Premium Offsets are not taken when making a direct payment to an ARP shop.

In other words, the payment made to the ARP shop is not reduced by any premium offsets that the individual may have. Therefore, the statement "Premium Offsets are not taken when making a direct payment to an ARP shop" is true.Rate this question:

Accounts Dept.
- B.
Underwriting Dept.
- C.
Claims Dept.
- D.
Re-insurance Dept.
Correct Answer
A. Accounts Dept.Explanation
Before applying the premium offset, the Claims Examiner needs to confirm with the Accounts Department that payment has not been received. This is important because the premium offset is a process where any outstanding claims are deducted from the premium owed by the insured. By checking with the Accounts Department, the Claims Examiner ensures that the payment has not already been received, preventing any errors or double payments. The Accounts Department is responsible for managing the financial transactions and records of the company, including payments received.Rate this question:

How long does NYCM wait before processing stop payments on checks not received by the customer assuming the address was correct at the time of payment.
- A.
2 days
- B.
5 days
- C.
2 weeks
- D.
1 month
Correct Answer
C. 2 weeksExplanation
NYCM waits for 2 weeks before processing stop payments on checks not received by the customer assuming the address was correct at the time of payment. This is likely because they allow a reasonable amount of time for the customer to receive the check before taking action to stop the payment. Waiting for 2 weeks gives the customer ample time to receive the check and report any issues or non-receipt to NYCM.Rate this question:

The S18 does not get sent on double-insured files; however, the L74A is generated under each claim if needed.
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
The statement is true because it states that the S18 does not get sent on double-insured files. This means that the S18 form, which is likely a specific document or process, is not required for cases where there is double insurance coverage. On the other hand, the statement also mentions that the L74A is generated under each claim if needed. This implies that the L74A form, which could be another document or process, is only generated when necessary. Therefore, the correct answer is true.Rate this question:

- B.
False
Correct Answer
B. FalseExplanation
The correct answer is False. The statement suggests that the L74A should be sent to the claimant when a summons and complaint has been received as the first notice of a loss. However, this is incorrect. The L74A form is typically used to report a loss to the insurance company, not to the claimant. Therefore, the correct action would be to send the L74A form to the insurance company, not the claimant.Rate this question:

A. No deductibles are taken from any of the insureds involved
B. A second claim should be set up under the other insured's policy
C. The Certificate of Repair is generated under each file; however, may be sent under the "at fault" party's file.
D. Add an IDMG note indicating the file is a double insured file.Explanation
Double insured files refer to situations where there are multiple insurance policies that cover the same loss or damage. In such cases, no deductibles are taken from any of the insureds involved, meaning that none of the policyholders have to pay a deductible for their claim. Additionally, a second claim should be set up under the other insured's policy, ensuring that both policies are utilized to cover the loss. The Certificate of Repair is generated under each file, but it may be sent under the "at fault" party's file, indicating that the responsible party's insurance may handle the paperwork. Lastly, it is important to add an IDMG note indicating that the file is a double insured file, to ensure proper handling and coordination between the insurers involved.Rate this question:
