Wendy,

That's what I've been trying to say all along.  If they are going to collect
monies from you to provide financial protection from flooding, once a flood
event occurs, they should not be able to change the rules and say the monies
you've paid are for naught.

If it was a private insurance company, the FTC would be all over them.

If it is not going to be counted as something separate and apart from any
other aid that is received, then drop the charade and stop calling it
insurance.

Wes,
 
   I just had a thought....imagine that. While I understand the whole
Stafford loan thing and can't pay twice, that's why they deduct FEMA
proceeds and Flood insurance. However, people don't pay a premium for FEMA
insurance so that the can get assistance just in case, so shouldn't flood
fall under something else other than a grant from the federal government and
because we paid for it. Shouldn't there be a little more credit than to just
not be penalized?
