IN SHORT, THE PUBLIC RECORD

  • •United Services Automobile Association (NAIC #25941) writes homeowners in Florida and South Carolina, but only for members, active/former military and their eligible family.
  • •USAA is a member-owned reciprocal exchange based in San Antonio, Texas; some policies are written through affiliates such as USAA Casualty Insurance Company and Garrison Property & Casualty.
  • •Report auto, homeowners, and renters claims through the same line, 1-800-531-8722, or the online Claims Center; confirm on their site.
  • •Membership does not change your rights on a claim; request the file and the policy basis in writing like any other carrier.
  • •Disputes track the national pattern: roof wear-and-tear denials, wind-driven-rain causation, and actual-cash-value holdbacks.

What USAA policyholders report, and where to push back

General patterns reported on this type of claim, not specific findings about USAA. Every claim turns on its own policy and facts.

FAQ

USAA, common questions

Who is eligible for USAA homeowners insurance?

USAA membership is required to buy a policy. Eligibility is limited to those serving or who served honorably in the U.S. military, and their eligible family members (spouses and children of USAA members). Coverage is written by United Services Automobile Association (NAIC #25941) and its affiliates. If you are not eligible, you cannot obtain or transfer a USAA homeowners policy.

How do I report or dispute a USAA claim?

Report a claim at 1-800-531-8722 or through the USAA Claims Center at usaa.com; confirm the current number on their site. To dispute a decision, request the full claim file and the specific policy basis in writing. Florida offers free Department of Financial Services mediation for residential property claims, and most policies include an appraisal clause for amount-of-loss disputes. In Florida you generally have 1 year from the date of loss to give notice (§ 627.70132); South Carolina applies a contractual suit-limitation period; confirm your dates with counsel.

●IN THE DENIAL RECORD

We read 1,891 Civil Remedy Notices filed against Florida property insurers over denied claims. 14 of them name USAA (NAIC 25941).

ParrishACCEPTED 2/26/2025$155,268

The Insured and Insured's representative provided the Insurance Company with all claim-related documents including an estimate to repair covered damages in the amount of $155,268 and other supporting documentation and/or information. Additionally, the Insureds alleged that the Insurer refused to reassess its payment of benefits and the basis for payment and that the Insurer "turn[ed] a blindeye and refuse[d] to properly adjust and settle the claim." Noteworthy in Fortune is that although the Homeowners' CRN did not state a specific cure amount, it did state that they had provided their public adjustor's estimate to the Insurer which covered "the full scope of necessary repairs to the direct and ensuing damages." Thus, the Insured had the public adjuster's estimate and knew the amount the Homeowners sought. Immediately pay the Insured a cure of $155,268for losses suffered as a result of t

St. PetersburgACCEPTED 2/21/2025$204,548

USAA has failed and/or refused to thoroughly, accurately, and completely investigate and evaluate the insureds' insurance claim for damages. Despite the insureds' timely notification to USAA of the insurance claim, USAA has failed and refused to acknowledge the covered loss and pay all amounts due and owing to the insured under the policy of insurance. Moreover, CCS determined that at least $204,548.84 worth of repairs would be required to return the property to its pre-loss condition as a result of the hurricane loss.

DFS FILING 807940 Read the filing ↗

Counts are filings naming the insurer, matched on NAIC code. They follow book size as much as behaviour: a carrier with more Florida policies collects more filings. Each is an allegation by a policyholder, not a finding.
