I asked a question on Claimsmentor.com and it has turned into a question that I am glad I asked. If you have a Florida non-resident or resident license, I strongly recommend you go to this web sight and check your status.Quote:(j) A nonresident who must complete continuing education requirements in his or her home state may use the home state requirements to meet this state's continuing education requirements as well, if the resident's state recognizes reciprocity with this state's continuing education requirements. A nonresident whose home state does not have a continuing education requirement but is licensed for the same class of business in another state which does have a continuing education requirement may comply with this section by furnishing proof of compliance with the other state's requirement if that state has a reciprocal agreement with this state relative to continuing education. A nonresident whose home state does not have such continuing education requirements, and who is not licensed as a nonresident agent in a state that has continuing education requirements and reciprocates with this state, must meet the continuing education requirements of this state.Have you been appointed yet? I thought the vendor's did the appointing.
Apparently I was wrong. You can self appoint and I recommend you do it tommorrow, or you may not be able to work in Florida if a cat hits. They require CE credits from all, regardless of what state your are licensed in. I was under the impression that this was not true, As Arkansas does not require CE.
Florida Public Adjuster State Exam Questions
CE must be done within a 24 month calendar. Appointment must be made 48 months after the initial license is given. Check it out folks, it is important, so I found out.You can review your appointment status on this web sight. All is done on the internet now, they will not accept mail ins.Get er done folks, before it is too late. Tom, I'm glad you posted that here. Wstj:I'd contact the FL DFS directly and get specifics as we are getting new information from Dr Birzon in our ongoing discussion on ClaimSmentor regarding the appointments.
According to a recent post over the weekend, he advises that the appointments have to be changed from self appointing to the adjusting firm you are working with and back again to self appointing when you are done with an assignment. I just got off the phone with an appointment clerk. This is what she told me:Staff adjusters must be appointed by a carrier. They do NOT have the choice to be self appointed.(620 license)The only licensed people allowed to self appoint are Independent adjusters and Public adjusters.(Indp is 520 license)Appointments for ALL folks are due within 48 months of getting your license. The cost right now is approximately 60.00. Once you have either self appointed or gotten an appointment from an Independent adjusting firm, you have to RENEW the appointment within 24 months and every 24 months thereafter. It's a bit confusing to e-appoint.
First you have to go through the whole cycle of filling out the online forms to make yourself an appointing entity. You get 2 different emails with codes and an appointing entity number. Here is the response I received from FDFS.I am responding to your email on behalf of the Chief Financial Officer, Alex Sink. A review of our records indicate you currently obtain a state appointment with Pilot Catastrophe Svc Inc/Miami effective 7/5/06 for a nonresident property and casualty independent adjuster. However, you must be appointed in each county you will transact business in. You can only hold one active appointment for the 75-44.If we may be of further assistance, please contact us at 850-413-3137.Sincerely,Bernadette PettisGovernment Analyst IAgent/Agency LicensingDepartment of Financial Services.
I agree with Tom that the only way to be sure you will not run into issues with the DFS is to self appoint. The only exceptions would be staff (who can't self-appoint) or those who maintain a long term relationship with one vendor and know that vendor is doing the appointing and renewals. I have never heard anything or read anything on the DFS website about 'County Appointments.'
Perhaps that is for agents??I wanted to make a little clarification about Deb's statement that CE's are not due for the first 24 months you have a FL license. This depends on your birth month. Your 24 months start with the next birthday you have after you are licensed.
Nelson & I were first licensed in FL 10/05. Because of our birthdays, my CE's are due 12/07 (December birth month) and Nelson's are due 4/08 (April birth month.)Luckily, it is very easy go to 'My Profile' on the DFS website to see your CE cutoff date for CE's and check your appointments.Kim. I agree this is getting stranger by the moment(the appointment by County?????). I'm going to forward that info to Dr Birzon(without the adjusters name) and see if he can get us a clarification since he speaks directly with DFS and can get us a definitive answer. As to the birthdays, interesting since the DFS person I spoke with gave me a date other than my birthday month that my CE's were due. It seems we are each getting different answers depending on who we are speaking with. What happened to the simplier days when my carrier took care of license renewals and CE reporting.lol.
