Often yes!
Most insurance policies will you access to cash quickly for certain types of losses.  Good examples are emergency repairs, debris cleanup, and additional living expenses (ALE).  For these types of expenses, you should submit for reimbursement at your first opportunity.  If keeping track of expenses and receipts is a chore you’d rather avoid, consider using the free Claim Manager to streamline the process.
Some states, like Louisiana and California, have enacted laws that require insurance companies to provide additional living expense payments under certain circumstances.  Although Texas is not one of those states, you should check your policy to see if you qualify for ALE reimbursements.
