Colorado Life Producer License Practice Test

A producer is required to remit premiums from a trust account to the insurer within how many days of receipt?

1. 20 days

2. 30 days

3. 45 days

4. 60 days

The correct answer is: 45 days

In Colorado, a producer is required to remit premiums from a trust account to the insurer within 45 days of receipt. This requirement is in place to ensure that premiums collected on behalf of the insurer are properly handled and sent in a timely manner. The 45-day period allows producers a reasonable amount of time to manage the funds while requiring them to fulfill their obligation to the insurer fairly quickly. Timely remittance of premiums is critical in the insurance industry, as it affects cash flow and liquidity for insurers, impacts policyholder coverage, and maintains trust in the producer’s role as an intermediary. By understanding this requirement, producers can ensure compliance with state regulations and foster good relationships with both clients and insurers.
