Where applications go wrong
- An applicant’s existing insurance policy is the remedy, and no financial assistance is available if an applicant has chosen not to purchase insurance or is underinsured.
- If an insurer directs a policyholder to submit a HARP application for financial assistance before they make an insurance claim, AEMA redirects the applicant back to their insurer.
