Submit Flood Insurance Proof of Loss Form Within 60 days of Loss

BATON ROUGE, La. – If you have purchased flood insurance through the National Flood Insurance Program and you filed a claim for flood damages, it’s important that you submit your Proof of Loss form within 60 days after the date of loss.

Take the time to fill out the form and collect supporting documents:

• You need to provide supporting documents with the form, like your building damage estimate and a personal-property loss inventory list.
• Don’t forget to sign it.

Even if you are not satisfied with the adjuster’s loss estimate, it’s important that you submit the Proof of Loss form within 60 days after your date of loss:

• Your adjuster will give you a detailed loss estimate, and you should review it to see if they forgot something or got something wrong.
• Your adjuster may have provided you a Proof of Loss form and helped you fill it out. You can submit this form, even if you think the adjuster missed some items, because you can submit a supplemental claim later.
• Or, you can fill out a Proof of Loss form on your own.
