What do I do if I completed a flood insurance job that I have not been paid for by the customer even though the insurance company released the money?
I am a contractor that completed a flood insurance job for a customer. The insurance company approved my work and released payment to the customer’s bank. The customer then decided she does not want to pay. How do I find out if the money is still in the bank so I know whether or not to sue her? I do not have the account number so the bank won’t talk to me even though the money belongs to me.

Whether the money is still in the bank is not the issue. You did the job and should be paid. You should either prepare to sue her in a small claim court or find a lawyer to help you sue her to get your money back.
