Individual vs. Worksite
Individual Business: Written in the home through the needs-based laptop presentation. Premiums paid through checking account Worksite Business: Also known as Payroll Deduction (PD) or Section 125. Written in the workplace to employees. Premiums deducted from employees’ paycheck and sent by employer to Liberty National Defining terminology: Individual Business: Written in the home through the needs-based laptop presentation. Premiums paid through checking account. Worksite Business: Also known as Payroll Deduction (PD) or Section 125. Written in the workplace to employees. Premiums deducted from employees’ paycheck and sent by employer to Liberty National.

Building Wealth = Renewals
Renewals are paid starting the 13th month a policy is in force. They are paid every month that the customer makes their premium payment … forever! Defining Terminology: Renewals are paid starting the 13th month a policy is in force. They are paid every month that the customer makes their premium payment … forever!

Did we get the business to the Customer?
What is DCN? Did we get the business to the Customer? Let’s define DCN: D is for Declines C is for Cancellations N is for Not Takens The good news is the Declines, Cancellations, and Not Takens are all caused by the same things: Poor training, lack of systems and oversight – and they all can be fixed.

Declines (<1%): Primarily worksite.
What is DCN? Declines (<1%): Primarily worksite. Never should have been uploaded to Home Office. Cancellations (3%): Primarily individual. Cancelled by customer or Home Office. Not-Takens (6%): Primarily worksite. Company never received any money. Company DCN 10% as of November 2014 Let’s define DCN: D is for Declines C is for Cancellations N is for Not Takens The good news is the Declines, Cancellations, and Not Takens are all caused by the same things: Poor training, lack of systems and oversight – and they all can be fixed.

Agents Direct Pay and Bonus is impacted by
DCN their first 7 months An agent’s direct pay and bonus are impacted by his DCN his first seven months of production. The same applies for an agent promoted to a Agency Director or an Agency Director promoted to Agency Owner. TMK Agent training only. Not for sales use. 19

Agents receive maximum direct pay and 100% of bonus first two months.
An agent’s direct pay and bonus are impacted by his DCN his first seven months of production. The same applies for an agent promoted to a Agency Director or an Agency Director promoted to Agency Owner. TMK Agent training only. Not for sales use. 20

How is DCN calculated? Submitted Premium Declined Premium
Cancelled Premium DCN is calculated by adding all the bad stuff (Declined, Cancelled, and Not Taken premium) and dividing it by SUMITTED premium. DCN is the gage of what type of job you do getting the business to the customer. Not Taken Premium

Example of 6% DCN $10,000 Submitted Premium $0 Declines $200 Cancels
Here’s an example of an 8% DCN. $800 in declined, cancelled, not taken premium divided by $10,000 in submitted premium. Please note what would happen if the agent had a $1,000 Decline for example. All of the sudden, his DCN goes to 18, dramatically impacting his pay. The point is, every app matters and can help or hurt your pay. $400 Not Takens

So, if I have a $1,000 policy Declined, Cancelled or Not Taken, how much clean business do I have to write to get all my bonus? Here’s an example of an 8% DCN. $800 in declined, cancelled, not taken premium divided by $10,000 in submitted premium. Please note what would happen if the agent had a $1,000 Decline for example. All of the sudden, his DCN goes to 18, dramatically impacting his pay. The point is, every app matters and can help or hurt your pay.

$10,000 $10,000 Submitted Premium $1,000 DCN
Here’s an example of an 8% DCN. $800 in declined, cancelled, not taken premium divided by $10,000 in submitted premium. Please note what would happen if the agent had a $1,000 Decline for example. All of the sudden, his DCN goes to 18, dramatically impacting his pay. The point is, every app matters and can help or hurt your pay.

Example: Calculating Individual DCN
April 25 May 24 June July Aug $4,000 $4,000 $4,000 1 2 3 Submitted Business Reports Published Submitted Business $100 $350 $350 $200 1 2 3 DECLINES, CANCELLATIONS, NOT TAKENS 4 For our example, let’s say our Agent has submitted four thousand dollars in individual Life premium on Bank Budget mode each month. The Agent has a total of one thousand dollars in Declines, Cancels and Not Takens during this period. Notice that Individual business DCN measures three months of submitted and four months of DCN’d premium. This means that the business written this month will not show on the DCN calculation next month. Therefore, “I’ll write more business” is a flawed quality correction plan. Declined, Cancelled, Not Taken Premium DCN Calculated

Example: Calculating Payroll Deduction DCN
Feb 25 March 24 April May June July Aug $4,000 $4,000 $4,000 1 2 3 Submitted Business Reports Published Submitted Business $0 $0 $400 $0 $0 $600 VO Now let’s look at how payroll deduction D-C-N is calculated. For our example, let’s say our Agent has submitted four thousand dollars in premium on Payroll Deduction mode each month. The Agent has a total of one thousand dollars in Declines, Cancels and Not Takens. Notice that Worksite business DCN measures three months of submitted and six months of DCN’d premium. This means that the business written this month will not show on the DCN calculation for three months. Therefore, “I’ll write more business” is a flawed quality correction plan. DECLINES, CANCELLATIONS, NOT TAKENS 1 2 3 4 5 6 Declined, Cancelled, Not Taken Premium DCN Calculated

Got the business to the Customer, do they keep it?
What is 4-month Persistency? Got the business to the Customer, do they keep it? Let’s define DCN: D is for Declines C is for Cancellations N is for Not Takens The good news is the Declines, Cancellations, and Not Takens are all caused by the same things: Poor training, lack of systems and oversight – and they all can be fixed.

