Frequently asked questions about MAS claims and insurance

What do I do if my house isn't safe to live in due to an event?
First, take the time to make sure everyone involved is safe and, if you need to, call emergency services.
If your home is unsafe to live in following an event, we may pay for temporary accommodation for you, your family and your domestic pets while we arrange the repair or rebuild of your home.
You can find the full details of how we cover you in your policy document.
Who do I contact if I have a natural hazard event claim?
In the event your home is damaged by a natural hazard event, please contact MAS to make a claim. We will assess and manage your claim from start to finish, including the NHCover portion on behalf of the Natural Hazards Commission Toka Tū Ake. This means we will assess, manage and settle your entire claim. MAS will be your single point of contact during the claim process and can answer any questions you have. Head to 'Get to know your cover' to find out what’s covered if disaster hits your home.
What is an excess?
An excess is an amount you pay towards your claim, before your insurer covers the rest. You can find your excess on your policy documents or by logging into your myMAS account.
What is a loss adjuster and what do they do?
MAS may appoint a loss adjuster to assist you with your claim. They are independent and will provide MAS details of your claim, which we can then be used to determine the cover available to you under your policy. The loss adjusters often have access to skilled experienced tradesmen to undertake repairs.
What do I do if my car has been stolen?
If you think your car has been stolen or was intentionally damaged, you need to report it to the police as soon as possible. They’ll give you an incident reference number that you’ll need to lodge your claim with us.
What is policy ownership and who should own my policy?
There are typically 3 roles in an insurance policy: the insured, the payer and the owner. Understanding these roles is important when it comes to Life Insurance policies. Only an owner has control over the policy and its benefits, including the ability to make changes like adjusting coverage levels, changing the beneficiaries and transferring ownership of the policy. They are also the recipient of any claim paid under the policy. Learn more in our Hub article on policy ownership.
