An Assignment of Benefits (AOB) is an agreement that transfers insurance claims rights or benefits to a third party, such as a contractor. They file a claim for their services, and direct the insurance to pay them directly — without your involvement.
Once an AOB contract is signed, the contractor takes control and can submit whatever they’d like to the insurance company. You lose control of the direction of your claim once an AOB is signed. Contractors can bill insurance companies more than the going rate, and even for work that was never performed.
There are multiple risks for signing an AOB. Some of those potential pitfalls include:
You should also be wary if a contractor offers you something in exchange for nothing (like a free roof or kitchen), wants to start working immediately and advises you to delay contacting the insurance company, or offers to “take care of” your deductible. If it sounds fishy, it probably is, and any of these issues could potentially lead to a fraud investigation. That could jeopardize your coverage.
Litigation is also a possibility, as there is no standard for what a contractor can submit to an insurance company if an AOB is signed. If the insurance company has questions about what’s been submitted by the contractor, that company could potentially be sued by the contractor. If that were to occur, it’s likely you would be a witness.

Assignment of benefits, what are the concerns or risks regarding aobs.
AOBs have long been a part of Florida’s insurance marketplace. However, abuses in the way they were being used in the marketplace have driven up costs for homeowners across the state due to unnecessary litigation associated with certain AOB claims.
Consumers should be aware, when signing an AOB, that they may become involved in the third-party vendor’s lawsuit against the insurance company if the third party and company are in dispute on the payment amount of the claim.
OIR offers the following tips consumers should consider prior to entering into an AOB contract.
No. Consumers can file a claim directly with their insurance company. Filing a claim directly with the insurer allows the consumer to maintain control of the rights and benefits provided by their policy in resolving the claim.
After a loss, a consumer might call a roofer, contractor, plumber, water extraction company, or other third-party vendor to assist with emergency repairs. Once those vendors have assessed the damage, contractors or vendors may present consumers with a document to sign prior to beginning any work.
If the document is an AOB, it will sign over the consumer’s insurance benefits to the contractor or vendor and give this third-party the ability to negotiate and endorse claim payments or file suit against the insurance company on the consumer’s behalf.
An AOB must contain the following paragraph:
YOU ARE AGREEING TO GIVE UP CERTAIN RIGHTS YOU HAVE UNDER YOUR INSURANCE POLICY TO A THIRD PARTY, WHICH MAY RESULT IN LITIGATION AGAINST YOUR INSURER. PLEASE READ AND UNDERSTAND THIS DOCUMENT BEFORE SIGNING IT. YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO CANCEL THIS AGREEMENT WITHOUT PENALTY WITHIN 14 DAYS AFTER THE DATE THIS AGREEMENT IS EXECUTED, AT LEAST 30 DAYS AFTER THE DATE WORK ON THE PROPERTY IS SCHEDULED TO COMMENCE IF THE ASSIGNEE HAS NOT SUBSTANTIALLY PERFORMED, OR AT LEAST 30 DAYS AFTER THE EXECUTION OF THE AGREEMENT IF THE AGREEMENT DOES NOT CONTAIN A COMMENCEMENT DATE AND THE ASSIGNEE HAS NOT BEGUN SUBSTANTIAL WORK ON THE PROPERTY. HOWEVER, YOU ARE OBLIGATED FOR PAYMENT OF ANY CONTRACTED WORK PERFORMED BEFORE THE AGREEMENT IS RESCINDED. THIS AGREEMENT DOES NOT CHANGE YOUR OBLIGATION TO PERFORM THE DUTIES REQUIRED UNDER YOUR PROPERTY INSURANCE POLICY.
