Do you have actual cash value coverage or replacement cost coverage? When you file a claim with your homeowners/renters insurance policy, your out-of-pocket expenses will vary based on the type of coverage you have: ow.ly/LG8s50VzRlt #FinancialLiteracyMonth

We do NOT take donations, money, or property for any reason. We do NOT ask for or accept cash donations or volunteers for disaster response. If you encounter someone claiming to represent FEMA asking for money, be careful as that is likely a scam. 👉 fema.gov/helene-rumors
