Mutual of Omaha: Drop ticket announcement

 

1.  Our IUL via drop ticket announcement

Underwriting and New Business have received several inquiries for processing alternatives in light of the current situation. 
 
This email provides information on the following topics:

  • NEW: We are now allowing fully-underwritten IUL policies to be submitted using Speed eTicket (drop ticket) and using Accelerated Underwriting

  • The status of our new business vendors

  • Accepted ways of accepting electronic signatures for new business processing

  • Email submission of applications and requirements

  • Policy output options

Note: This information pertains to our Life and Health product lines, excluding Long-Term Care, Medicare Supplement and Prescription Drug Plan (PDP). We will engage our partners at LTCG for available options on our LTC product and communicate those when available. 

Fully-Underwritten IUL will now be available on our Speed eTicket (Drop Ticket)  
We are working to add our fully-underwritten IUL products (Income Advantage IUL and Life Protection Advantage IUL) to the dropdown on the iPipeline screen. In the interim, please follow these instructions as a workaround.  

  • Submit your application as if you were submitting a Term Life Answers (TLA) drop ticket application

  • In the Special Requests section on the Producer Information screen, please specify the IUL product being applied for (either Income Advantage IUL or Life Protection Advantage IUL) 

  • The application will be submitted to the Home Office as a TLA application (both products use the same base application)

  • The Home Office Case Manager will have a new policy number created for the IUL policy and the TLA policy number will be terminated. The Case Manager will send an email that includes the new policy number.

  • All IUL-specific forms, including the allocation form and the illustration acknowledgement form or the signed illustration, will need to be submitted to Mutual of Omaha separately after you receive the IUL policy number. These can be sent via email utilizing the Submission via Email process guidelines.