Yes. Following AOB reform in 2019, a consumer can cancel an AOB without any penalties or fees. To cancel, the consumer must give the third-party vendor signed written notice of the desire to cancel the AOB at one of three points during the repair process:
(1) Within 14 days after executing the AOB;
(2) At least 30 days after the date the third-party vendor is scheduled to start work, if that vendor has not already completed a substantial amount of the work; or
(3) At least 30 days after executing the AOB, if the AOB does not have a start date for the work and the third-party vendor has not begun substantial work on the property.
According to the Department of Financial Services, there were 405 AOB lawsuits across all 67 Florida counties in 2006, and that number had risen to 28,200 by 2016.
To stem the AOB misuse, OIR worked with the Governor, Cabinet, and Florida Legislature to pass significant consumer protection reform related to AOBs. On May 23, 2019, Governor DeSantis signed into law House Bill 7065 (2019) (“HB 7065”), a significant reform to the AOB landscape, effective July 1, 2019.
HB 7065 created section 627.7152 , Florida Statutes, which contains definitions and required provisions for AOBs, referred to as “assignment agreements” in the statute, that are executed under residential or commercial property insurance policies. An AOB that does not comply with this new section is not valid under Florida law.
HB 7065 also created section 627.7153 , Florida Statutes, which provides standards for policies that restrict the right to assign post-loss insurance benefits in whole or in part under a property insurance policy. Insurers offering restricted policies must notify an insured at least annually of the coverage options available for the assignability of benefits and must attach that notice to the premium notice. A restricted policy must be available at a lower cost than a policy that provides the same benefits but does not restrict assignment rights.
In June 2019, OIR issued Informational Memorandum OIR-19-02M to notify insurers that a data call would be issued sooner than required in order to evaluate the preliminary impact of HB 7065. OIR has proactively issued a data call in 2020 to evaluate the preliminary impacts of the legislation.

You've just survived a severe storm, or a tornado and you've experienced some extensive damage to your home that requires repairs, including the roof. Your contractor is now asking for your permission to speak with your insurance company using an Assignment of Benefits. Before you sign, read the fine print. Otherwise, you may inadvertently sign over your benefits and any extra money you’re owed as part of your claim settlement.
The National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) offers information to help you better understand insurance, your risk and what to do in the event you need repairs after significant storm damage.
Be cautious about signing an Assignment of Benefits. An Assignment of Benefits, or an AOB, is an agreement signed by a policyholder that allows a third party—such as a water extraction company, a roofer or a plumber—to act on behalf of the insured and seek direct payment from the insurance company. An AOB can be a useful tool for getting repairs done, as it allows the repair company to deal directly with your insurance company when negotiating repairs and issuing payment directly to the repair company. However, an AOB is a legal contract, so you need to understand what rights you are signing away and you need to be sure the repair company is trustworthy.
Be on alert for fraud. Home repair fraud is common after a natural disaster. Contractors often come into disaster-struck regions looking to make quick money by taking advantage of victims.
Immediately after the disaster, have an accurate account of the damage for your insurance company when you file a claim.
Most insurance companies have a time requirement for reporting a claim, so contact your agent or company as soon as possible. Your state insurance department can help you find contact information for your insurance company, if you cannot find it.
After you report damage to your insurance company, they will send a claims adjuster to assess the damage at no cost to you . An adjuster from your insurance company will walk through and around your home to inspect damaged items and temporary repairs you may have made.
Once the adjuster has completed an assessment, they will provide documentation of the loss to your insurer to determine your claims settlement. When it comes to getting paid, you may receive more than one check. If the damage is severe or you are displaced from your home, the first check may be an emergency advance. Other payments may be for the contents of your home, other personal property, and structural damages. Please note that if there is a mortgage on your home, the payment for structural damage may be payable to you and your mortgage lender. Lenders may put that money into an escrow account and pay for repairs as the work is completed.
More information. States have rules governing how insurance companies handle claims. If you think that your insurer is not responding in a timely manner or completing a reasonable investigation of your claim, contact your state insurance department .