Definitions Persistency: Premium issued and paid four months or longer, divided by total issued business based on policy effective date Once an agent reaches his eighth month after submitting business, his quality is measured by persistency. Persistency is a truer look at the quality of the agent’s business as it is analyzing issued business and whether or not the customer is keeping the policy four months or longer.

Agents Direct Pay and Bonus is impacted by Persistency
Months 8 and beyond An agent’s direct pay and bonus are impacted by his Persistency starting with his eighth month of production. The clock starts with his first issued business. The same applies for an agent promoted to a Agency Director or an Agency Director promoted to Agency Owner. The challenge with Persistency is that an agent may have overcome DCN challenges, but once they flip to persistency, it measures the first three months of issued business of that agent’s career, which is likely to be the least quality business they have written. TMK Agent training only. Not for sales use. 29

Example of 93% 4-Month Persistency
$10,000 Issued Premium $9,300 Paid 4 Months How is Persistency calculated? Take $8,800 of premium paid four months or longer and divide it by the $10,000 in issued premium to get an 88% persistency.

$8,800 $8,800 Issued Premium $1,000 Lapse
Here’s an example of an 8% DCN. $800 in declined, cancelled, not taken premium divided by $10,000 in submitted premium. Please note what would happen if the agent had a $1,000 Decline for example. All of the sudden, his DCN goes to 18, dramatically impacting his pay. The point is, every app matters and can help or hurt your pay.

Example: Calculating Persistency
Dec 25 Jan 24 Feb March April May June July Aug $5,000 $5,000 $5,000 1 2 3 Submitted Business Issued Business Reports Published $12,000 Paid 4 months or greater VO For our example, let’s say our Agent has issued five thousand dollars each month for a total of fifteen thousand dollars. Of that fifteen thousand dollars, twelve thousand dollars of premium is paid four months or greater. Therefore, the agent’s persistency would be 80%. Again, because we can’t go back in time, lapsing business must be addressed as soon as it lapses. Persistency Calculated

New DCN and Persistency Reports are published on the 25th of each month. Reports for DCN and Persistency are updated on the 25th of each month. Those quality numbers impact pay for the following month. This is a big day in the life of a quality manager as it is your report card. TMK Agent training only. Not for sales use. 33

How much of my hard work, effort, and energy is paying me a renewal?
What is 13-month Persistency? How much of my hard work, effort, and energy is paying me a renewal? Let’s define DCN: D is for Declines C is for Cancellations N is for Not Takens The good news is the Declines, Cancellations, and Not Takens are all caused by the same things: Poor training, lack of systems and oversight – and they all can be fixed.

13th Month Persistency is the most important measure of quality in regards to wealth building Thirteen month persistency is the most important measurement of quality because it tells us how much of our hard work is paying us a renewal. TMK Agent training only. Not for sales use. 35

Example: Calculating 13-month persistency
APRIL MAY JUNE 13 JULY 13 AUG 13 SEP 13 OCT 13 NOV 13 DEC 13 JAN 14 FEB 14 MAR APR 14 MAY 14 JUNE14 JULY14 AUG14 $3300 $3300 $3300 $7,500 Thirteen month persistency is the most important measurement of quality because it tells us how much of our hard work is paying us a renewal. Paid 13 months Issued Business

Example of 75% 13-Month Persistency
$10,000 Issued Premium $7,500 Paid 13 Months In this example, the agent issued $12,000 in the period being evaluated and $9,000 of that business was still paying premium 13 months later. That’s 13-month persistency of 75%.

Why all this focus on quality?
Policy must be in force months before Liberty makes a profit Whole Life Policy 60% Agent Commission of Annual Premium 10% Supervising Agent Commission of AP 35% Agency Director Commission of AP 25% Agency Owner Commission of AP 130% of First-Year Premium Plus Home Office expense for marketing, underwriting, printing, mailing policy, etc. Liberty National is willing to reward agencies that write good business because that is how the company makes money and customers have their protection in force at the time of need.

How do I check my DCN and Persistency? Agent Services on Click on ‘Reports’ Once an agent reaches his eighth month after submitting business, his quality is measured by persistency. Persistency is a truer look at the quality of the agent’s business as it is analyzing issued business and whether or not the customer is keeping the policy four months or longer.

How does Quality impact pay & retention?
1. Chargebacks Months Premium Paid Chargeback % 0-2 months 100% 3 months 90% 4 months 80% 5 months 70% 6 months 60% Months Premium Paid Chargeback % 7 months 50% 8 months 40% 9 months 30% 10 months 20% 11 months 10% Commission chargebacks are assessed based on the scale in the Guide to Growth. If the first two month’s premiums are not paid, it’s a 100% chargeback.

1. Chargebacks 2. Direct Pay submit advance commissions Direct Pay submit advance is based on the agent’s DCN. The percentage not paid in direct pay is deposited into the commission account. Agents with a DCN of 31% or more receive no direct pay.

1. Chargebacks 2. Direct Pay submit advance commissions Direct Pay submit advance is based on the agent’s Persistency if they have a Persistency, meaning they’ve had eight months of issued business. The percentage not paid in direct pay is deposited into the commission account. Agents with a Persistency of 72% or less receive no direct pay.

