Policies are Going Paperless Effective 11/01/2024
Effective November 1, 2024, Legal & General America is defaulting to paperless preferences for policy delivery.
In case you missed it: We are excited to announce a significant enhancement to our policy delivery process. Starting November 1, 2024, William Penn and non-Horizon Banner Life will be transitioning to all paperless policies. This means that we will no longer default to mailing paper policies; instead, BGAs and Advisors can access policies online through our eDelivery platform or Partner Dashboard. Clients will still be able to access documents through the client portal.
What this means for you:
- Get ahead of the transition by choosing to opt-in for eDelivery through DocuSign or update your preferences in Partner Dashboard.
- To opt your agency in to eDelivery through DocuSign, submit the eDelivery Registration Form to your Internal Account Manager. To update your preferences in Partner Dashboard, select YES for paper suppression.
- If no action is taken by the effective date, all preferences will be automatically set to paper suppression in Partner Dashboard to help enable a smooth transition.
- If your agency is opted in for eDelivery through DocuSign, simply fill out an eDelivery Authorization Form with your client and submit with new applications to start receiving policies through DocuSign.
- You will receive an email notification when a policy is available. Simply log in to Partner Dashboard or DocuSign portal to view and download the document.
- If you prefer, you can download the policy directly from the platform.