About the National Association of Insurance Commissioners

The U.S. standard-setting organization is governed by the chief insurance regulators from the 50 states, the District of Columbia and five U.S. territories. Through the NAIC, state insurance regulators establish standards and best practices, conduct peer reviews, and coordinate regulatory oversight. NAIC staff supports these efforts and represents the collective views of state regulators domestically and internationally.
Have you heard of the term assignment of benefits ? Do you know how it impacts you? An AOB is an agreement that, once signed, transfers the insurance claims rights or benefits of your insurance policy to a third party.
An AOB gives the third party authority to file a claim, make repair decisions and collect insurance payments without your involvement.
Review the resources below to better understand how transferring your insurance claims rights can impact you and your family.
What is an assignment of benefits?
An AOB is an agreement that transfers the insurance claims rights or benefits of the policy to a third party. An AOB gives the third party authority to file a claim, make repair decisions, and collect insurance payments without the involvement of the homeowner. AOBs have been used with life and health insurance policies for many years. However, AOBs are now being commonly used in homeowners’ insurance claims by restoration companies and contractors. Signing an AOB can be helpful with navigating the claims process, but if misused, it can lead to harmful consequences for the homeowner.
For example, you have a pipe leak in your home that causes water damage. If you call a restoration company to make repairs and sign an AOB that transfers your insurance rights to the company, the company can file a claim on your behalf and be paid directly.
What information must be included in an assignment of benefits?
The AOB must contain a written, itemized, per-unit cost estimate of the services to be performed by the third-party assignee and it must only relate to the work to be performed for services to protect, repair, restore, or replace a dwelling or structure or to mitigate against further damage to such property.
The AOB must contain a notification in 18-point, uppercase, boldfaced font that advises you that you are giving up certain rights under your insurance policy to a third party. The notification must also include the rescission terms.
The AOB must contain a provision that requires the third-party assignee to indemnify and hold you harmless from all liabilities, damages, losses, and costs (including attorney fees) if the policy prohibits an AOB. The execution of the AOB constitutes a waiver by the third-party assignee and its subcontractors of claims against you for payment arising from the AOB. The third-party assignee and its subcontractors may not collect, or attempt to collect money from you, maintain any action of law against you, file a lien against your property or report you to a credit reporting agency.
The AOB prohibits the third-party assignee from seeking payment from you in any amount in excess of the applicable policy deductible unless you have agreed to have additional work performed at your own expense.
The AOB cannot assign the right to recover attorney fees to the third-party assignee. In a suit related to an assignment agreement for claims arising under a residential or commercial property damage, the right to recover attorney fees stays with the assignor.
Florida law prohibits a third-party assignee from including the following charges/fees in an AOB:
If you are concerned with the language or terms of the contract, you should seek legal advice prior to signing the AOB. If you have questions as to whether the AOB incorporates the provisions required by Florida law, you may contact the Florida Department of Financial Services Insurance Consumer Helpline at 877-693-5236. If the AOB complies with all requirements stipulated by law, once the AOB has been signed, if the third-party assignee will not agree to release you from the contract, the only recourse is to pursue resolution in a court of law.
What responsibilities does the third-party assignee have under an assignment of benefits?
The assignee must provide a copy of the AOB to your insurance company within 3 business days following its execution, or the date work commenced, whichever is earlier.
The assignee must comply with certain policyholder duties as stipulated by the policy including the responsibility to maintain records of all services provided, cooperate with the insurance company’s claim investigation and provide the insurance company with requested records and documents related to the services provided. As a pre-condition to filing suit, the assignee must submit to examinations under oath or recorded statements related to the services provided, the associated cost, and the AOB itself.
Is an assignment of benefits a legal contract? How can I get out of the contract?
Yes. An AOB is a legal contract and it must contain three specific cancellation provisions.
NOTE: Recent legislative changes prohibit a policyholder from assigning any post-loss benefits of a residential or commercial property insurance contract issued or renewed on or after January 1, 2023. Therefore, Assignment of Benefit agreements may not be established for claims made under contracts subject to this new law.