Agency Owner/Director example
6 agents on team 4 agents on DCN, 2 on Persistency Agent 1: DCN 10 (Maximum direct pay) Agent 2: DCN 18 (Direct Pay reduced 10%) Agent 3: DCN 22 (Direct Pay reduced 30%) Agent 4: DCN 31 (No direct pay) Agent 5: Persistency 79 (Direct pay reduced 10%) Agent 6: Persistency 72 (No direct pay) * Best case scenario: Assumes agent has positive commission account. Managers are paid direct pay based on the DCN or Persistency, whichever the agent is on. In this example, the manager has four agents on DCN and two on persistency. Agent 1 has a DCN of 10 so he is receiving maximum direct pay. Agent 2 has a DCN of 18 so he is having his direct pay reduced by 10%. Agent 3 has a DCN of 22 so he is having his direct pay reduced by 30%. Agent 4 has a DCN of 31 so his is receiving no direct pay. Agent 5 has a Persistency of 79 so his direct pay is being reduced by 10%. Agent 6 has a Persistency of 72 so he is receiving no direct pay. The manager’s direct pay would be impacted accordingly for each agent.

1. Chargebacks 2. Direct Pay submit advance commissions 3. DCN: Bonus multiplier or reduction first 7 months Agents receive 100% of their bonus if their DCN is 10%. Concentrate on the left side. All I ever wanted to do was work at a place that pays me what I’m worth. If I’m better than average, I want to make more. Of course, if you are below average on your quality, your bonus is reduced, including the elimination of the bonus if the DCN is 19 or higher. Note the difference between a 6 DCN and a 14 DCN, which doesn’t sound like much of a difference. But the agent with a 6 DCN is receiving 30% more bonus than the agent with a 14.

1. Chargebacks 2. Direct Pay submit advance commissions 3. Persistency Bonus multiplier or reduction month 8+ Persistency multipliers work just like DCN. Agents earn 100% of their bonus if their Persistency is between 88 and 86%. Notice the left side of the chart. Agents can earn up to an additional 30% of their bonus with a great Persistency. Of course, persistency of 74% or below and the agent cannot earn a bonus.

Oh by the way … Career Track
On the Career Track, for promotion to every position, the company evaluates the candidate’s quality for promotion. We aren’t going to promote people with poor quality to teach other how to write business with poor quality.

Last but certainly not least… Renewals Renewals Renewals Renewals Renewals Renewals Renewals Renewals Renewals Renewals Renewals Renewals Renewals Renewals Renewals How important is this for new hires that are independent contractors and receiving vested renewals? That’s why 13-month persistency is so important. It’s the measure of what percentage of the business pays a renewal.

So how does that translate to dollars? TMK Agent training only. Not for sales use. 50

What does an 8% vs. 18% DCN mean to an Agent in his first seven months with a $1,425 per week average? Let’s look at 2 agents who both write the same amount of business in their first 7 months with the company -- $1,425 per week. That’s the amount needed on average to qualify for Torch Club so this is a solid agent that is working every week. What is the difference in takehome pay if one agent has an 8 DCN and the other has an 18 DCN? TMK Agent training only. Not for sales use. 51

8 DCN Agent takes home $8,400 more

II. Reviewing Applications
in the Portal TMK Agent training only. Not for sales use. 53

When and where do I review apps?
Every day. First thing when you come in and last thing before you leave. Don’t let it stack up on you. Advantage of Daily Upload: App doesn’t effect Agency DCN if not paid on it and doesn’t count toward bonus Opportunity to make bonus if app changed to trial or cancelled It’s the World Wide Web. You can access from anywhere you have an Internet connection Find a quiet place where you are uninterrupted You call for others, they do not come to you Review apps first and last thing every day.

Application Review Deadlines
Eapps must be in portal by midnight Sunday to be reviewed on Monday Eapps signed by customer on Monday must be in the portal by noon Central to be reviewed on Monday Paper apps/CODs/Term Conversions, etc., must be turned in to QM by 9 a.m. Central to be reviewed on Monday Eapps must be in the portal by midnight Sunday to be reviewed on Monday. Eapps signed by customer on Monday must be in portal by noon Central Monday. Paper apps/CODs/Term Conversions must be in Quality Manager’s hand by 9 a.m. Central Monday. Miss those deadlines and the app gets reviewed on Tuesday and the agent has a jump on next week’s production.

Application Review Process
Application Written by Agent (7 days to upload) Agent uploads App to Portal Weekly deadline Monday 3:30 p.m. Central 10 days to upload Once an application is uploaded, it cannot be recalled QM should only hold apps: Applicant requests specific draft date Worksite case awaiting third applicant Only bad things happen when apps sit on an Agent’s laptop: Customer experiences a claim Laptop gets stolen, gets a virus, etc. QM does not have time to do their job properly because of Monday upload deadline and things get missed As an Agency Owner, how do you verify production against a WAR report without the apps being in the portal daily?

A-250 vs. Batch Applications
The A-250 application is the individual life insurance application (the one with 32 questions). When submitted to the Home Office, they go to an underwriter for review prior to issue. All other applications are considered Batch applications. When submitted to the Home Office, they go through a computer and issue the following day.

Using the Portal Use Google Chrome browser to access the portal
Access the Portal by clicking the icon on Agent Services To access the Agent Portal, log in to Agent Services and click on Agent Portal.

Using the Portal Once logged in, look at the Submitted Applications box, which shows the Pending Annual Premium ($7,579 in this example) and number of Pending Applications (45 in this example) Once you are logged in, look at the Submitted Applications section. The pending count shows how many applications are waiting to be reviewed and the pending annual premium shows how much annual premium those policies account for.

Portal Columns Click on the column headers to sort by that column
If it’s an individual policy, there will be no Franchise # Date Signed = When customers signed up Date Uploaded = When agent uploaded to portal Agents should upload daily The column headers sort when clicked. The Writing Agent listed is the Agent that logged in to the eapp. If the app was taken on Payroll Deduction, there will be a Franchise Number in the Franchise # column. If no franchise number, the app was taken on bank draft. The Date Signed is the date and time the application was signed by the customer. The Date Uploaded is the date and time the application was uploaded from the Agent’s computer to the portal. Applications can stay on an Agent’s computer for up to seven days before being automatically uploaded to the portal. Any app with 7 or more days between Date Signed and Date Uploaded should cause a phone call to that agent’s manager to make sure the business is quality.

