Hurricane Milton Supplemental Claim Deadline: April 9, 2026

Apr 2

Hurricane Milton caused widespread damage across Florida, leaving many homeowners dealing with roof failures, water intrusion, and structural issues. In addition to the hurricane itself, multiple tornadoes spun off during the storm, causing severe localized damage in areas that may not have experienced the worst of the main storm.

While many claims have already been settled, not all were fully paid.

Under Florida law, homeowners have 18 months from the date of loss to file a supplemental claim. For Hurricane Milton, that deadline is:

April 9, 2026

If your initial insurance payment did not fully cover your repairs, this may be your last opportunity to recover additional funds.

After major storms, it is common for damage to be missed during the first inspection or for repair costs to exceed the original estimate. Many homeowners move forward with repairs or accept payment without realizing they can still request additional compensation.

Once the deadline passes, your ability to reopen or supplement your claim may be limited or completely denied.

If your claim falls into any of the following, it is worth taking a closer look before the deadline:

Your repairs cost more than what insurance paid
You discovered additional damage after settling
Your scope of work felt incomplete or underestimated

Even if repairs are already complete, you may still qualify.