If I have suffered damage to my insured property, what should I do first?
If you have damage, you should take the necessary steps to mitigate the damage and prevent any additional damage from occurring. This would include any temporary repairs such as covering the roof or removing standing water. You should also immediately contact your insurance company to inform them of the damage and file a claim.
Do not allow a third party, such as a water remediation firm or contractor, to contact your insurance company for you. You should be the one to make the first contact with your insurance company. You do not need to sign an AOB in order to get your insurance claim processed or your residence repaired.
How does an assignment of benefits impact me, as a homeowner?
An AOB can be helpful with navigating the claims process, but if misused it can lead to harmful consequences. Below are a few things to keep in mind:
Tips to remember before and after you have suffered damage:
Below is a checklist that may be helpful when reporting a claim:
Assignment of Benefits (AOB) is an agreement that transfers the insurance claims rights or benefits of the policy to a third party. An AOB gives the third party authority to file a claim, make repair decisions, and collect insurance payments without the involvement of the homeowner. AOBs are commonly used in homeowners’ insurance claims by water remediation companies and contractors.
Assignor is a person who assigns insurance claims rights or policy benefits to another person or entity through an AOB.
Assignee or Third-Party is a person or entity who is assigned insurance claims rights or policy benefits through an AOB and has the authority to file a claim with the insurance company, make repair decisions and collect insurance payments without the involvement of the homeowner.
Contract for Repair is a legal agreement for repairs that outlines the scope and cost of repairs to be completed. A contract for repair may state a certain amount is due up front before repairs can be started. If an initial payment is required, it will be listed on the contract and state the remaining balance is to be paid upon completion of the work. Most insurance companies will honor a contract for repair and make the check for outstanding amounts payable to the policyholder and the contractor.
Direct Payment Authorization Clause provides authorization for the direct payment of any benefits or proceeds to the company that is performing the work. This clause is found in an AOB and a contract for repair. Depending on the language in the AOB or the contract for repair, the third party may be able to endorse checks received from the insurance company on behalf of the policyholder for services provided by them. Also, the policyholder is responsible for payment of their deductible and any additional work requested by the policyholder not covered by the insurance policy.
Power of Attorney is a legal document by which one person authorizes another person to take specific actions on behalf of that person, as stated in the document.
Hold Harmless Agreement is an agreement that releases and holds a company harmless against all liability claims in the event the work is halted prior to completion.

Contractors face an endless stretch of legal and business hurdles on a daily basis. They have to deal with weather, safety, personnel, material acquisition, permits, and needy homeowners. But, getting paid on residential construction work covered by a homeowner’s insurance policy should not be one of those hurdles because there is an easier way for contractors to get paid.
When a homeowner suffers a loss covered by their insurance policy, they have the right to assign their insurance benefits to the contractor making the repairs to their home. By doing this, the homeowner authorizes the insurance company to make the contractor a co-payee for that loss.
In most states, the law permits contractors to ask homeowners to assign their post-loss benefits to the contractor for the work they bid. This allows the contractor to receive payment directly from the homeowner’s insurance company. And, most importantly, helps the contractor avoid those dreaded situations where a homeowner receives their insurance payout but refuses to pay their contractor for its work.
Contractors, however, must beware of the many pitfalls that they can fall into with these post-loss assignments of benefit agreements. Failure to follow laws designed to protect insured homeowners can lead to a contractor’s entire contract becoming voided.
For example, a post-loss assignment of benefits has to be a written agreement. That agreement must contain certain language as set forth by statute, and the contractor has to place the homeowner’s insurance on notice of the assignment within a certain number of days depending on the jurisdiction.
