  • stating that current expenditures are limited to $5,000
  • stating “when WYO companies deplete their net premium income, a phenomenon that occurs regularly because the companies must forfeit a significant portion of the proceeds from their premiums, they draw money from FEMA through letters of credit to disburse claims”
