are fully embracing the new speedier process to get claims checks to our policyholders as outlined by the NFIP today,” noted Jeff Moore, VP of Claims at Wright Flood. “At Wright Flood we deliver benefits from the NFIP flood policy to our policyholders as fast as possible following the guidelines of the NFIP.
