CLUE report codes are short-hand notations that explain what types of insurance claims have been filed, the status of those claims, and other specific details about of each claim. CLUE report codes can include abbreviations for certain types of coverage as well as annotations explaining damage-causing events. The CLUE report codes used for auto insurance are different from the codes used on property insurance CLUE reports.

These policy codes identify which type of insurance policy the claim falls under. For example, water damage caused by bursting pipes would be covered by and claimed under a homeowners insurance policy or code H.
Property CLUE reports also have codes that explain the cause of the damage. There are a wide variety of reasons for a claim to happen, including the following notable causes.
CLUE Report Codes for Types of Losses
- ACCDL: accidental discharge/leakage – a claim resulting from water being discharged from plumbing systems, including burst pipes not caused by freezing.
- CONTA: contamination/pollution – a claim caused by contaminants or pollutants in the atmosphere or ground.
- FREEZ: freezing water – a claim resulting from water freezing, including water damage due to pipes bursting after a freeze.
- MOVE: earth movement – claims resulting from movement of the earth along fault lines. This is different from an earthquake (QUAKE), as movement does not necessarily include trembling or vibration of the earth’s surface.
- VMM: vandalism and malicious mischief – a claim resulting from vandalism or willful destruction of the insured’s property.
- WEATH: weather related water – claims caused by wind-driven rain.
CLUE Report Codes for Claim Status

Under Deductible | Claim cost was below the deductible amount |
Peril Not Covered | Claim not covered under the policy |

A CLUE report describes the status of each claim shown. The status of a claim is referred to as its disposition.
