Adjuster Licensing Requirements and Staff Adjusters

# VERMONT DEPARTMENT OF FINANCIAL REGULATION ## INSURANCE DIVISION BULLETIN 172 ### ADJUSTER LICENSING REQUIREMENTS AND STAFF ADJUSTERS The Department has received a number of inquiries from insurers asking if Vermont law provides an exception to the adjuster licensing requirement if the individual adjusting is a staff adjuster of the insurer. The answer is no, there is no exception for the adjuster licensing requirement, unless the insurer is a Vermont domestic fire or casualty company. See Title 8 V.S.A. § 4791(3). Insurers should review their licensing protocols to ensure their adjusters handling Vermont claims are properly licensed.
