Certification, Licensing, and Special Requirements
Certification or Licensing
Two voluntary certification opportunities are available to claims representatives. The Institutes offers a series of courses culminating in a comprehensive examination; passing the exam earns the taker the associate in claims designation. LOMA International and the International Claim Association offer life and health claims credential programs for people interested in working as claims examiners; both programs lead to a professional designation.
Most states require licensing of claims representatives. The requirements for licensing vary and may include age restrictions, state residency, education in such classes as loss adjusting or insurance, character references, and written examinations.
