Fair Access to Insurance Requirements (FAIR) Plans were created in the late 1960s to make property insurance more readily available to people who can't obtain it from private insurers because their property is considered "high risk." The plans are operated by the insurance industry and make insurance available to property owners meeting certain requirements.
Following the name of each association listed in the table below are letters indicating the type of plan it offers, as well as the plan's mode of operation:
- F: FAIR Plan or Residual Property Insurance Mechanism.
- B: Beach & Windstorm Plan
- S: Operated as a syndicate (which means that member companies will take predetermined shares of losses, premiums, expenses, and profits)
- SSC: Single Service Carriers
- MSC: Multiple Service Carriers

Your insurance agent can help you determine if you are eligible for coverage by your state's FAIR Plan, or if there are other options for you.
Once you have a policy from a FAIR Plan, you can contact your agent or the FAIR Plan's office to file a claim.
