New Business Guidelines

The compensation changes will depend on the illustration date applicable to the contract.  For example, an illustration dated January 8th will receive the compensation in effect on January 1st.  For an illustration dated January 15th or later, the compensation received will be the new compensation tied to the January 15th rate period.  Normal rate lock-in procedures will apply.
