• Agents who take first notice of loss and coach clients through claims

• Producers who want to reduce complaints and claim disputes
• Agents who need property and casualty CE credit toward the state renewal total

✅ Does This Course Satisfy the State Requirement?

This course provides 3 approved hours toward the 24 hours a Mississippi producer must complete when the license has been in effect 19 to 24 months, or toward the 12 hours required at 13 to 18 months. It does not satisfy the full requirement on its own, and it does not satisfy the separate 3-hour ethics requirement. You will need additional approved hours, including an approved ethics course, to complete your renewal.

Mississippi does not permit hours to carry over into the next license period, and the same course may not be repeated for credit inside one period. Track what you have already taken before enrolling.

✅ Mississippi Continuing Education Requirements

Mississippi ties the continuing education requirement to how long your license has been in effect. A producer whose license has been in effect for 19 to 24 months completes 24 hours of continuing education including three hours of ethics. A producer whose license has been in effect for 13 to 18 months completes 12 hours. Licenses expire on the last day of the licensee's birth month on a biennial basis, so your own birth month — not a statewide calendar date — sets your deadline.

• 24 hours including 3 hours of ethics for a license in effect 19 to 24 months
• 12 hours for a license in effect 13 to 18 months
• Licenses expire on the last day of your birth month, biennially
• Licenses may be renewed online beginning 90 days before the expiration date
• Hours do not carry over from one license period to the next, and the same course may not be repeated within a license period
• Only courses approved by the Mississippi Insurance Department count toward the requirement

Because the total depends on how many months your license has actually been in effect, the Mississippi Insurance Department publishes CE calculation charts for property and casualty and for life, accident and health licensees. Check your own license record and the applicable chart before assuming the 24-hour total applies to you, and contact the MID Licensing Division at licensing@mid.ms.gov or (601) 359-3582 if your months in effect are unclear.

How this course helps: This 3-hour course contributes 3 of the 24 hours a Mississippi resident producer must complete when the license has been in effect 19 to 24 months, or 3 of the 12 hours required at 13 to 18 months. It is approved in the Property & Casualty category. It carries general continuing education credit rather than ethics credit, so the separate 3-hour ethics requirement must still be met with an approved ethics course. Mississippi does not permit carryover, so plan the remaining hours inside the same license period.

✅ When Do Licensees Renew?

Mississippi producer licenses expire on the last day of the licensee's birth month on a biennial basis, and the department allows online renewal beginning 90 days before that expiration date. Continuing education must be completed during the license period, and Mississippi does not permit hours to be carried into the next period, so finishing early satisfies the current period without building a cushion for the next. Mississippi also does not allow the same course to be repeated for credit within a single license period, which matters when you are assembling hours from more than one provider.

✅ How to Renew Your License

1. Confirm your birth month and expiration date — Your license expires on the last day of your birth month on a biennial basis. Confirm the exact date on your license record before planning coursework.
2. Determine how many months your license has been in effect — This decides whether you owe 24 hours or 12. Use the Mississippi Insurance Department's CE calculation chart for your license type, or call the Licensing Division.
3. Complete the required hours, including 3 in ethics — The 24-hour requirement includes three hours of ethics. A general course does not satisfy that portion — verify the ethics credits specifically.
4. Do not repeat a course within the same license period — Mississippi will not give credit twice for the same course inside one period. Track what you have already taken before enrolling.
5. Allow provider reporting time before your deadline — Finish coursework early enough for completions to post. Do not schedule your last course for the final days of your birth month.
6. Renew online and confirm — Renewal opens 90 days before expiration. Submit the renewal, pay the fee, and afterward verify that your record shows an active status and an updated expiration date.

✅ What You Will Learn

• Define material misrepresentation, intent, and loss causation as they operate in property and casualty claims
• Recognize auto fraud patterns including staged accidents, exaggerated injuries, towing and storage abuses, and paper collisions
• Recognize property-claim fraud including contractor solicitation fraud, inflated scope and pricing, and post-loss misrepresentation
• Walk a client through the claims lifecycle — notice of loss, investigation, coverage review, valuation, settlement, dispute — without overpromising an outcome
• Document a suspected-fraud concern and escalate it properly while still supporting a legitimate claimant
• Apply fair claims handling principles — timeliness, transparency, documentation, respectful treatment — to reduce complaints

✅ Course Content Overview

Hour 1: Fraud Fundamentals and Common P&C Fraud Schemes

• Introduce the purpose of antifraud efforts and define key fraud concepts (material misrepresentation, intent, and loss causation) in the context of P&C insurance.
• Review auto-related fraud patterns (staged accidents, exaggerated injuries, towing/storage abuses, and “paper collisions”) to help agents recognize early red flags.
• Examine property-claim fraud schemes (contractor solicitation fraud, inflated scope/pricing, assignment-related misunderstandings, and post-loss misrepresentation) to reduce preventable claim escalation.
• Cover documentation and verification best practices (photos, receipts, inventories, timelines, and consistency checks) to strengthen claim credibility and support accurate loss reporting.

Hour 2: Claims Handling Best Practices, Ethics, and Client Assistance Boundaries

• Outline the standard claims lifecycle (notice of loss, investigation, coverage review, valuation, settlement, and dispute pathways) so agents can set realistic expectations without overpromising outcomes.
• Reinforce ethical obligations and professional conduct emphasizing truthful communication, avoiding coaching misstatements, and maintaining consumer-protective practices during stressful claim events.
• Address fraud indicators and escalation practices including how to document concerns, when to recommend additional review, and how to support legitimate claimants while protecting against improper payments.
• Apply claims communication best practices through scenarios (handling denials, partial coverage, depreciation disputes, and repair disagreements) to improve outcomes while staying within the agent’s role.

Hour 3: Practical Case Studies, Fair Claims Practices, and Risk Control

• Use case studies to distinguish legitimate losses from suspicious patterns, focusing on consistency of facts, loss timing, and supporting documentation.
• Review fair claims handling principles (timeliness, transparency, documentation, and respectful treatment) to reduce complaints and support professional responsibility.
• Cover coordinating with claim professionals (what to submit, how to avoid interference, and how to keep accurate notes) to promote clean file documentation and clear client guidance.
• Emphasize prevention strategies (loss prevention conversations, coverage education, and renewals/endorsements that reduce disputes) to lower fraud vulnerability and improve claim readiness.
