- National Specialty Insurance Co. – approved to remove up to 19,535 personal residential policies (Coastal Account)
The approval brings the total number of potential personal and commercial residential policies approved for take-outs in 2016 to 444,684 with the actual number of policies removed from Citizens at 33,434 (as of March 22, 2016).
