things to know about MS PLans CERTIFICATION

Do I have to certify in advance?

In a storm event, adjusters who are certified are available to be deployed. Waiting until after the storm is upon us may mean you get left behind.

I certified for MS Plans in 2019. Do I have to certify again?

Your certification is good for 12 months from the date you complete it. Only the first-time certification must be completed in person or via a live webinar. Annual renewals can be completed online at your own pace. Click here to register for online renewal.

Does completing the certification guarantee I'll be deployed?

U.S. Adjusting Services does not guarantee deployment. Deployment decisions are made based on a combination of factors, including the specific needs of the event and the skills and expertise of the adjuster.

If I certify for the field, can I be deployed as an examiner (or vice versa)?

Each role has its own assessment. You may certify for both by choosing the Combination Certification at the time you register.

Is there an exam?

Yes, first-time certification requires successfully completing an assessment. Field adjusters will be asked to complete a sample claim in Xactimate including sketching a moderately complex roof and interior rooms and completing an estimate based on provided loss details and scope, accurately applying MS Plans estimating guidelines and coverage. Examiners will be asked to complete an exam which will include reviewing coverage and estimate line items on an estimate provided in compliance with MS Plans guidelines.

Will the exam be part of the webinar?

Participants will complete poll questions throughout the webinar to confirm your attendance and understanding of the material.

Examiners should plan for 2 hours for your exam, due the day of the training. Field adjusters should plan for 2-4 hours and will have until noon the following day.
