What are the safety & soundness risks faced when NFIP limits on commercial insurance are $500K but a building has insurable value of $2M?

3 Private Flood Insurance Talking Points History of Private Flood Insurance: Private Flood Insurance Suggested guidelines appeared in Mandatory Purchase booklet for years March 2012: FEMA clarified its position (advisory, not regulatory) July 2012: BW-12 enacted (Sec defined components) October 2013: Joint Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (Safe harbors) March 2014: HFIAA enacted No private flood insurance amendment June 25, 2015: H.R & S introduced in Congress November 7, 2016: Joint Notice of Proposed Rulemaking Loans in Areas Have Special Flood Hazards - Private Flood Insurance Federal Register publication date 7 Private Flood Insurance Talking Points Private Flood Insurance NFIP set to expire 9/30/17 requires reauthorization (Extended to 3/23/18) Flood Insurance Market Parity and Modernization Act (Private Flood Insurance Market Development Act of 2017) H.R passed the House 4/28/16 (H.R /8/17) S received in Senate 5/9/16 (S /8/17) Proposes that Federal Flood Insurance and Private Flood Insurance are equal remedies for mandatory purchase of flood insurance Establishes that any period of continuous coverage by private flood insurance meets the standard and is considered a period of continuous coverage for any statutory, regulatory or administrative continuous coverage requirement 8 3

4 Private Flood Insurance Talking Points Private Flood Insurance Proposes requirements regarding financial strength of private flood insurance companies That do not affect or conflict with any state law, regulation or procedure concerning the regulation of the business of insurance Environment favorable to private flood insurance market Admitted insurance carriers vs. Non-admitted carriers Resolving the Confusion About Admitted and Non-Admitted Carriers 9 Non-NFIP Flood Coverage Examples of other types of flood policies/coverage Standalone Flood Policy Admitted carrier Non-admitted carrier Difference in Condition Policy (DIC) Commercial Property Policy w/flood endorsement Mobile-Home policies All-Risk Builder s Risk Policy Manuscript Policy Self-insurance Coverage Excess Flood Policy Got You Confused? 10 4

5 Private Flood Insurance Talking Points Private Flood Insurance Loans in Areas Having Special Flood Hazards Private Flood Insurance (Joint Notice of Proposed Rulemaking) A. Definitions Mutual Aid Society Private Flood Insurance At least as broad as (1/2 dozen items to research specific, not simple) B. Requirement to purchase flood insurance Meets statutory definition of private flood insurance Meets the mandatory purchase requirement C. Compliance aid for mandatory purchase Meets definition of private flood insurance if: Policy has written summary describing how it meets definition Lender verification in writing that policy meets definition Endorsement/provision within policy that states definition met 11 Private Flood Insurance Talking Points Private Flood Insurance Loans in Areas Having Special Flood Hazards Private Flood Insurance (Joint Notice of Proposed Rulemaking) D. Discretionary Acceptance Authorized insurer Covers lender and borrower as loss payees Cancellation for same reasons as SFIP Coverage as broad as or similar to SFIP Exception for mutual aid societies Discretionary acceptance for non-residential property 12 5

6 Private Flood Questions Ask The Expert Non-NFIP Flood Insurance Q: In the absence of regulations, how does a lender determine whether a private flood insurance policy is acceptable? 14 2/20/ Private Flood Insurance Talking Points Private Flood Insurance Original private flood insurance criteria: Licensure Licensed, admitted or approved by State insurance regulator Surplus lines recognition (non-residential commercial) Carrier should be recognized, or not disapproved, as a surplus lines carrier Requirement of 45-day cancellation/non-renewal notice Policy should be as restrictive as SFIP s cancellation provisions Breadth of policy coverage Similar mortgage clause Legal recourse 15 6

16 Private Flood Questions Ask The Expert Non-NFIP Flood Insurance Q: What are some considerations for a borrower when switching to private flood insurance? 34 2/20/ Private Flood Insurance Talking Points Private Flood Insurance Pros: In competitive market, coverage may be less expensive Coverage may be broader Available coverage limits may be higher Greater flexibility with deductibles. Cons: Private market may not always be price competitive Possible loss of rating subsidy if borrower (insured) returns to NFIP for coverage Private market capacity and availability may vary with market conditions 35 16

