Hello Mr. Griffin: The Department would not be involved in any of these situations. We would only have jurisdiction with the actions of O’Garro and Hybrid because they are licensed in insurance. You may want to submit a written complaint to both Chief States and the Attorney General so they can decide if they wish to open an investigation into this matter. Sincerely,

However, if it is proven a City Official was involved in what appears to be insurance fraud, how does the ID address that issue? Any guidance would be appreciated. Many thanks! John W.

Mr. Griffin: The Department would determine if violations of insurance law under the Commissioners jurisdiction have been violated, and take appropriate action.

Any payment made by or on behalf of an insured to any producer for policies of insurance which have been issued to such producer for delivery to the insured or issued directly to the insured on the order of such producer shall, in controversies between the insured and the company, be deemed to have been paid to the company.

Hi Richard, Attached are the applications sent to Hybrid. If the ID determines a criminal act has been committed in this matter, will the ID refer it the Attorney General’s Office. We trust your team will give this matter the highest priority and we thank you for your efforts in advanced. Finally, please direct me to the Insurance regulation that outlines that when a company pays the insurer’s agent, coverage must be extended regardless of the insurer actually being paid by the agent.

Mr. Griffin: The Department would determine if violations of insurance law under the Commissioners jurisdiction have been violated, and take appropriate action. Whether that includes a referral to another state agency, at this point I cannot say. Sec. 38a-715. (Formerly Sec. 38-90a). Payment by insured to producer as payment to company. Any payment made by or on behalf of an insured to any producer for policies of insurance which have been issued to such producer for delivery to the insured or issued directly to the insured on the order of such producer shall, in controversies between the insured and the company, be deemed to have been paid to the company.

Hi Richard, Attached are the applications sent to Hybrid. If the ID determines a criminal act has been committed in this matter, will the ID refer it the Attorney General’s Office. We trust your team will give this matter the highest priority and we thank you for your efforts in advanced. Finally, please direct me to the Insurance regulation that outlines that when a company pays the insurer’s agent, coverage must be extended regardless of the insurer actually being paid by the agent.
