I misunderstood the question for hurricane damage and no longer want to claim it but it won't let me back out. How do I do so?

• Click My Info (left of your screen).
• On the Personal Info screen, click the pencil icon at the far right. (Click the first screenshot below to enlarge it for reference.)
• Scroll to the bottom of the Your personal info screen and click Continue.
