The ACORD transfer form (ACORD951) is not subject to the 10 calendar day received requirement
  • Cash: By 4pm ET on the 10th calendar day from the submit date the premium must be received in Annuity New Business and the paperwork must be in good order to receive the rate hold interest rate.
  • 1035 Exchange/Qualified Trustee-to-Trustee transfer: A 45-calendar day rate hold applies to Lincoln-initiated 1035 exchanges and qualified trustee-to-trustee transfers beginning on the application submit date. By 4pm ET on the 45th calendar day from the submit date the premium must be received in Annuity New Business and the paperwork must be in good order to receive the rate hold interest rate.
