What does the borrower need to do while they are waiting on their LOMA or LOMR-F to be reviewed?
If you do not want to wait the 6-8 weeks for a LOMA or LOMR-F to be issued, FEMA advises you to buy the flood insurance. If the LOMA or LOMR-F is issued the current years premium will be refunded unless a claim has been paid or is pending. To receive a refund, submit the LOMA or LOMR-F to your lender and ask that the lender waive the insurance requirement.
