There’s not a question we can’t answer.

An Identity Theft policy reimburses the policyholder for money spent on reclaiming and repairing their financial identities and credit rating. These costs often include legal assistance, phone bills, and office expenses that can lead to thousands of dollars.

Identity theft insurance provides restoration services in the event your identity is stolen and provides coverage to pay for many of the expenses incurred from resolving the breech, unlike identify theft protection.

Should a loss occur prior to the assumption date, Citizens will be able to assist you with filing the claim.  After the assumption date you may file your claim with Edison Insurance by calling (888) 683-7971.

Any payment due prior to your Citizens policy expiration date, should be paid to Citizens. Your agent is the best source of information if you are unsure of where to send a payment. You may also contact Citizens customer service for payment questions. Once you have received a renewal package from Edison Insurance Company, payments can be made online at www.edisoninsurance.com upon registering your policy and creating a username and password. You may also contact our Customer Service Department or your agent for assistance in processing your payment.  We accept all major credit cards and have 4 convenient payment plans available to meet your budgetary needs.

If you own a item of specific value, you can add an endorsement, called Scheduled Personal Property (SPP), which acts like a mini-insurance policy on the specified and listed item or add Extended Coverage, which increases protection on jewelry, watches and furs (up to an aggregate limit for all of these items together which is specified on your policy). Both provide all-risks coverage (except for a few exclusions). Many people get extra protection on jewelry, cameras, coin and stamp collections, fine arts, furs, golfing equipment, guns, musical instruments, outboard motor boats, and silverware/goldware.

A little preparation goes a long way; and we want your coverage plan to fit your needs.  Investing a little of your time making a list of possessions, staying abreast of local building costs, and remembering to meet with your agent annually to review your policy, can help you customize a policy that fits your needs. Here are a few things to consider when outlining your coverage plan:

• Have local building costs risen?
• Has your home been remodeled or expanded?
• Do you know what your insurance deductible is?
• Do you have money set aside to cover the deductible if you have a loss?
• Do you have an inventory of your possessions?
• Do you need additional coverage for assets like jewelry, art collections, fur coats or other expensive items?
• Do you need coverage for additional living expenses after a disaster?
• Do you need flood coverage in the event water rises into your home from a lake or storm surge?
• Do you require animal liability protection should your pet injure someone?
• Do you need an umbrella or excess liability policy?

A Takeout/Assumption occurs when an authorized private-market carrier acquires or selects policies from Citizens Property Insurance Corp. (Citizens). Private-market carriers are approved by the Office of Insurance Regulation prior to participating in a takeout. In addition, we have taken steps to notify your agent we have selected your policy for assumption.

No, a standard homeowners policy does not cover damage resulting from flooding, often referred to as rising water.
