What Is the Purpose of a Nebraska Public Insurance Adjuster Bond?

A Nebraska Public Insurance Adjuster Bond is a license surety bond required under Nebraska Revised Statute § 44-9212. The bond is used as evidence of financial responsibility for a public adjuster license.

The Nebraska bond form says the specified $20,000 sum is payable for the use and benefit of any customer of the public insurance adjuster. It also states that the obligation remains in force unless voided under the bond conditions and that aggregate liability is limited to the penal sum of the bond.
