FEMA Publishes NFIP Installment Payment Plan Rule and FAQs
Traditionally, NFIP flood insurance premiums were paid solely on an annual basis, but FEMA is in the process
of allowing NFIP policyholders the choice to pay their annual flood insurance premiums via monthly installments.
Read more about FEMA's rule “National Flood Insurance Program Installment Payment Plan" in the Federal Register.
This rule removes the regulatory barriers to offering an installment payment option. Now that those barriers are removed, FEMA is partnering with its NFIP insurers to make the operational changes necessary to offer installment plans.
FEMA and insurance providers offering coverage under the NFIP will be providing additional information on this new payment option as it becomes available to both current and future policyholders.