17 Topic 1 CASE FILE Reform legislation encourages expansion of private flood insurance 2. FEMA guidance advisory, not regulatory 3. Legislators and regulators are reevaluating their approaches to private flood insurance CASE FILE NOTES 37 17

18 Topic 2 FORCE PLACEMENT 38 Force Placement Question Ask The Expert Force Placement Question I am confused about when I can force place flood insurance and when I have to send the notice. Seems like every time I think I have it down, something else comes along that seems to change what I think I know. When I determine that my borrower s flood coverage has lapsed and I send out the 45-day notice, can I force place the coverage right away so there s not any interruption in the coverage? 39 2/20/

19 Force Placement Overview Lender determines at any time during the life of the loan that property securing the loan is located in SFHA; Flood insurance is available; Flood insurance is inadequate or does not exist; and After required notice, borrower fails to purchase appropriate amount of coverage. Send 45 day letter Allow time for borrower to purchase flood insurance Force Place? 40 Impact of Biggert-Waters Reform Act Sec Force Placement Final Rule Required 45-day notice must be sent: Upon receipt of a notice of cancellation or expiration from an insurance provider or internal flood monitoring system When lender learns a property is now a designated loan due to a map change FINAL RULE Clarifies that the required notice must be sent following the date of lapse or insufficient coverage notification. Only courtesy notice prior

20 Impact of Biggert-Waters Reform Act Sec Force Placement Premium and fees a lender or servicer may charge include: Premium or fees incurred for coverage Beginning on the date flood insurance coverage lapsed or, Did not provide sufficient coverage amount FINAL RULE Lapsed date = policy expiration date or effective date the policy is cancelled 42 Impact of Biggert-Waters Reform Act Sec Force Placement Final Rule clarifies a lender or servicer may force place coverage: Any time during 45-day notice period Do not have to wait 45 days after providing notice to force place Force placing prior to expiration of 45-day notice period may create additional work effort NOTE There can be a distinction made between when a policy is put in place and when it is effective. Consider force placing effective the day after expiration

21 Impact of Biggert-Waters Reform Act Sec Force Placement Requires lender or servicer within 30 days of: Receiving confirmation of borrower s coverage Notify insurer to terminate force-place insurance Refund all force-placed premium and fees paid by borrower During any overlap in coverage FINAL RULE Lender required to notify insurer to cancel. 44 Impact of Biggert-Waters Reform Act Sec Force Placement Requires lender or servicer to: Accept borrower s existing policy declarations page as confirmation Declarations page must include: Identity/Contact information for insurance company or agent Existing policy number Lender may accept alternative evidence FINAL RULE Lender responsible for determining adequacy of coverage. If inadequate, notify borrower

22 Topic 2 CASE FILE Can charge force place premium and fees from date of lapse 2. Date of lapse equals the policy s expiration date or the effective date the policy is cancelled 3. Notify insurer to terminate force placed policy within 30 days of confirmation of borrower s existing flood insurance coverage CASE FILE NOTES 47 22

23 Force Placement Question Ask The Expert Force Placement Question When I force place flood coverage for one of my borrowers, is that considered a MIRE event? I have heard conflicting opinions on this topic. 48 2/20/2018 Three Categories Force Place as MIRE Event Category 1 Premium/fees added to UPB Insurance amount must include FP premium and fees Triggering event depends on loan contract Category 2 Premium/fees added to an unsecured account If FP is in separate, unsecured account: Not an increase Not a triggering event Category 3 Premium/fees billed to borrower Not an increase/triggering event If borrower fails to pay, see Categories 1 &

24 Single family dwelling: $350,000 insurable value $200,000 loan amount Fails to renew flood policy Need to force place Adding premium/fees to UPB Cost of FP flood policy: $2,000 Equals $1 per $100 coverage limit $200,0(00) X 1.00 = $2,000 UPB increases to $202,000 Amount of FP = $200,000 $2,0(00) X 1.00 = $20 UPB increases to $202,020 Amount of FP = $202,000 $100 X 1.00 = $1 UPB increases to $202,021 Amount of FP = $202, Force Placement Question Ask The Expert Force Placement Question Q. Can we renew a loan using an existing lender force placed flood insurance policy? A. Assuming the force placed policy is in effect and otherwise satisfies the regulatory coverage standards, then that policy may satisfy the mandatory purchase requirement. The term flood insurance is sufficiently broad in scope to include force placed policies. 51 2/20/2018 (Interagency Flood Insurance Regulation Update 10/22/15, Q. 8) 24

