The Special Investigation Unit (SIU) was created in early 1999 to reduce the cost
and amount of fraud to the Floirda Municipal Incurance Trust (FMIT) members. The SIU
gathers information of possible fraudulent insurance acts, potential abuses, or
non-existent injuries. Suspected fraud is reported to the Florida Department of
Financial Services, Division of Insurance Fraud. Remember, fraud is not a
victimless crime. Agencies that must pay for fraudulent insurance claims
also have higher rates and less money for other expenditures.
If you are aware of fraudulent activity involving a Florida League of Cities'
or FMIT claim, you can report that activity by calling the SIU hotline at
(888) 447-5877, or by calling the adjuster on the case. Please provide as much
information as possible to allow a complete and thorough investigation.
