Beginning January 2011, producers will be required to comply with continuing education and license renewal requirements by the last day of the producer’s month of birth. An individual born in an odd-numbered year must comply every odd-numbered year. An individual born in an even-numbered year must comply every even-numbered year. For example, a producer born in May 1971 will be required to comply by May 31, 2011 and every odd-numbered year thereafter whereas a producer born in May 1970 will be required to comply by May 31, 2012 and every even-numbered year thereafter.

Kentucky:
The Kentucky Department of Insurance (DOI) is announcing a new eServices option to assist insurers following a Kentucky DECLARED Catastrophic Event. Effective immediately, insurers can submit a list of unlicensed adjusters (those licensed in other states but not in Kentucky) through the company’s secure eServices account. The unlicensed adjuster(s) will be either staff or contract adjusters working on behalf of the insurer to adjust Kentucky policyholder claims. The electronic submission may be
entered up to 10 days prior to the start date. The DOI will approve unlicensed adjuster(s) for a 90-day period. Only insurers are authorized to complete the online submission.
