Emergency Adjusters: “Indiana Code 27-1-28 was created by HEA 1486 (P.L. 11-2011) and governs licensing for independent adjusters. Under the new law, the Department will issue temporary emergency adjuster licenses to unlicensed but qualified individuals to adjust claims arising from a declared catastrophe.” The fee for emergency adjuster licensing is $20. The Temporary Emergency Adjuster web notice can provide more information about emergency adjuster licensing.
