The U.S. Senate is expected to take up the legislation in the coming days, which is needed to avoid a government shutdown and a lapse in the NFIP.

The National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) is scheduled to expire on the same date as government funding, which will expire tomorrow if legislation is not passed.

Advocacy efforts by the Big “I” proved successful on many fronts and several damaging provisions have been dropped from the legislation.

The Big “I” successfully advocated to remove several damaging provisions, including a cap on the 20% small business deduction and tax rate increases that would have impacted Big “I” members organized as pass-through businesses.

The legislation to extend the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) includes several controversial items, such as capping Write-Your-Own (WYO) compensation at 22.46% of written premiums.

The three bills introduced today aim at reforming the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) with the intention of growing the private market.

Training webinars for ​Risk Rating 2.0, FEMA’s new pricing methodology for the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP), are free for agents.

If passed, the legislation would reauthorize the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) through Dec. 3.

All new policies effective on or after Oct. 1 must be issued under Risk Rating 2.0, FEMA’s new pricing methodology for the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP).

With Risk Rating 2.0 currently scheduled to be implemented Oct. 1, disagreements in Congress could lead to a government shutdown and a lapse in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP).
