NFIP Extension Act of 2026
House Committee Reviews NFIP Extension Act to Keep Flood Insurance Running Through 2026
Legislative Progress
Key Points
- Extends the National Flood Insurance Program so it can keep offering flood insurance through September 30, 2026.
- Keeps the program’s financing authority in place through September 30, 2026, so policies can continue to be sold and renewed.
- Includes a retroactive start date: if Congress passes it after September 30, 2025, it would still count as effective on that date.
- For homeowners in flood-prone areas, this aims to avoid coverage disruptions that can affect getting or keeping a mortgage.
