D. All adjusters, regardless of who they represent
Show answer and reasoning

Correct answer: C. Public adjusters who represent insureds in first-party property claims

  • A: Illinois does not require company/staff adjusters to hold an individual adjuster license; insurers operate under their own certificate of authority.
  • B: Illinois does not license independent adjusters as a separate category the way some states (e.g., Texas, Florida) do.
  • D: Illinois's licensing scope is limited to public adjusters under Article XLV; it does not license every adjuster type.
Source: 215 ILCS 5/1510, 1515 (Public Adjusters Law, Article XLV)

A. Any person not falling within a stated statutory exemption
B. Any person, regardless of exemption status
C. Only business entities, not individuals
D. Only nonresidents of Illinois
Show answer and reasoning

  • C: The licensing requirement applies to individuals as well as business entities.
  • D: The requirement applies to Illinois residents and nonresidents alike.
Source: 215 ILCS 5/1515
An insurer's staff adjuster who investigates and settles first-party claims solely on behalf of the insurer that employs them is:
A. Required to hold a separate Illinois public adjuster license
B. Required to hold an Illinois independent adjuster license
C. Exempt only if they also hold a producer license
D. Not subject to Article XLV's public adjuster licensing requirement because they represent the insurer, not the insured
Show answer and reasoning

Correct answer: D. Not subject to Article XLV's public adjuster licensing requirement because they represent the insurer, not the insured

  • A: Public adjuster licensure under Article XLV applies to persons representing insureds, not insurer employees.
  • B: Illinois has no separate 'independent adjuster' license category.
  • C: Holding a producer license is unrelated to and does not substitute for public adjuster licensure, and is not required here.
Source: 215 ILCS 5/1510, 1515
Under 215 ILCS 5/1510, "adjusting a claim" is defined as:
A. Collecting insurance premiums on behalf of an insurer

C. Issuing a certificate of authority to an insurer
D. Filing a proof of loss with the Department of Insurance
Show answer and reasoning

Correct answer: B. Negotiating values, damages, or depreciation, or applying loss circumstances to insurance policy provisions

  • A: Premium collection is a producer/agent function, not the statutory definition of adjusting a claim.
  • C: Certificates of authority are issued by the Department to insurers, unrelated to the definition of adjusting a claim.
  • D: Filing a proof of loss is a claims-handling step, not the statutory definition itself.
Source: 215 ILCS 5/1510
