Insurance Settlement Does Not Mean FEMA Ineligibility

Updated :: Fri, 05/08/2009

It could be that you informed FEMA shortly after Hurricane Ike that you had insurance.  You were likely then informed FEMA would determine your eligibility for further assistance after your insurance company has settled with you. 
 
If you have received your insurance settlement, it is important you provide that information to FEMA.  If the insurance settlement did not cover the cost of your damage, you may qualify for more FEMA assistance. 
 
It is important to remember that FEMA will only cover expenses that will make your home safe, secure and sanitary.  For example, if part of your roof is damaged, FEMA will not play to replace the entire roof.  Cosmetic replacements are not covered. 
 
For more information get your FEMA number ready and call 1-800-621-3361 (FEMA) or visit www.FEMA.gov.
