What I want to know is that for example, if my house gets completely destroyed by a hurricane, will my insurer pay me living expenses till I can rebuild my home? _________________ Register Now to have your Insurance queries solved.

Apart from that you need to check your particular policy to check the names of perils mentioned to get an idea what all is covered. Check your policy also to know if it provides Additional Living Expenses (ALE), as all policies might not provide it. If your policy does provide for ALE, then the period as well as the amount of it would be limited as per the coverage limit and terms. ALE does cover expenses for food, lodging, commuting etc up to a period while your house gets rebuilt.	Monawayne Preferred member Joined: 12 Sep 2011 Posts: 119 Location: Arizona 11.98 Dollars($)