Portal Columns Annual premium is the amount of premium the insured will pay each year for that policy Payment mode will have PD if Payroll Deduction Trial will have Torch symbol if it is a trial app

Review Process: Step 1 Upload all the ADPs
ADP = $3,000 Accidental Death Policy DC = Discount Card ADPs and DCs show an Annual Premium of $0 Upload all the $3,000 Accidental Death Policy first. These apps do not need to be reviewed as they have no health questions. Because there is no premium collected, there is no bank verification.

Review Process: Step 2 Click on Related App shows all applications submitted on a single payor Next is to click the ‘View’ button on the Related Apps column. This will show all the applications on each Payor. This gives the quality manager a much better picture of all the coverage purchased by the insured.

Related Apps Shows total amount of coverage purchased
Sheds light on total premium sold in the sale Need to know this for bank verification Don’t upload all apps from a family until all questions are answered. Many times, if one app is declined or cancelled the insured will cancel applications Next is to click the ‘View’ button on the Related Apps column. This will show all the applications on each Payor. This gives the quality manager a much better picture of all the coverage purchased by the insured. This is important because: Want to know the total amount of premium the customer will be paying to ensure affordability. This can be true on bank draft or worksite where a customer purchases multiple policies on multiple insureds. Many times, if an proposed insured has one policy rated, modified or cancelled, they will drop all of the coverage applied for. So we want to decide what we’re doing with all the applications for a payor before hitting submit. 3. You will need to know the total amount of the draft when doing bank verification.

Review Process: Step 3 View the image of the application by click on the Actions column Once an application has been viewed, it will show as a check mark If it has not been viewed, it will show as the application icon Next, click on the application icon in the Actions column to view the application. If it has already been viewed, a check mark will be displayed.

Reviewing Applications
Recommend sorting applications by the Franchise # column so that you can review the Bank Draft policies first Bank draft policies take longer to review, requiring more time to: Verify bank information Contact managers or customers to verify information on the app You can get your calls out and be waiting for responses while you move on to your PD apps Review bank draft applications first.

Reviewing Individual Applications
Application review doesn’t begin until the following have been submitted: What Comes Next Form Summary Sheet Voided Check Oral Swab form or bar code sticker Once all materials received, verify bank information. If the bank info is bad or funds are not available, no sense spending time reviewing the app Bank draft apps require the agent to turn in: What comes next form Summary Sheet Voided Check Oral Swab Form Verify bank info first.

Conduct Agency QAC using script on Agent Services Recommend QAC for: Medically questionable applications Agents in first 90 days Agents with below average DCN or Persistency Large face amounts/large premiums Group Term apps with ‘Yes’ answer on No. 9 QM communicates down chain of command to ADs only and gets answers before moving forward App approved/cancelled/changed to trial QMs can conduct Agency QAC calls using the Agency QAC script on Agent Services.

Review Payroll Deduction Applications
Check roster to make sure employee is eligible Employee must be employed six months or one year by end of enrollment period Re-enrollments: Use Worksite Management Information Report (AL915) to prevent duplicate coverage (Cancer Care/Endurance, Accident Protector Max) and exceeding coverage limits (Group Term, Career Life Plus, Cash Caner) On Applications, focus on: Question No. 9 on Group Term Medicaid Question The review process is different for Payroll Deduction applications. First, make sure the employee is eligible to purchase coverage by reviewing the roster. If the apps are from a re-enrollment, use the AL915 Worksite Management Information Report to make sure the coverage is not a duplication or exceeds coverage limits As far as the actual apps, because these applications are simplified, you only have to pay attention to a couple of questions: No. 9 on Group Term and the Medicaid Question. All other questions, if they had been answered yes, the application would not have been submitted to the portal.

Updating Information Information on the application cannot be updated
Customer Service if you gather information during the app review process that would be good for the Underwriting Department to know If the Agent entered notes on the application, there will be a notepad icon in the Agent Notes column No information on the application can be altered. If you learn additional information during the review process that should be provided to the underwriting department, send an to The notepad icon denotes that there are notes on the app.

Updating Information If during the bank verification process, it is discovered that the bank account information (routing or account number) is in accurate, it can be updated by clicking the plus symbol The one thing you can update is banking information. Click on the plus symbol next to the Writing Agent name. Once the window opens, you can change the name of the bank, routing and/or account number and City/State if needed.

Trial Applications QM changes app to Trial by clicking the button in the portal Customer receives a letter notifying them app was changed to Trial Starting Out: Always check with Agency Owner before Trialing an App Trial applications are an agent’s best friend. It allows the company to evaluate the insurability of a proposed insured without collecting premium. If the application is not placed, it does not count against the agent’s DCN. Click the ‘Change to Trial’ button to switch an app to Trial. The ability to trial and application is available only on A250 applications.

Cancelling Applications
Apps should be cancelled when the applicant has an uninsurable condition, Agent can’t be reached, customer calls in to cancel, duplicate applications QMs cancel by clicking the Cancel Application button. QM will have to provide a reason for cancel Customer will receive a letter Starting Out: Always check with Agency Owner before cancelling an App Cancel applications by clicking the ‘Cancel Applications’ button.

Approving Applications
Apps can be approved in two ways Click the plus symbol next to the Writing Agent’s name When the box expands, click ‘Approve Application’ The first way to approve an application is to click the plus symbol next to the Writing Agent and then click the ‘Approve Application’ button.

Apps can be approved in two ways The second way, is to select multiple applications, and choose ‘Approve Applications’ from the dropdown menu If the Agent has been contracted less than 90 days or whose DCN or Persistency are worse than the company average, their apps must be approved one at a time The second way to approve apps is to choose multiple applications to upload at the same time. You will get an error message if an Agent’s applications are not able to be bulk uploaded because they have been contracted less than 90 days or their DCN or Persistency are below the company average.

If the Agent has been contracted less than 90 days or whose DCN or Persistency are worse than the company average, you will see this message This is the message when an agent has been contracted less than 90 days or their DCN or Persistency are below the company average.

Where can I find this information?
Individual underwriting rules found in the Agent Instruction Guide on Agent Services:

Agents Instruction Guide
The Agents Instruction Guide is the Underwriting handbook. It includes the height and weight chart, auto decline conditions, ALX-only conditions, and the medical history guide with general underwriting outcomes for specific medical conditions. The AIG is updated regularly; make sure you are using the most current version.

Application review doesn’t being until the following have been submitted: What Comes Next Form Summary Sheet Voided Check Oral Swab Once all materials received, verify bank information. If the bank info is bad or funds are not available, no sense spending time reviewing the app Bank draft apps require the agent to turn in: What comes next form Summary Sheet Voided Check Oral Swab Form Verify bank info first.

What Comes Next? Form TMK Agent training only. Not for sales use. 83

Cancellations (2%) Top Reasons for Cancels Outdated COD
Non-Sufficient Funds (NSFs)/Bad Bank Information Requested by customer (QAC) QAC not completed Additional underwriting call, exam not complete Oral swab not complete Medical records not received Cancellations are caused by poor follow-up. The Agency doesn’t have systems in place to prevent these mistakes and no one owns a system to correct them once the home office in involved. The great news is that cancellations can be lowered with the use of simple systems.

What Comes Next Form Completed on every individual sale
Top copy goes to customer, pink copy to Quality Manager Must be received by quality manager for application to be uploaded to home office The What Comes Next Form should be completed on every individual sale. The top copy is left with the customer and the pink copy is turned in to the quality manager

Oral Swab Form Barcode should have been entered in the e-app
No Oral Swab bar code? Do not upload app from portal until received No Oral Swab box? Best practice: Swab must be present for app to leave portal All swabs mailed from Agency Office Use FedEx not US Postal Never, ever submit an application to the home office from the portal without a oral swab bar code if one is required. We will only pend seven days before cancelling an app without an oral swab.

Underwriting Requirements Chart
Click the ‘Underwriting Rules’ tab in eapp. Tells you based on age and face amount if an oral swab is needed. Also tells you if an exam is needed so you can notify the customer at the time of sale.

Build Charts If the proposed insured does not fall within the standard weight limits shown on the chart, the proposed insured will be rated. (Charts CI/GTL/CLP). The Build Chart is listed in the Agents Instruction Guide. If a proposed insured weighs more than the maximum allowable on the chart, they are uninsurable. If they fall into one of the columns, B, C, D etc., they will pay additional premium for their policy. Table D generally means the premium will be at least twice as much as the original quoted premium. Recommendation is to submit a trial application on anyone with a Table D-L weight.

Juvenile Build Chart Use the Juvenile Build Chart if the proposed insured is less than 4 foot, 8 inches tall. Use the Standard Build Chart if the proposed insured is 4 foot, 8 inches or taller. How do I use the Juvenile Build Chart? If a proposed insured falls outside the standard weight for their age, submit the application on a Trial basis.

Medical History Guide Lists conditions and “general” guidelines
The Medical History Guide in the Agents Instruction Guide is a great tool. It lists common medical conditions and general guidelines for those conditions. Agents should use this resource for guidance when a condition they are unfamiliar with comes up during the application process.

Medical History Guide So let’s do a couple examples:
What is the “general” outcome for an applicant with… Blood pressure problems Cancer Multiple DUIs The Medical History Guide in the Agents Instruction Guide is a great tool.

Authorization for Preauthorized Payments Bubble Sheet Bank Draft Form R-3616 Ever heard of the bank? Routing Number Legit? Account number more than 12 digits? Requested draft date between 1st and 10th Couple red flags on the bank draft form: Have you ever heard of the bank? Is the account number longer than 12 digits? If so, could be debit card or credit card. If the requested draft date is not between the 1st and the 10th pick up the phone and find out why. Customer may be drafted twice in the same month which can cause NSF and overdraft charges for the customer.

Initial Draft Initial Bank Draft happens first business day after upload to home office. That’s why the language in the What Comes Next form say the draft will occur in the “next couple of days” because agents don’t know when the app will leave the portal. And depending on when it is uploaded and what bank it’s being drafted from, it may take an additional day. Always choose a draft date between the first and the 10th of the month so that the applicant is not double drafted. The date selected in the eapp is the date of the second and subsequent drafts. The initial draft is deducted as soon as the policy is uploaded to the home office.

Draft Dates: Choose one between 1st – 10th
The date selected in the eapp is for the second and subsequent drafts. What day of the month do most people get paid? Only offer a date between the 1st and the 10th.

The date selected in the eapp is the date of the second and subsequent drafts. The initial draft is deducted as soon as the policy is uploaded to the home office.

