The topic of this course applies to everyone in the insurance industry.

Inevitably, successful, undetected scams translate into higher premiums for even the most honest customers. To keep what we can at bay, those working in the industry need to be educated in detecting, recognizing and preventing insurance fraud. As sophisticated as insurance fraud prevention methods can be, criminals can become just as sophisticated in their methods of defrauding that system. This course reviews red flags that show themselves in various property and casualty markets. From the garden variety fraud we've all read or heard about (like padding a claim), to more deviant, thought-out frauds that can ruin innocent, unsuspecting people, red flags are often there for the trained eye to see.

Today's retirees are more active and have longer life expectancies than ever. It is not uncommon for retirement to last 20 or even 30 years, and during that time, today's retirees are likely to continue to travel, entertain, and otherwise continue to live and consume, as they have become accustomed. This trend is only expected to continue as younger Baby Boomers enter retirement, and in the not so distant future, Gen Xers approach retirement as well. Given these trends, planning for senior needs is more important than ever. FL Agents: Eligible License 9900 Generic Life/Health/Variable - Misc Subjects | Intermediate.

The connection between IRAs and insurance may not seem obvious and some may believe that IRAs have nothing to do with insurance. In fact, the majority of annuity assets, which are insurance products, are held as IRAs and there is even a section of the tax code specific to IRA annuities. For insurance professionals, it is essential that they understand the rules around IRA annuities when considering them or positioning them for a client. This course examines the rules governing annuities when owned through traditional IRAs, Roth IRAs, SEP IRAs, and SIMPLEs. With respect to traditional IRA annuities, the course considers the issues of eligibility, contribution limits, and how annuities are held. Tax treatment of traditional IRA annuity funds is discussed, including the treatment of contributions, accumulations, transfers, and distributions. The premature distribution penalties and its exceptions are addressed. Roth IRA annuities, created by TRA'97, are discussed, including eligibility, contribution limits, and distributions.
