8:30-8:45AM
WELCOME & UPDATES
NYSSIU President James Egner; NYACT Chair Nichole Soriano

8:45-9:45 AM
INTRODUCTION TO BROKER FRAUD
Robert Vetrano, Senior Special Investigator, NYAIP
The speaker will provide an explanation and history of the residual market, and how a producer becomes certified, along with the certification process. He will also discuss broker fraud, red flags on an application, NYAIP violations, including the peer review process. There will be two interesting case studies, and finally how the NYAIP can help you!

9:45-10:00 AM
BREAK – PLEASE VISIT OUR SPONSORS

10:00-11:00 AM
BUT I GAVE HIM A W2! EMPLOYEE V INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR
Harlan R. Schreiber, Partner, Goldberg, Miller & Rubin
Learn about regulation 11 NYCRR 65-3.11(a) and independent contractor issues. The speaker will discuss the No-Fault regulations and case law, in order to understand the basis of this potential disclaimer and how it has developed over the years. He will also track how the issue is viewed by the courts and illustrate how litigating the issue differs from the investigative stage.

11:00-12:00 PM
FROM CHATGT, CYBER GAMBITS, TO CLAIM INFLATION INSURANCE FRAUD REMAINS A FULL-SPECTRUM CHALLENGE FOR SIU PROS
Patrick Kelahan, Senior Building Consultant, H2M
Like it or not insurance as a product/service is changing from analog
to digital, onsite to virtual handling, digital claim management, workforce evolution and changing needs of our intellectual capital.  For Fraud and SIU Pros, the challenge remains the same – protect company and policyholder resources through detection of behavior that is illegal and/or improper. The presenter will try to bridge the more traditional insurance fraud issues that have been on the front burner, e.g., environmental claim scope inflation, emergency services excess, including tree removal and biohazard response, utility damages, to emerging methods that can be used to leverage tech to obtain ill-gotten gains from insurers, including AI, and cybercrime focused on businesses. A key aspect of their discussion will be how SIU work is evolving from gumshoe detective to cyber sleuth, including how the tech world is being leveraged to anticipate fraud prior to its commission mirroring the focus of insurance on prevention rather than simply response.
