What this exam covers
5 real sample questions
Which statement correctly distinguishes “declaratory judgment” from related claim-handling concepts?
A. A file audit reviews claim handling quality, documentation, payment accuracy, reserves, and compliance
B. A declaratory judgment action asks a court to determine coverage rights or obligations
C. A waiver of subrogation can limit the insurer's recovery rights when validly agreed
D. A staged loss is an intentionally created or fabricated loss and may support fraud investigation
Show answer and reasoning

Correct answer: B. A declaratory judgment action asks a court to determine coverage rights or obligations

  • A: This states the rule for file audit: A file audit reviews claim handling quality, documentation, payment accuracy, reserves, and compliance. The question instead asks about declaratory judgment, which has a different trigger or coverage function.
  • C: This states the rule for waiver of subrogation: A waiver of subrogation can limit the insurer's recovery rights when validly agreed. The question instead asks about declaratory judgment, which has a different trigger or coverage function.
  • D: This states the rule for staged loss: A staged loss is an intentionally created or fabricated loss and may support fraud investigation. The question instead asks about declaratory judgment, which has a different trigger or coverage function.

An adjuster encounters an issue involving “file audit.” Which explanation is accurate?
A. Subrogation recovery allows an insurer that paid a covered loss to pursue the responsible party
B. Salvage value is the value of damaged property that can be sold or retained after loss settlement
C. An inflated claim exaggerates damages or values beyond the actual covered loss
D. A file audit reviews claim handling quality, documentation, payment accuracy, reserves, and compliance
Show answer and reasoning

Correct answer: D. A file audit reviews claim handling quality, documentation, payment accuracy, reserves, and compliance

  • A: This states the rule for subrogation recovery: Subrogation recovery allows an insurer that paid a covered loss to pursue the responsible party. The question instead asks about file audit, which has a different trigger or coverage function.
  • B: This states the rule for salvage value: Salvage value is the value of damaged property that can be sold or retained after loss settlement. The question instead asks about file audit, which has a different trigger or coverage function.
  • C: This states the rule for inflated claim: An inflated claim exaggerates damages or values beyond the actual covered loss. The question instead asks about file audit, which has a different trigger or coverage function.

Under Pennsylvania law, which category of claims adjuster is required to hold an individual license issued by the Pennsylvania Insurance Department (PID)?
A. Company (staff) adjusters employed directly by an insurer
B. Independent adjusters working under contract for multiple insurers
C. Public adjusters who represent insureds for compensation
D. Catastrophe adjusters deployed only after a declared disaster
Show answer and reasoning

Correct answer: C. Public adjusters who represent insureds for compensation

  • A: Pennsylvania does not require staff adjusters employed by an insurer to hold a separate adjuster license; the Public Adjuster Licensing Law governs only public adjusters.
  • B: Pennsylvania does not issue an independent adjuster license; independent adjusters working for insurers are not licensed under Pennsylvania's adjuster statute.
  • D: Catastrophe adjusters working for an insurer are treated the same as other company/independent adjusters and are not separately licensed in Pennsylvania.
Source: Public Adjuster Licensing Law, Act of Dec. 20, 1983, P.L. 260, No. 72, as amended (40 P.S. §§ 1601 et seq.)
A Texas-resident independent adjuster who wants to handle a hailstorm claim for an insurer's policyholder in Pennsylvania asks whether they need a Pennsylvania nonresident adjuster license first. What is the accurate answer?
A. No, Pennsylvania does not license independent or company adjusters at all, resident or nonresident
B. Yes, Pennsylvania issues nonresident independent adjuster licenses that must be obtained before adjusting any PA claim
C. Only if the claim exceeds $10,000 in estimated damage
D. Only if the adjuster is not already licensed as an adjuster in any state
Show answer and reasoning

Correct answer: A. No, Pennsylvania does not license independent or company adjusters at all, resident or nonresident

  • B: Pennsylvania has no independent adjuster licensing category, so there is no nonresident independent adjuster license to obtain.
  • C: Pennsylvania's lack of independent/company adjuster licensing is not tied to a claim-dollar threshold; no such license exists regardless of claim size.
  • D: The exemption is not conditioned on the adjuster's licensing status elsewhere; Pennsylvania simply does not regulate independent or staff adjusters under its adjuster licensing statute.

Under the Pennsylvania Public Adjuster Licensing Law, a 'public adjuster' is statutorily defined based primarily on which activity?
A. Advertising, soliciting, or holding oneself out as adjusting insurance claims for compensation on behalf of an insured
B. Selling first-party property insurance policies directly to consumers
C. Performing underwriting reviews for an insurance carrier
D. Representing an insurance company in claim litigation before the Insurance Commissioner
Show answer and reasoning

Correct answer: A. Advertising, soliciting, or holding oneself out as adjusting insurance claims for compensation on behalf of an insured

  • B: Selling policies is producer activity governed by separate producer licensing law, not the definition of a public adjuster.
  • C: Underwriting review is a carrier function unrelated to the statutory public adjuster definition.
  • D: Representing an insurer in litigation is not the conduct that triggers public adjuster status; a public adjuster represents the insured, not the insurer.
