Who reports an intermediary's termination of appointment to the Commissioner?

• A. The insured
• B. The intermediary
• C. The employer
• D. The insurer

Answer: (D)

Reporting an intermediary’s termination of appointment to the Commissioner is a regulatory obligation that comes from who holds and manages the appointment relationship. The insurer grants and oversees an agent’s authority to sell and service policies, and regulators require insurers to notify them when that authority ends so records stay current and no one acts on behalf of the insurer without authorization. This helps protect consumers and ensures licensing information is accurate. The insured, the intermediary, or the employer aren’t the parties responsible for filing this regulatory notice; the insurer is the appropriate reporting channel.
