Updating Contact Information During First Notice of Loss Entry
08.02.18

Agents now can update a phone number and/or email address for a policy's first and any additional named insured when entering a first notice of loss (FNOL). The information automatically will update on the account and policy for which the FNOL is submitted. As a result:

  • Once the update is made during the FNOL process, it will be used as the primary contact information going forward.
  • Citizens adjusters and staff will use the updated information.
  • An activity will go to the agent of record to confirm that contact information was updated on the policy.
  • If necessary, update contact information for the customer's additional policies by submitting a policy change.


Updating a Named Insured's Phone and/or Email

When a policy's first or additional named insured reports a loss, initiate a new FNOL:

  1. Select the first or additional named insured's name on the Reported By Name drop-down list.
  2. Select Self on the Relationship to Insured drop-down list.
  3. The New FNOL screen displays a message and a link to update their phone and/or email. Select the Contact link:
