SFM recently expanded its Wisconsin-based staff by adding a new claims representative, Jean Jungbluth-Stroud, Milwaukee. She joins SFM’s Wisconsin-based team of underwriters and a loss prevention representative.

SFM has always provided comprehensive claims service to Wisconsin policyholders with a responsive team of claims representatives. Jungbluth-Stroud, based in the Milwaukee area, brings additional expertise in Wisconsin workers’ compensation law as well as the ability to help SFM meet the growing need for locally based service to employers and agents. Jungbluth-Stroud has extensive professional experience in Wisconsin workers’ compensation claims handling.

“I look forward to joining the team at SFM and the opportunity to help Wisconsin employers and their employees work through the difficult issues that can be involved in work injuries,” she said.

In addition, Ken Patrick, Wisconsin account executive, has relocated to Madison.

Effective July 1, SFM is offering workers’ compensation coverage for Minnesota and Wisconsin policyholders’ operations in Michigan, Indiana, Nevada, Arizona.

These four join Iowa and South Dakota, where SFM has been providing “other states” coverage since April.

Multi-state coverage is available to agents with direct contracts with SFM. For more information, please contact your underwriter.
