Oklahoma’s insurance commissioner says property owners who experienced flood damage during heavy rainfall in May and June have more time to file insurance claims.
Commissioner John Doak said the Federal Emergency Management Agency has given National Flood Insurance Program policyholders an extra 180 days to file. Doak says the extension gives home and business owners more time to make sure their claim is filed correctly.
The new deadline gives a total of 240 days after the date of loss to provide proof of loss to the insurance company. For example, anyone who had damage on May 16 now has until Jan. 11 to submit proof of loss.
A flood insurance policy is separate from a homeowner’s policy which, in most cases, does not pay for flood claims.
