Tom, this afternoon I talked with two different sources in Appleton, Wisconsin who tell me that Eberl's is handling hail claims in the Appleton/Green Bay area for American Family Insurance. One of these sources is a long time adjuster with Eberl's. According to both sources, Eberl's has 60+/- adjusters in Appleton working the hailstorm damages and 40 of their adjusters have never worked a hail storm before now, this one being their first.

Two years ago, American Family was using NCA to handle the 1998 Appleton area hailstorm.

Wanna bet that 2 years from now American Family will be using another vendor?

Go figure!

Jim, I believe that there are several factors involved. One is that a vendor may feel that with youth there is more endurance and the more roofs inspected a day the more income for all involved. Also one may feel that the amount of trouble you can get in on a hail claim is rather limited as compared to other losses, and will use more experienced adjusters in other roles.

Paladin and Steve Florig, here is the serious question which you both seem to be asking and which we need to try and answer:

"Why are so many well experienced adjusters at home right now?"

How about some help and wisdom from some of you experienced adjusters on this one?

A reader emailed this week, with the following question (he wished to remain anonymous):

Why are so many really good, experienced, and knowledgable adjusters still at home while so many newer and less experienced adjusters are out on storm assignments?

I thought it was an excellent question, and one which I am sure will generate much response, from "Old Timers" and "Newbees" alike.

Post and share your thoughts.

KENTUCKY NON-RESIDENT ADJUSTER LICENSE INFORMATION

I received the following email from a reader and post it here as well as our CADO response.
____________________

Hi - I just visited CADO for the 1st time, and couldn't find what I was looking for. A friend suggested I email you for assistance.

I am licensed in Texas, but am working in the Midwest, and need to get a Kentucky license. Is there reciprocity? I have been told of adjusters that took their Texas license in with $45.00 and obtained a license. If so, who do I talk to, or where do I go to do this? I know there is a class and a test, as the company where I'm working is sending several of their inside staffers to training as we speak...

Any help or directions are GREATLY appreciated.

PS: Been storming for about 5 years,,,,working a Temporary job right now.
_________________________________________

Essie, here is what I think you are looking for, and I hope it is what you need. If not please let me know, and I will do more research.

The Kentucky Department of Insurance is located in Frankfort, Kentucky and you can call their agent licensing service division at 1-800-595-6053 or email them at DOIAgentLicensingMail@mail.state.ky.us They also have a website at http://www.doi.state.ky.us/

The mailing address for the Kentucky Department of Insurance is P.O. Box 517, Frankfort, Kentucky 40602-0517.

You can download the adjuster licensing information for filling at the Kentucky adjuster's application at http://www.doi.state.ky.us/AgentLicense/documents/8301i.pdf

You can also download the Kentucky adjuster's license application at http://www.doi.state.ky.us/AgentLicense/documents/8301new.pdf You can then complete the application and mail it to Frankfort for processing thus saving a trip to the state capital.

From reading the Kentucky adjuster license requirements, you can obtain a temporary license as a non-resident for $20.00 or you can obtain a non-resident license for $50.00. Kentucky will waive the requirement for examinations for non-residents as long as you send them a certification from your home state Department of Insurance showing that you are licensed at home.

Please feel free to email me if you have additional questions or I can provide further information.
