SECTION 386.502. How is a Group Flood Insurance Policy (GFIP) administered?  


Latest version.
  • (a) DHS provides the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) with records of individuals who:

    (1) received an ONA grant; and

    (2) will be insured with a GFIP.

    (b) DHS withholds the GFIP premium portion of the Other Needs Assistance (ONA) grant and provides it to NFIP for you, other individuals, and families who are eligible for coverage.

    (c) DHS sends payments to NFIP to cover the premium amounts for your three-year policy term.

    (d) NFIP issues a Certificate of Flood Insurance to you. Flood insurance coverage:

    (1) becomes effective on the 30th day following the date NFIP receives your GFIP records and your premium payments from DHS; and

    (2) ends 36 months from the inception date of the GFIP, which is 60 days from the date of the disaster declaration.
