AMI policyholders who cash settled with Southern Response prior to October 2014 may be eligible for an additional payment of certain professional fees and contingencies if they have not previously been paid those costs.

Am I Eligible?

To help you understand whether you may be eligible for the Pre-October 2014 Payment Package, please answer the questions below:


Did you own a house insured by AMI and make an insurance claim for damage to that property arising from the Canterbury Earthquake Sequence

Please choose an option.

Did you settle your insurance claim with AMI or Southern Response between 10 September 2010 and 1 October 2014?

Please choose an option.

Did you cash settle your claim with Southern Response (as opposed to Southern Response managing the repair or rebuild of your home)?

Please choose an option.

Because you answered ‘Yes’ to all of these questions, you may be eligible for the Pre-October 2014 Payment Package and we encourage you to apply.
