The NFIP DSA had decrease from
965,000 policies in 2012 to a total of 639,054 policies today
(2016). As part of the NFIP Transformation, several forms that the
policyholders sees and is required to complete, with the assistance
of an adjuster, have been simplified for easier use, thereby
decreasing the number of hours to complete. Additionally, with the
last filing of the collection in 2013, that was based upon numbers
of claims in the post-Superstorm Sandy environment and the number
of overall claims has greatly decreased since that time.
