Appointment Guidelines for Business Received

Agents must be appointed before soliciting business in the following states:

Appointment must be completed within:

15 days after date policy application was written

30 days after date policy application was written

14 days after date policy application was received

15 days after date policy application was received

30 days after date policy application was received

45 days after date policy application was received

Bolded states must be held in a pending status—no commissions can be paid until we receive confirmation.

Note: Prior to soliciting an Annuity application, agents must successfully complete continuing education according to state requirements.

Consistent with our long-standing compliance philosophy, if an application is submitted contrary to any state’s appointment requirements, the application cannot be accepted.

In these situations, we send the proposed policyowner a letter, including any refund due, explaining why we are unable to accept the application, and the application is returned to the agent. Adherence to ethical standards and procedures promotes our overall goal of instilling public confidence in Assurity and our industry.