Worksite Applications
Simpler Apps than the A-250 No bank verification, premiums from paychecks No Oral Swabs Apps cannot be changed to Trial Two biggest challenges: Ineligible employees (roster) Re-enrollments: Duplicate coverage or exceeds limits

Worksite Application Review Process
Must have 3 EMPLOYEES purchase Check roster to make sure employee is eligible Re-enrollments: Use Worksite Management Information Report (AL915) to prevent duplicate coverage and exceeding coverage limits Question No. 9 on Group Term Medicaid Question

Eligible Employees To be eligible, employees must:
Work 30+ hours per week Been employed 6 months Be in an approved industry Not be leased or contracted

How to Read the Roster…. If the enrollment period ends in July 2013, which employees would not be eligible? On an enrollment, every agent must have a copy of the employee roster to avoid writing business on employees that are not eligible – which leads to declined policies.

Worksite Management Information Report
Report AL915: Updates Saturdays Worksite Management Information Report which shows the existing coverage and face amounts. This will avoid policies being declined for multiple policies on the same insured and coverage exceeding limits.

Plan Code Cheat Sheet Plan Code Cheat Sheet show the most popular products and their plan codes: Circle these 1W = Whole Life 1U = Career Life Plus AL = ALX Modified Life E = Group Term 3 = Term HA = Accident Protector Max 5K= Cancer Care 5M = Critical Illness LS = Cash Cancer

Where do I find this info?
Where do I find out about policy limits and other rules? Click on Products Select your state The other top reasons for declines on worksite business are related to not having the Worksite Management Information report to review existing coverage on re-enrollments and lack of product training.

Marketplace Bulletins
Look in the Benefit Overview section of the Marketplace Bulletin Plans that most often exceed coverage limits: Group Term: $150,000 employee issue age 40 and under. $100,000 employee issue age 41-55 $50, and over, and dependents. Career Life Plus: $50,000 maximum Cash Cancer: $50,000 maximum The plans that most often exceed limits are Group Term, Career Life Plus and Cash Cancer.

Duplicate Coverage Plans most likely to duplicate coverage Cancer Care/Endurance (5K) and Accident Protector Max (HA) The plans that most often are duplicates are Cancer Care/Endurance and Accident Protector Max.

Collecting phone numbers on the eapp…
Only reason we would call a Worksite customer is if they have left their job. So why would we only collect an office number? On the worksite eapp, make sure we’re getting a home phone number. If we only collect a work number and they leave their job, we don’t have a number to contact them to move the policy to bank draft.

Group Term No. 9 Only question on Group Term that can be answered ‘yes’ and be issued standard Can only be ‘yes’ for high blood pressure HBP must be controlled (140/90) The only question on the Group Term application that can be answered Yes and the policy still be issued is No. 9. But because the question asks multiple things, the Agent must ask more questions. The answer can only be to blood pressure. If it is a yes answer to No. 9 on high blood pressure the Agent should ascertain whether the BP is under control, last reading of 140/90 or lower. Otherwise pivot to ALX or Career Life Plus.

E-app On Batch apps, the e-app will not allow the application to be completed if the height and weight limits are exceeded You don’t have to review a build chart on group term and career life plus.

E-app On Batch apps, if the applicant answers a question ‘Yes’ that would cause it to be declined, the agent receives this message and is not allowed to complete the app You don’t have to review most of the health question because if the applicant had answered yes, the agent would not have been able to upload that app to the portal.

E-app On Batch apps, if an applicant answers ‘Yes’ to the Medicaid question, the box below will appear. A yes answer to the Medicaid question is a red flag because the customer will receive no benefits if they have a claim. The company mails them a letter after the policy issues that explains this and that’s when customers usually cancel.

Medicare On Batch apps, if the applicant answers ‘Yes’ to the Medicare question, the box below appears and the app cannot be completed. A yes answer on the Medicare question is an automatic decline.

VI. Worksite Case Tracking

Individual vs. Worksite
Individual Business (Bank Draft): Written in the home through the needs-based laptop presentation. Premiums paid through checking account Worksite Business: Also known as Payroll Deduction (PD) or Section 125. Written in the workplace to employees. Premiums deducted from employees’ paycheck and sent by employer to Liberty National

Where can I find this information?
Individual underwriting rules found in the Worksite Agent Guide on Agent Services:

Worksite Agent Guide The Worksite Agent Guide includes guidelines on eligible industries and employees, as well as descriptions on how to correctly fill out all worksite approval paperwork.

Enrollments and Re-enrollments
Worksite cases have an initial enrollment period often called the Annual Enrollment The second and subsequent enrollments are called re-enrollments. They can happen every six months. They are often called mid-year enrollments

Worksite Approval Paperwork

Worksite Process Agent secures agreement with business owner to allow Liberty to offer benefits to his employees

Use the Electronic Packet
Value of Electronic Packets No omissions Completes duplicate info Sets correct enrollment, deduction, and effective dates Gives reminder to get roster

Worksite Approval Paperwork
Agent turns in Approval Paperwork to Quality Manager with signed roster (hard copy or ) Quality Manager reviews paperwork and corrects any missing/inaccurate information Quality Manager gets the paperwork signed by Agency Owner Quality Manager s signed paperwork to Agency Owner and Quality Manager receive approval from Worksite Department This is the workflow of worksite paperwork.

So what is the QM reviewing?
Must have signed roster Must have good contact information, preferably multiple contacts and addresses Payment mode Verify enrollment dates, deduction date, and effective dates are correct. Electronic packets do this automatically These are the key points a QM should be reviewing on the worksite approval paperwork prior to going to the Agency Owner for a signature.

Reviewing the Packet The key information is found on the Payroll Deduction Billing Information Sheet.

Reviewing the Packet Number of eligible employees. Must be at least three. The smaller the case, the more diligent QM has to be getting first bill paid. The more contact info, the better. Owner is not always best person to verify roster. The fewer the number of eligible employees, that more oversight the case will require because the owner is typically the bookkeeper as well and they are very busy/haven’t done deductions before. Get multiple contact information, particularly addresses.

