The Georgia Workers' Compensation Adjuster license

Workers' Compensation Adjuster

An adjuster whose license is limited to workers' compensation insurance, and who may not represent an insured individual. Georgia asks it for no course and no paper: the qualification is a designation, and the license is the only one here whose continuing education can be shortened by taking it from another agency of the same state.

Course

None

This license has no pre-licensing course route.

Ways in

3

None of them requires a state exam, because this license has none.

Exam

Not required on any of the routes below.

Every way to qualify

More than one route leads to this license, and which one you take changes what you study and whether you sit the exam. There is no pre-licensing course among them: this license is qualified for by a designation already held or moving here already licensed.

  1. Route 1 Hold the Certified Workers' Compensation Professional designation

    No state exam for this license

    • The Certified Workers' Compensation Professional (CWCP) designation, with the certificate attached to the license application. Neither rule 120-2-3-.25(3)(b) nor the Office's page names the body that awards it.

    Rule 120-2-3-.25(3)(b) is the whole qualification: "Applicants must hold and submit proof of the designation of CWCP, CPCU, or qualify under Rule". Rule 120-2-3-.09(1)(k) then exempts a CWCP holder from examination by name, which is the only place in the chapter a single designation is written into the examination rule for a single license.

  2. Route 2 Hold the CPCU or a Universal Claims Certification

    No state exam for this license

    • CPCU Chartered Property and Casualty Underwriter, from The Institutes

    • or

      The Universal Claims Certification (UCC), evidenced on the application. Neither the Commissioner's rule nor the Office's page names the body that awards it, and the Office's continuing education chart exempts a UCC holder from every hour of continuing education an adjuster otherwise owes.

    The Office's page puts it plainly under its own heading: "Waiver of Pre-licensing course and examination can be granted if applicant holds CPCU designation."Its license table adds the UCC beside it.

  3. Route 3 Move to Georgia holding the same lines and apply within 90 days

    No state exam for this license

    • 90 days Licensed for these same lines in the previous home state, with that license active at the time of the move, the original clearance letter from that state attached to the application, and the application filed within 90 days of the move. Nothing else is asked on this route.

No national seller sells a course for this license, which is what a license qualified by a designation rather than by a course looks like. Georgia's approved-course register holds no course in a workers' compensation subject either.
