We have a lot of vocabulary to learn with this Congres..

TRIP - Terrorism Risk Insurance Program
TRIA - Terrorism Risk Insurance Act of 2002
TRIEA - Terrorism Risk Insurance Extension Act of 2005
TRIPRA - Terrorism Risk Insurance Program Reauthorization Act - 2007

Terrorism Risk Insurance Program (TRIP) (click here)



On December 22, 2005, the President signed into law The Terrorism Risk Insurance Extension Act of 2005 (Pub. L. 109-144, 119 Stat. 2660) [TRIEA]. The law extended the life of TRIP through December 31, 2007.

On December 26, 2007, the President signed into law the Terrorism Risk Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 2007 (Pub. L. 110-160, 121 Stat. 1839) [TRIPRA]. The law extended the life of TRIP through December 31, 2014.

TRIA, related rules found in 31 C.F.R. Part 50 contain certain definitions, requirements, and procedures for insurers filing claims with Treasury for payment of the Federal share of compensation for insured losses under the TRIP. The Claims Procedures Rule, in particular, specifically addresses requirements for Federal payment, the submission of an initial notice of insured loss, loss certifications, the timing and process for payment, associated recordkeeping requirements, as well as Treasury’s audit and investigation authority. These procedures will apply to all insurers that wish to receive their payment of the Federal share of compensation for insured losses under TRIA. Insurers are advised to review the legislation and TRIP regulations before submitting information.

Additional materials addressing the TRIA, TRIEA, TRIPRA and TRIP, including Treasury issued interpretive letters, are contained on this website. Also, a “browsable” version of all of Treasury’s TRIP related regulations can be accessed through the Electronic Code of Federal Regulations.

I haven't read any of the law, but, it would be interesting to read the definitions. I just find it interesting that in 2005 and 2007 and with the new reauthorization in 2015 there is still the need for insurance from terrorism. I guess AIG doesn't cover acts of god.

Indeed.
