5 real sample questions

Which statement correctly describes Wisconsin's regulatory approach to claims adjusters?

A. Wisconsin licenses staff, independent, and catastrophe adjusters the same way most other states do

B. Wisconsin does NOT require a license for staff, independent, or catastrophe adjusters; Wisconsin is one of the states that does not license those adjuster types, while public adjusters are separately addressed under a registration framework

C. Wisconsin requires all adjusters, of every type, to pass a national adjuster exam before working any claim in the state

D. Wisconsin only allows attorneys to adjust claims

Source: Wis. Stat. § 628.03; OCI Public Adjuster guidance

A Wisconsin resident who wants to become a full-time licensed independent claims adjuster working across multiple states, given that Wisconsin does not license independent adjusters, commonly:

A. Cannot legally work as an adjuster in any state

B. Obtains a nonresident 'designated home state' (DHS) license from a state that does license independent adjusters (such as Florida or Texas), since Wisconsin has no home-state license to designate

C. Must relocate permanently to another state before adjusting any claims

D. Is automatically licensed nationwide due to Wisconsin residency

Source: OCI Public Adjuster guidance

In a property insurance claim, a 'proof of loss' is best described as:

A. A verbal statement made to a neighbor about the damage

B. A formal, often sworn, statement submitted by the policyholder detailing the loss, including the amount claimed and supporting documentation, as required by the policy

C. The adjuster's internal file notes

D. A police report only, with no other documentation ever needed

Source: General claims adjusting principles (industry-standard content)

Regarding public adjusters (who represent policyholders, not insurers, in first-party claims), which statement accurately reflects Wisconsin's requirement?

A. All public adjusters, resident and nonresident, are exempt from any registration in Wisconsin

B. Nonresident public adjusters must register with OCI to operate in Wisconsin; Wisconsin resident public adjusters may choose to register with OCI, though registration is not mandatory for residents

C. Public adjusters are treated identically to insurance producers and must complete the same 20-hour prelicensing curriculum as a Casualty producer
