The National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP)’s five-year authorization originally expired on September 30, 2017.

Congress had not agreed to reforms in time for a reauthorization bill to be signed into law by its expiration date, so it was included in a short-term extension of federal government spending, an ominous sign for an already-troubled program. The program was then subjected to four additional short-term extensions between December and March.
