Florida residents who have wind-only policies from Citizens Property Insurance Corp. will have to re-apply for coverage as of February 1, 2009, representatives from the state-created carrier said in a press briefing yesterday.
Citizens, the state's insurer of last resort, said it is updating its computer system for wind-only policies and 350,000 policyholders will need to re-apply for coverage as their current policies will not be renewed.
The changes do not affect policyholders who have coverages other than wind-only.
