The Reauthorization Advisory Task Force (RATF) is a special committee of the NAFIS Board of Directors. Its primary function is to establish and oversee the association’s reauthorization of Impact Aid process. RATF is to direct the Data Verification Group (DVG) to look at formula options as per the reauthorization issues raised by the NAFIS membership.
RATF reviews the results of the DVG and identifies needed changes in the reauthorization language. RATF then makes recommendations to the NAFIS membership for final approval.