Contractors also have to be careful not take certain forbidden actions on behalf of the homeowner. Some states like Iowa forbid a contractor from negotiating with a homeowner’s insurance company on the homeowner’s behalf. Other states strictly forbid a residential contractor from offering rebates on their deductible as an incentive for choosing their construction company for their job. Mistakes like these can cause a court to find the residential contractor’s entire agreement is void and unenforceable.
Finally, post-loss assignment of benefits under an insurance policy must include specific language depending on the jurisdiction that the contract is contemplated. For example, in Nebraska, a contractor must include the following language in all caps and in 14 pt. font for its assignment to be proper:
YOU ARE AGREEING TO ASSIGN CERTAIN RIGHTS YOU HAVE UNDER YOUR INSURANCE POLICY. WITH AN ASSIGNMENT, THE RESIDENTIAL CONTRACTOR SHALL BE ENTITLED TO PURSUE ANY RIGHTS OR REMEDIES THAT YOU, THE INSURED HOMEOWNER, HAVE UNDER YOUR INSURANCE POLICY. PLEASE READ AND UNDERSTAND THIS DOCUMENT BEFORE SIGNING.
THE INSURER MAY ONLY PAY FOR THE COST TO REPAIR OR REPLACE DAMAGED PROPERTY CAUSED BY A COVERED PERIL, SUBJECT TO THE TERMS OF THE POLICY.
IT IS A VIOLATION OF THE INSURANCE LAWS OF NEBRASKA TO REBATE ANY PORTION OF AN INSURANCE DEDUCTIBLE AS AN INDUCEMENT TO THE INSURED TO ACCEPT A RESIDENTIAL CONTRACTOR'S PROPOSAL TO REPAIR DAMAGED PROPERTY. REBATE OF A DEDUCTIBLE INCLUDES GRANTING ANY ALLOWANCE OR OFFERING ANY DISCOUNT AGAINST THE FEES TO BE CHARGED FOR WORK TO BE PERFORMED OR PAYING THE INSURED HOMEOWNER THE DEDUCTIBLE AMOUNT SET FORTH IN THE INSURANCE POLICY.
THE INSURED HOMEOWNER IS PERSONALLY RESPONSIBLE FOR PAYMENT OF THE DEDUCTIBLE. THE INSURANCE FRAUD ACT AND NEBRASKA CRIMINAL STATUTES PROHIBIT THE INSURED HOMEOWNER FROM ACCEPTING FROM A RESIDENTIAL CONTRACTOR A REBATE OF THE DEDUCTIBLE OR OTHERWISE ACCEPTING ANY ALLOWANCE OR DISCOUNT FROM THE RESIDENTIAL CONTRACTOR TO COVER THE COST OF THE DEDUCTIBLE. VIOLATIONS MAY BE PUNISHABLE BY CIVIL OR CRIMINAL PENALTIES.
The contractor must have the homeowner sign and date below this language as well. Then, after the post-loss assignment of benefits is executed, a residential contractor in Nebraska must provide a copy of the assignment to the homeowner’s insurance company within five business days.
By taking advantage of post-loss assignments of rights under an insurance policy, contractors can keep revenue streams open cand collections moving. And often times, these simple assignments can help a contractor avoid the headache of executing liens as well. Residential contractors, however, should remember that contracts can be tricky. Assignments like the one described above need to be properly incorporated into the contractor’s underlying contract and those contracts need to meet all necessary formalities under the law to be binding. Therefore, contractors should never hesitate to reach out to a construction lawyer who is familiar with construction contracts and litigation when they have questions about their contracts.
An Assignment of Benefits Form is a document that transfers the ownership of an insurance policy's benefits to another party. It also reassigns the rights and duties related to the policy between both parties.
A Assignment of Benefits form (AOB) is a document that assigns the benefits of an insurance policy to another party. This can be helpful if you need to transfer the benefits of an insurance policy to someone else, such as a family member or friend. It is important to note that assigning your benefits can also affect your ability to file a claim with the insurance company. Make sure you understand all the implications before signing an AOB.
