Flood insurance coverage is not limited to consumer or mortgage loans and is triggered by collateral of the loan.
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
A. True

Explanation
Flood insurance coverage is not limited to consumer or mortgage loans means that flood insurance can be obtained for purposes other than just consumer or mortgage loans. It implies that flood insurance can be purchased for various types of properties or assets, not just those associated with loans. The statement also mentions that flood insurance is triggered by collateral of the loan, indicating that the insurance coverage is activated when the loan collateral is affected by a flood. Therefore, the correct answer is true.

Lenders must require flood insurance not only at the time the loan is made but throughout the term of the loan.
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
A. True

Explanation
Lenders must require flood insurance throughout the term of the loan to protect their investment in case of a flood event. This ensures that the borrower has adequate insurance coverage to cover any potential damage or loss caused by a flood. By requiring flood insurance throughout the loan term, lenders can mitigate their risk and protect their financial interests.

A lender can allow the borrower to use the maximum deductibles to reduce the cost of flood insurance but it is not a sound business practice.
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
A. True

Explanation
Allowing the borrower to use the maximum deductibles to reduce the cost of flood insurance may seem like a beneficial option for the borrower, but it is not a sound business practice for the lender. By allowing the borrower to use maximum deductibles, the lender is taking on a higher risk as they would have to bear a larger portion of the cost in case of a flood. This can potentially lead to financial losses for the lender, making it an unsound business practice.

Correct Answer
E. A and C

Explanation
The correct answer is "A and C". This means that both the Standard Flood Hazard Determination Form must be used to document SFHA and flood insurance is required when making, renewing, increasing, or extending a designated loan. These requirements are important for identifying and managing flood risks, as well as ensuring that appropriate insurance coverage is in place for properties located in flood hazard areas.

6.

Can flood insurance be waived on a structure if there is enough value or equity in the land being pledged as collateral.
- A.
  
  Yes
- B.
  
  No
Correct Answer
B. No

Explanation
Flood insurance cannot be waived on a structure based on the value or equity of the land being pledged as collateral. The requirement for flood insurance is determined by the location of the structure and the risk of flooding in that area, rather than the value of the property. Therefore, even if there is enough value or equity in the land, flood insurance cannot be waived.

Rate this question:
7.

Lender must have proof of flood insurance?
- A.
  
  At the time of closing.
- B.
  
  At the time the notice is provided to the customer.
- C.
  
  At the time the customer can afford it.
- D.
  
  All of the above
- E.
  
  None of the above
Correct Answer
A. At the time of closing.

Explanation
The correct answer is "At the time of closing." This means that the lender must have proof of flood insurance when the loan is being finalized and the property is being transferred to the buyer. It is important for the lender to have this proof to ensure that the property is protected against potential flood damage, which could affect the value of the property and the borrower's ability to repay the loan. Having flood insurance in place at the time of closing helps mitigate these risks for the lender.

Rate this question:
8.

Lender does not need to ensure that the customer has continued flood insurance and force place the flood insurance if needed?
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
B. False

Explanation
The correct answer is False. This means that the lender does need to ensure that the customer has continued flood insurance and force place the flood insurance if needed. This is because having flood insurance is important for protecting the property and ensuring that the borrower can repay the loan in the event of a flood. The lender wants to mitigate their risk and protect their investment by making sure the borrower has the necessary insurance coverage.

9.

Property owners ___________ contest a lender’s policy.
- A.
  
  May
- B.
  
  May not
Correct Answer
B. May not

10.

Lenders are __________ to abide by the SFHA until a LOMR or LOMA is issued.
- A.
  
  Required
- B.
  
  Not required
Correct Answer

Explanation
Lenders are required to abide by the SFHA until a LOMR or LOMA is issued. This means that they must follow the guidelines and regulations set forth in the Special Flood Hazard Area until they receive official documentation stating otherwise. This is important for ensuring that lenders are aware of the potential flood risks associated with a property and can make informed decisions regarding lending and insurance.
