The seminar begins at 12:30pm on Thursday October 24th, and finishes at 5pm that day.  On Friday October 25th, the seminar runs from 8:30am until noon.  This is the last continuing education conference of the cycle.  Pursuant to 8 VSA §4791 any person (other than a licensed attorney) who investigates claims and negotiates settlement of claims arising under policies of workers’ compensation insurance in behalf of insurers under such policies, or who advertises or solicits business from insurers as an adjuster, is a workers’ compensation adjuster for purposes of the statute.  In order to renew a WC Adjusters license you must attend and satisfactorily participate in a continuing education seminar administered by the Vermont Department of Labor and Industry.
