National Flood Insurance Program Policyholder Protection Act of 2017

Bill 115 hr 2868, also known as the National Flood Insurance Program Policyholder Protection Act of 2017, aims to provide additional protections for policyholders of the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). The NFIP is a federal program that provides flood insurance to property owners in flood-prone areas.

The main provisions of the bill include requiring the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), which administers the NFIP, to provide policyholders with clear and easily understandable information about their coverage and rights. This is intended to ensure that policyholders are fully informed about their insurance policies and are able to make informed decisions about their coverage.

Additionally, the bill requires FEMA to establish an appeals process for policyholders who believe that their claims have been unfairly denied or underpaid. This process is designed to provide policyholders with a way to challenge FEMA's decisions and seek a fair resolution to their claims. Overall, the National Flood Insurance Program Policyholder Protection Act of 2017 aims to improve transparency and accountability within the NFIP and ensure that policyholders are treated fairly and have access to the information and resources they need to navigate the claims process.
