Sandy Claims Review Has Processed Just 1 In 6 Cases

Just 1 in 6 cases in the Sandy Claims Review process have been decided, despite assurances that victims of superstorm Sandy wouldn’t be subjected to another drawn-out struggle over flood insurance. More than 200 days have passed since FEMA debuted a system by which superstorm Sandy victims who thought they were shortchanged by their flood insurer could receive additional money. A total of 18,540 policyholders across the Sandy-affected region signed up. The agency’s top brass promised that the process would take no more than 90 days to generate an answer and a check, if one was warranted.
