Claim Approval Process

Following a significant natural disaster, an impact assessment is completed to determine the extent and severity of damages.

Upon receipt of a recommendation from EMO, the Governor-In-Council approves the establishment of a DFA program.

Criteria are established, applications for assistance are made available and assistance is offered to eligible applicants.

Requests for assistance are received supported by Schedules of Loss, estimates, invoices, photos and other relevant documentation.

If DFA basic criteria are satisfied, as adjuster is assigned to the file for site inspection and damage assessment.

Applications with the adjuster's reports are evaluated and eligible assistance is approved and offered to the applicant.