Reviewing the Packet 4. Any mode selected other than Monthly requires a conversation with the Agent/Manager 8. Make sure dates are correct on paper packets The frequency payments should be sent in should be monthly. If it is anything other than monthly, that warrants a call with the manager. Non-monthly payment modes, don’t generate a late bill and the reports don’t update as accurately. Plus would you rather have to rely on a bookkeeper sending 12 checks a year vs. 24, 26, or 52?

Understanding Billing Payment Frequency

Payment Modes The selections made on the Worksite Approval Paperwork are critical They determine the rates the employees will be quoted, based on their deduction type And they determine how much premium and how often the company will be billed The frequency payments should be sent in should be monthly. If it is anything other than monthly, that warrants a call with the manager. Non-monthly payment modes, don’t generate a late bill and the reports don’t update as accurately. Plus would you rather have to rely on a bookkeeper sending 12 checks a year vs. 24, 26, or 52?

Payment Modes Payment Mode Number Bills Per Year Weekly 52 Bi-Weekly
26 Semi-Monthly 24 Every 4 Weeks 13 Monthly 12 The frequency payments should be sent in should be monthly. If it is anything other than monthly, that warrants a call with the manager. Non-monthly payment modes, don’t generate a late bill and the reports don’t update as accurately. Plus would you rather have to rely on a bookkeeper sending 12 checks a year vs. 24, 26, or 52?

Payment Modes We always want the employer to pay their bill monthly. Why? Most other bills (rent, electric) are paid monthly Fewest number of times they have to pay Any other payment mode, they will not receive a late bill Reporting easier to inspect The frequency payments should be sent in should be monthly. If it is anything other than monthly, that warrants a call with the manager. Non-monthly payment modes, don’t generate a late bill and the reports don’t update as accurately. Plus would you rather have to rely on a bookkeeper sending 12 checks a year vs. 24, 26, or 52?

Monthly Bill Bookkeeper should pay the amount on the bill
Every 13 weeks the deductions and billing will balance out to $0 The frequency payments should be sent in should be monthly. If it is anything other than monthly, that warrants a call with the manager. Non-monthly payment modes, don’t generate a late bill and the reports don’t update as accurately. Plus would you rather have to rely on a bookkeeper sending 12 checks a year vs. 24, 26, or 52?

Monthly Bill Bookkeeper should pay the amount on the bill
The amount deducted may not match the bill Every 13 weeks the deductions and billing will balance out to $0 The frequency payments should be sent in should be monthly.

If it is anything other than monthly, that warrants a call with the manager. Non-monthly payment modes, don’t generate a late bill and the reports don’t update as accurately. Plus would you rather have to rely on a bookkeeper sending 12 checks a year vs. 24, 26, or 52?

Bi-weekly vs. Semi-monthly
There are 52 weeks in a year Bi-weekly pay mode means 26 payments. They should be set up on Monthly bill to reduce number of payments Semi-monthly pay mode means 24 payments. They should be set up on Monthly bill to reduce number of payments Some companies pay their employees bi-weekly (26 times a year) but on two paychecks a year, they don’t take any deductions, meaning they should be on a semi-monthly bill (24 times a year) The frequency payments should be sent in should be monthly. If it is anything other than monthly, that warrants a call with the manager. Non-monthly payment modes, don’t generate a late bill and the reports don’t update as accurately. Plus would you rather have to rely on a bookkeeper sending 12 checks a year vs. 24, 26, or 52?

The No. 1 Reason Worksite cases blow up is because authorizations are not delivered on time and deductions never start or start late 90% of the reasons business is pended during the issue process is because of poor solidification at the worksite. Agents must make sure the proposed insured understands what they bought, how much is costs and how often it will come out of their paycheck.

New Worksite Case Verification Calls
On Worksite Cases, if it starts good, it stays good. If it starts bad it stays bad QM’s are responsible for making sure the first bill gets paid We do that by verifying three critical points: Payroll Deduction Authorizations delivered Deductions Started First Bill Received

PD Authorization This is the Payroll Deduction Authorization. It is a triplicate carbon copy form. The canary copy goes to the bookkeeper.

PD Authorization – Employee Sees
It’s important to know the language the customer is agreeing to when they sign the Payroll Deduction Authorization. This is the language that outlines when they can drop their coverage outside the enrollment period.

Points to Remember – Employer Sees
It’s important to know the language the customer is agreeing to when they sign the Payroll Deduction Authorization. This is the language that outlines when they can drop their coverage outside the enrollment period.

What happens every week?
Last week of September Were authorizations for September enrollments and re-enrollments turned in to bookkeeper? First week of October Did deductions start for September enrollments? Second week of October Did August enrollments receive first bill? Third week of October Are all cases paid for October? Every week each month, something key happens in the Agency to make sure all worksite cases are running smoothly. Last week of the month: Were deductions turned in to the bookkeeper for cases enrolled that month? First week of the month: Were deductions started for the previous month’s enrollments? Second week of the month: Did enrollments that ended two months ago receive their first bill? Third week of the month: Are all cases paid current, particularly cases paying for the first time?

Tracking Existing Cases

Why track existing cases?
To ensure prompt payment: Keeps commissions and renewals coming Identify issues with the business Make sure they are paid current before re-enrollments Do not re-enroll a case that past due for payment There are many advantages to tracking and servicing existing worksite cases.

Use Qlikview Worksite Dashboard Updates Tuesdays ID cases 15+ days past due Use the Qlikview Worksite Dashboard to track payments for existing cases.

