It has been more than one year since The Florida Legislature passed a bill that significantly impacted the assignment of benefits (AOB) industry. The bill took effect  July 1, 2019. Roofers, contractors and mitigation companies continue to feel the tremors of the new changes of House Bill 7065.

The bill requires that certain language be included in the assignment of benefits contract, provides timeframes to submit documents, and requires various conditions be met for an AOB claim to be compliant. These new requirements heavily impact whether an AOB company will be paid for its work.
