The requirements of Citizens are not unreasonable, but I just do not think 45 or 46 vendors on the list  could make the first paycheck within about 3 weeks after the first loss is turned in. I would  guess only about 10 to 15% have the capitol to make the first payroll on time.

Why dont the blood sucking vendors ask Citizens for a $2,000 advance paid to each adjuster who shows up ON TIME (as required) as an advance on the x-mate boot up and living expense until the first pay check. In the good old USA this is known as "good faith" and "supply and demand in times of great need" hmmm....why dont all you hungary fools who are forced to use xactimate ask for what is right ??? xactimate profiles are a tool for the carrier and should be paid by the carrier. stop getting pushed around, ask or you will never receive.

The motto of 2008; No way unless 2K today. Send this to ever hungary fool you know.

The vendors who are on the Texas TWIA list have a list of committed adjusters who work for each vendor and they are paid several hundred a year to show up at the annual meeting. They must convince the vendor they will show when called or they will not be on the list. I never made the commitment as I wanted to shop for the highest $ potential. Now has Citizens thought about this ? I always thought all contracts had to have consideration paid and I know a bunch of us have received a $1.00 in January each year from the largest cat. vendor to keep us on the temp.employee status.

I am sure that the most of you carry a strong sense of common sense. If Citizens were to start running out of claims money, you should know that the adjuster fee bill will be the first cut in the line. Policyholder payment is priority, per Citizens rules and payment for claim adjusters will be last, in other words, they run out of dough, and your out in the snow. Of course your not going to have that kind of investment anyway, just several thousands of dollars for Hotel, Food, Estimating system(s), transportation you won't be reimbursed for and then the small investiment in fuel. Better keep your pay in a hidden belt.

FYI,

I just got done with a citizens  face to face and to me it was adjusting 101. It was a waste of time and i am so glad that it was free. I cannot believe the steps we will have to go thru to send a file. It also does not make sence why we have to use xactimate 25.1 the only thing they will need is the estimate that we pull out of the program and send in pdf format. For what their fee schedule is it is not worth the time. What they expect is only good if the files are done on a T&E basis. Again this is just my opinion and they are a choice of last resort. I for one will work for anyone else first.

Lenny,

Do you know anyone that did'nt get paid by NADO?