25 Topic 3 CONDO CONUNDRUM 52 Condo Conundrum Question Ask The Expert Condo Conundrum Part 1 I found your training very informative. My only complaint it was not long enough. I do have a question on Condo insurance. We have a Condo policy RCBAP that has $500,000 in coverage and has four units. We were dividing the $500,000 by 4 = $125,000 per unit. The customer s loan has a balance of $131,000. We are requiring the customer to obtain his own policy for $6,000 to cover the balance. Is that correct? 53 2/20/

26 Condo Condundrum Question Ask The Expert Condo Conundrum Part 2 I have spoken to you before at the Minnesota Bankers Association Advanced Compliance Workshops. I hope you can help answer a question for me. We have a loan secured by a condo in Florida. The RCV on the building is $35,249,400, but the RCBAP policy is written at a limit of $28,199,500, which is 80% of RCV. Policy says 100% Replacement Cost. It appears this is ok per the FEMA guidelines. However, there are 126 units, so this is flood coverage of $223, per unit. We have a loan for greater than $250,000 and the unit value is more than $250,000. My Question: Are we required to have $250,000 of flood insurance coverage? If so, this means the borrower will have to purchase a policy for the difference of $26, /20/ Condo Coverage Talking Points Condo Conundrum RCBAP co-insurance clause/penalty Avoid if insured to max limit, or 80% of RCV at time of loss At 80%, building is 20% uninsured Coverage limit division Assumes all units are identical Discuss 4-unit condo building Discuss 126-unit condo building 55 26

27 Condo Coverage Talking Points Condo Conundrum 4-unit residential condominium building 3 units identical in size and value 4 th unit is two floors - double size and value of other 3 units 126-unit residential condominium building Building has 1, 2 and 3 bedroom units All different sizes all 2 bedrooms not the same size Cookie cutter approach all units equal Approach used in Q Interagency Q&As May look to percentage of ownership see assessments 56 4-Unit Residential Condo Building Unit 4 Unit 3 Unit 2 Unit 1 $500,000 Coverage Limit Unit 4 $500K X.40 = $200,000 vs. $500K X.25 = $125,000 Unit 1 = 20% Ownership Unit 2 = 20% Ownership Unit 3 = 20% Ownership Unit 4 = 40% Ownership 57 27

If your lender notifies you that an escrow account is required for your loan, then you must pay your flood insurance premiums and fees to the lender or its servicer with the same frequency as you make loan payments for the duration of your loan. 74 Option to Escrow (01/16) Required lenders to offer and make available to borrower the option to escrow Option does not apply to: Loans or lenders excepted as of 01/01/16 Loans already escrowing for flood insurance Deliver notice to borrowers by June 30, 2016 Change of status lenders: September 30 th First calendar year of status change Can be separate notice or added to another disclosure, eg. Periodic statements When requested, begin escrow as soon as reasonably practicable 75 35

36 Escrow Question Ask The Expert Escrows Q: Do map changes trigger the mandatory escrow rules? Don t confuse mandatory purchase with mandatory escrow Need tripwire for escrow 76 2/20/ Escrow Question Ask The Expert Escrows Q: If you have previously waived escrow for taxes and hazard insurance, do you still have to escrow for flood insurance? Can flood escrow be waived? If you are required to escrow for flood under the revised escrow rule, then you must escrow for flood regardless of your decision on other escrows. 77 2/20/

37 Escrow Question Ask The Expert Escrows Q: Do lenders need to escrow for flood when a property is not in an SFHA but the borrower buys flood insurance? Required when: Secured by residential improved real estate Located in a Special Flood Hazard Area Experienced a triggering event on or after 1/1/ /20/ Topic 4 CASE FILE 79 37

