Sample questions & answers
1. Property and casualty insurers and producers in Vermont are primarily regulated by:
The Department of Financial Regulation
The Department of Financial Regulation has jurisdiction over and supervises insurance companies and insurance agents. Its Insurance Division handles licensing, rates and forms, and consumer complaints.
2. A Vermont resident who will sell only homeowners and personal auto insurance to families may qualify with which line of authority?
Personal lines
The personal lines authority covers property and casualty insurance sold to individuals and families for primarily noncommercial purposes. A full property and casualty qualification would also work, but it is not among the choices.
3. A Vermont property insurer that, without reasonable basis, repeatedly delays paying valid claims may be committing:
An unfair claim settlement practice
Refusing to pay claims without a reasonable investigation, or failing to settle promptly when liability is reasonably clear, done often enough to indicate a business practice, is an unfair claim settlement practice under § 4724(9).
4. A producer who gives an auto insurance client a prohibited cash inducement not stated in the policy is engaged in:
Rebating
Offering an inducement not specified in the policy, such as a refund of part of the premium, is rebating. Vermont prohibits it for fire and casualty insurers and their agents.
