,Q1. A producer licensed in Michigan for life and health insurance is relocating to Ohio. Under the National
Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) Producer Licensing Model Act, which of the following is
true regarding the producer's ability to continue selling insurance in Michigan after establishing Ohio
residency?
A. The producer must immediately surrender the Michigan license and apply for a non-resident license in Ohio
to sell in Michigan.
B. The producer may continue to sell in Michigan under the existing license for up to 90 days after changing
residency, after which a non-resident license is required.
C. The producer must notify the Michigan Commissioner of the change of address within 30 days and may
retain the resident license for up to two years while establishing Ohio residency.
D. The producer must obtain a temporary license in Michigan and a resident license in Ohio simultaneously.
Correct Answer: C. The producer must notify the Michigan Commissioner of the change of address within 30
days and may retain the resident license for up to two years while establishing Ohio residency.
Rationale: Under the NAIC Producer Licensing Model Act, a producer changing residency must notify the prior
state's commissioner within 30 days and may retain the resident license for up to two years to allow for a smooth
transition. Option A is incorrect because the license is not immediately surrendered; option B's 90-day period is not
provided; option D is incorrect because a temporary license is not required.
Why Wrong:
A - The license is not immediately surrendered; the producer retains it for up to two years.
B - There is no 90-day grace period; the retention period is two years.
D - No temporary license is needed; the existing license continues.
Reference: NAIC Producer Licensing Model Act, Section 4; Michigan Insurance Code § 500.1204
Q2. An insurer in Michigan uses a credit-based insurance score to underwrite a health insurance policy. The
applicant challenges the score, alleging errors in the credit report. Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act
(FCRA) and Michigan law, which of the following is the insurer required to do?
A. Provide the applicant with a free copy of the credit report and a description of the scoring model.
B. Reject the application and notify the applicant of the adverse action, including the right to a free credit report
within 60 days.
C. Suspend underwriting until the applicant resolves the dispute with the credit bureau.
D. Ignore the challenge because credit scores are proprietary and not subject to dispute.
Correct Answer: B. Reject the application and notify the applicant of the adverse action, including the right
to a free credit report within 60 days.
Rationale: Under FCRA, if an adverse action is taken based on a credit report, the insurer must provide an adverse
action notice that includes the right to a free credit report within 60 days. Option A is incorrect because the insurer
does not provide the scoring model; option C is incorrect because underwriting need not be suspended; option D is
incorrect because the FCRA provides dispute rights.
Why Wrong:
A - The insurer must provide an adverse action notice, not a free credit report and scoring model description.
C - Underwriting is not required to be suspended; the applicant can dispute independently.
D - Credit scores are subject to FCRA dispute rights.
Reference: Fair Credit Reporting Act § 615(a); Michigan Insurance Code § 500.2236
Q3. Which of the following best describes the legal effect of a material misrepresentation on a life insurance
policy under Michigan law, assuming the misrepresentation is discovered within the contestable period?
A. The policy is void ab initio, and all premiums must be returned to the policyowner.
B. The insurer may rescind the policy only if the misrepresentation was intentional and the insurer relied on it
to its detriment.
C. The policy remains in force but the death benefit is reduced proportionally to the misrepresentation.
Page 3
, D. The insurer may void the policy if the misrepresentation materially affects the risk, regardless of intent.
Correct Answer: D. The insurer may void the policy if the misrepresentation materially affects the risk, regardless of
intent.
Rationale: Under Michigan law, an insurer may void a policy within the contestable period if a misrepresentation materially
affects the risk, even if unintentional. Option A is incorrect because the policy is voidable, not automatically void; option B
incorrectly requires intent; option C is incorrect because the policy is not adjusted but voided.
Why Wrong:
A - The policy is voidable, not void ab initio; premiums may be returned but not required.
B - Intent is not required; only materiality matters.
C - The policy is voided, not reduced in benefit.
Reference: Michigan Insurance Code § 500.2218; Life Insurance Policy Provisions
Q4. A health insurance policy contains a preexisting conditions exclusion clause. The insured had received
medical advice for a condition 8 months before the policy effective date. Under the Health Insurance
Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and Michigan law, which of the following is correct regarding
the maximum look-back period for preexisting conditions in individual health insurance?
A. 12 months, with a 6-month credit for prior creditable coverage.
B. 6 months, with no credit for prior coverage.
C. 24 months, with a 12-month credit for prior coverage.
D. No look-back period is allowed; preexisting conditions are prohibited in individual policies.
Correct Answer: B. 6 months, with no credit for prior coverage.
Rationale: For individual health insurance policies, HIPAA allows a 6-month look-back period for preexisting
conditions, and there is no credit for prior creditable coverage in the individual market (unlike group). Option A is
incorrect because the 12-month period applies to group plans; option C is incorrect; option D is incorrect because
preexisting conditions exclusions are permitted.
Why Wrong:
A - The 12-month look-back with credit applies to group, not individual, health insurance.
C - Both the look-back and credit periods are overstated.
D - Preexisting conditions exclusions are allowed within the look-back period.
Reference: HIPAA § 2701; Michigan Insurance Code § 500.3406
Q5. A Michigan-licensed producer is counseling a client on long-term care insurance. The client asks about
the 'nonforfeiture benefit' required under Michigan law. Which of the following accurately describes the
minimum nonforfeiture benefit that must be offered for individual long-term care policies?
A. A paid-up policy with reduced benefits after a specified period.
B. A return of premium upon lapse, minus any claims paid.
C. A contingent nonforfeiture benefit if the policy is not lapsed within the first three years.
D. A shortened benefit period option that the policyowner may select at issue.
Correct Answer: C. A contingent nonforfeiture benefit if the policy is not lapsed within the first three years.
Rationale: Michigan law requires that long-term care policies offer a contingent nonforfeiture benefit, which
provides a reduced paid-up benefit if the policy lapses after a specified period (often three years). Option A is
incorrect because a paid-up policy is not the minimum; option B is not mandated; option D is incorrect because the
benefit is contingent on lapse, not selected at issue.
Why Wrong:
A - A paid-up policy is not the minimum required; contingent nonforfeiture is.
B - Return of premium is not a required nonforfeiture benefit.
D - The benefit is contingent on lapse, not a choice at issue.
