General patterns reported on this type of claim — not specific findings about USAA. Every claim turns on its own policy and facts.
USAA membership is required to buy a policy. Eligibility is limited to those serving or who served honorably in the U.S. military, and their eligible family members (spouses and children of USAA members). Coverage is written by United Services Automobile Association (NAIC #25941) and its affiliates. If you are not eligible, you cannot obtain or transfer a USAA homeowners policy.
Report a claim at 1-800-531-8722 or through the USAA Claims Center at usaa.com; confirm the current number on their site. To dispute a decision, request the full claim file and the specific policy basis in writing. Florida offers free Department of Financial Services mediation for residential property claims, and most policies include an appraisal clause for amount-of-loss disputes. In Florida you generally have 1 year from the date of loss to give notice (§ 627.70132); South Carolina applies a contractual suit-limitation period — confirm your dates with counsel.