Use AL04 Worksite List by Franchise If a case appears to be late, verify on AL915 Worksite Management Info Report before calling the business Sometimes the case has paid but one policy has not, making the case appear late Use the Qlikview Worksite Dashboard to track payments for existing cases.

Worksite Online Billing
Most common challenges with Online Billing Bills are ed (they don’t get a paper bill) Bills ed from on the 22nd of the month Can’t log in: PIN on welcome from Worksite online billing can be a great tool for computer savvy bookkeepers. Best guidance is the start the case on a paper bill, meet with the bookkeeper to get the first bill paid, then switch them over in person so you can show them how to log in.

Moving Payroll Deduction Customers to Bank Draft

Moving Payroll Deduction to Bank Draft
More premium lost on this issue than any other! Are you licensed? If so … Will move transferred business to you for commissions

How the Money Works Agency Owners can move commissions/renewals to:
Agents / Supervising Agents Agency Director / Regional Agency Directors Licensed Quality Manager The newly commissioned person must have performed work to conserve the business Agency Owner continues receiving, if already getting paid, or begins receiving commissions/renewals, if not Agency Director continues receiving, if already getting paid, or begins receiving commissions/renewals, if not

How the Money Works If there are unpaid first-year commissions, they will be paid into the commission account Renewals will be paid as-earned starting with the first premium payment following conservation Renewals will be paid at the rate it was payable at the time the policy was originally issued

Original Writing Agent
Original writing agent should always receive first opportunity to conserve As always, if the original writing agent conserves the business, they keep getting commissions/renewals Recommendation is to give original agent 7 days to conserve. After that, open to all Agency

Waiving Premiums TMK Agent training only. Not for sales use. 228

Waiving Premium Rules Will waive up to three months premium
Will only waive premiums that are missed Do not waive future premiums When moving customers from payroll deduction to bank draft, we can waive up to two months premium but only premiums that have been missed. For example, if the policy came off the bill due for Jan. 1 and we contact the customer on Feb. 5 and they wanted to keep their coverage, we would waive the January premium and draft them for February. They haven’t missed February.

Waiving Premium Rules Today is July 10
Paid to 7/1 = waive 0 months. Draft for July Paid to 6/1 = waive 1 month (June). Draft for July Paid to 5/1 = waive 2 months (May & June). Draft for July Paid to 4/1 = waive 3 months (April, May & June) Importance of getting bills paid on time When moving customers from payroll deduction to bank draft, we can waive up to two months premium but only premiums that have been missed. For example, if the policy came off the bill due for Jan. 1 and we contact the customer on Feb. 5 and they wanted to keep their coverage, we would waive the January premium and draft them for February. They haven’t missed February.

When do we draft? Premium drafted as soon as conservation form received in the home office Example: Today is July 17 Policy is due for June 1 Waive June payment Waive July payment (since after July 15) Draft on July 18 when form received in home office for August premium Draft next on September 1st through 10th for September premium When moving customers from payroll deduction to bank draft, we can waive up to two months premium but only premiums that have been missed. For example, if the policy came off the bill due for Jan. 1 and we contact the customer on Feb. 5 and they wanted to keep their coverage, we would waive the January premium and draft them for February. They haven’t missed February.

Waiving Premium Rules The 15th is the cutoff each month for waiving premium On July 10, if a customer is due for July 1 we wouldn’t waive premium On July 16, if a customer is due for July 1 we would waive July’s premium and draft for August Remember, each time a month’s premium is waived, everyone involved is waiving that month’s commission or renewal When moving customers from payroll deduction to bank draft, we can waive up to two months premium but only premiums that have been missed. For example, if the policy came off the bill due for Jan. 1 and we contact the customer on Feb. 5 and they wanted to keep their coverage, we would waive the January premium and draft them for February. They haven’t missed February.

Three good things Many times the employee is no longer on the bill because they left to take another job We can keep their premiums coming out of their paycheck by setting up their new employer as a Liberty National franchise Our customer knows who handles benefits because they just met with them The No. 1 reason customers will hesitate is because they are out of a job. Guess what? We’re hiring! Many customers have come to work for us Personal recruiting incentive ($400)

Reinstatement Bonus Transmittal

Who are we calling? Lapse list ed as spreadsheet by Home Office 22nd of each month from List is pure lapses. No cash value, Extended Insurance, Reduced Paid Up, Death Claims

The List Quality Control Manager should be in charge of distributing and tracking lapsed policies All Reinstatements are turned in to the Quality Control Manager so she can submit to Home Office and provide Agency Owner info on who is doing the best job working them (play the hot hand) Don’t distribute all the leads at once Lapses don’t go bad, people’s situations change. That’s why we are distributing multiple months

Sorting the List The list is sorted by ZIP Code to group leads
Then it is sorted by Payor Name so all policies are grouped Then it is sorted by Insured Name

The List Plan Codes Cheat Sheet should be printed out for call session. Codes not listed can be found in the Policy Prefix Book Last Paid: If there is a letter in this column, the last premium was paid via Payroll Deduction Issue Date: Date policy originally purchased. Good for reminding customer how long they have been paying for policy

The List DPT: Date Paid To. This is the last month the customer paid a premium. Used to calculate how many premiums the Agent will need to collect Payor Name and Insured Name can be different. Examples include husband paying for wife, grandparent paying for grandchild, etc. Ask for the Payor when you call. Some will have no phone number or bad phone numbers. We have an address, go see them PO Boxes use zabasearch.com

Getting Policy Info Because the lapsed policy is not typically in the Agent’s agency, the Agent will need the Quality Manager to pull the customer’s info from the Field Inquiry screen prior to going on the appointment

What do we say? This is a customer service call, not a sales call!

What do we say? No matter the response, set the appointment.
