What does the Compensation Fund do?

Explanation:
The Compensation Fund exists to protect the public by reimbursing consumers who suffer financial losses due to misconduct by a licensee. When a licensee misuses funds or fails to perform as promised, a verified claim can be paid from the fund to help recover those losses, within any applicable limits and procedures. This is about offering redress to consumers, not about penalizing licensees or funding other regulatory costs. It does not fund administrative penalties, provide cemetery insurance, or offer loans to licensees, which are not functions of the fund.
