NASDA MOTOR VEHICLE INSURANCE
REGULATION
As an employee of NASDA, you are not covered under
the Federal Tort Claims Act. You must have motor
vehicle liability insurance which meets the minimum
requirement for your State. You should contact your
insurance company to determine if additional coverage
is needed. Survey work qualifies as a non-farm
business. Insurance companies generally require a
higher rate for cars and trucks used in a non-farm
business in comparison with vehicles used solely for
farm work. NASDA does have comprehensive
liability insurance covering their liability in excess of
insurance carried by Enumerators. Should you fail to
inform you insurance company that you are engaged in
a non-farm business with you motor vehicle, you could
face possible cancellation of the policy if you are
involved in an accident.
