The Federal Emergency Management Agency says it has settled 96 percent of post-Sandy National Flood Insurance Program claims in New Jersey.
The agency says that as of April 9, there had been 74,825 claims filed and 70,689 had been closed. That’s a major change from two months ago when N. J. Gov. Chris Christie was complaining that the agency was processing claims too slowly.
In early February, the governor said that only 30 percent of claims had been settled. It turned out his numbers were out-of-date and the agency had settled just over half the claims in the state at the time. The flood insurance program is run through private-sector insurance company.
