ANNOTATION

Annotator's note. Since the substantive provisions of this section are identical to former § 8-70-103 (11)(a), relevant cases construing that provision have been included under this section.

Solicitors of a mutual benefit association are "insurance agents" within the meaning of those words, and contributions by such an association to the unemployment compensation fund should be refunded. Brannaman v. Int'l Serv. Union Ass'n, 108 Colo. 409, 118 P.2d 457 (1941).