38 1. Escrows affect residential improved real estate or mobile homes with triggering event 2. A small lender exception applies to regulated lending institutions with total assets < $1 billion 3. Six loan exceptions to the escrow requirement exist CASE FILE NOTES 80 Topic 5 DETACHED STRUCTURES 81 38

39 Detached Structures Question Ask The Expert Detached Structures I am hoping you can answer a question for me. We attended a webinar and were given information concerning exclusion from the mandatory purchase requirement. It stated The act authorizes the exclusion of detached structures that are not used for residential purposes from the mandatory purchase of flood insurance requirement. We currently have a loan that has the dwelling in zone X but the barn is in zone AE. Do we have to have flood insurance for the barn? 82 2/20/2018 Detached Structures Talking Points Detached Structures Exemption - HFIAA Profile of Issue: HFIAA allows mandatory purchase exemption for certain detached structures (3) DETACHED STRUCTURES. Notwithstanding any other provision of this section, flood insurance shall not be required, in the case of any residential property, for any structure that is a part of such property but is detached from the primary residential structure of such property and does not serve as a residence. Three Components Required: Applies to Residential Property Detached from primary residential structure Does not serve as a residence 83 39

40 Detached Structures Talking Points Final Joint Regulatory Guidance: Although you may not be required to maintain flood insurance on all structures, you may still wish to do so, and your mortgage lender may still require you to do so to protect the collateral securing the mortgage. If you choose not to maintain flood insurance on a structure and it floods, you are responsible for all flood losses relating to the structure. Detached Structures Exemption - HFIAA Regulators agree exemption became effective upon enactment. Exemption addresses concerns on low-value structures Provides discretionary authority to require coverage Notice of Special Flood Hazards amended 84 3 Components Detached Structures Exemption 1 Applies to a residential property Purpose of loan is immaterial when residence secures a loan Broadly defined to include any residential building A structure that is part of a residential property: Refers to a property used primarily for personal, family or household purposes Not commercial, agricultural or other business use 2 Applies to a detached structure Detached from the primary residential structure Detached is defined as a building that stands alone Not joined by any structural connection to the residential structure 3 Does not serve as a residence No single bright line test; Focus on structure s intended use Rely on good faith determination of lender Could serve as residence if it generally includes sleeping, bathroom or kitchen facilities 85 40

41 Detached Structures Talking Points Detached Structures Exemption - HFIAA Final Joint Regulatory Guidance: Further Clarification on serves as a residence : Detached structures can vary greatly Sleeping, bathroom and kitchen all three not necessary to serve as a residence No duty to monitor status of detached structure Must re-examine on future triggering event Send borrower notice if lender determines building becomes subject to mandatory purchase 86 Detached Structures Question Ask The Expert Detached Structures Exemption Q: If a commercial loan is secured by a personal guaranty provided by the principal owner of a commercial entity, with a mortgage on his or her residence, may a detached structure on the residential property be eligible for the exemption? 88 2/20/

42 Detached Structures Talking Points Detached Structures Exemption Exemption applies regardless of the purpose of the loan* Just so long as a residential property is secured Affordability issues are the same Exemption only a remedy for residential properties and not commercial, business or agricultural Homeowner Flood Insurance Affordability Act not Business or Farm owner *NOTE: Escrow requirement only consumer loans 89 Detached Structures Question Ask The Expert Detached Structures Exemption Q: If one of our borrowers currently has a flood policy on a detached structure that meets the exemption s requirements, can we cancel our requirement for flood insurance? Can our borrower cancel their policy and get a refund? 90 2/20/

43 Detached Structures Talking Points Detached Structures Exemption Borrower is no longer required by statute to have flood insurance on a building(s) meeting the exemption s requirements Lender may rescind its flood insurance mandate For safety and soundness, lender may want to continue coverage mandate on higher valued detached structures NFIP policies can be cancelled mid-term with cancellation effective the date the cancellation request and supporting documentation are received by insurance carrier Documentation: Signed statement from policyholder that policy no longer required by lender for a detached structure 91 Topic 5 CASE FILE 92 43

44 1. Applies to property used primarily for personal, family or household purposes. 2. Lenders can exercise discretion in their use of the exemption. 3. To be exempted the detached structure may not serve as a residence. CASE FILE NOTES 93 Topic 6 INSURABLE VALUE 94 44
