Claim Payments

Publicador de contenidos

Once Citizens completes your claim and evaluation, payment will be issued for the agreed upon estimate.

If the actual cost of repairs or replacement turns out to be more than the original estimate, call Citizens at 866.411.2742. Your adjuster will be more than happy to review and address your concerns.

Ensure Timely Payments

  • If your name, mailing address or mortgage company has changed, notify your agent immediately. Payment can be delayed if this information does not match the information currently on file with Citizens.
  • Banks require that all payees (including any mortgage company) listed on the check endorse (sign) the check.
  • Citizens will mail your claim check to your current mailing address. If you have been displaced, ensure that Citizens has your correct mailing address on file. Citizens does not electronically transfer funds or send settlement checks via overnight service.

If You Have a Mortgage

If your property is mortgaged, Citizens is required to include the name of your mortgage company as a payee on your claim payment. Ask your mortgage company about its procedures for endorsing your claim check.

If Citizens has incorrect information about you, the lienholder or mortgage company, this may delay the settlement of your claim. If there are any changes (including names and mailing addresses), notify Citizens or your agent immediately. Provide any required documentation in order to process the change request.
