Genworth is changing the timing of the end of year paydown. October 4, 2019 will be the payout for commission payments that have not previously met the minimum payment requirement. Genworth will process all commissions due on October 4, 2019. The $50 minimum payment requirement will resume after October 4, 2019 and will continue through the next commission pay down in 2020.

Genworth will resume normal commission payments that have met the

We’re Strongest When We Work Together
Nothing is More Powerful than Passionate People Working Together. Recently, we’ve seen the IUL industry beginning to use complex product features to enhance their hypothetical illustration values. This has taken the focus off of doing what’s right for clients and put it on to which company can manipulate their product to illustrate better values. Choosing a product based on these illustrated values might be appealing, but it may not be what’s best for our industry in the long run. We need to get back to selling IULs based on what they were designed to do and provide customers with a

Initial Premium Bank Draft Update
We recently informed you of a technical issue with our initial premium payment drafts. We have fixed the issue and the bank drafts for initial premium are functioning like normal. When your client requests a specific date for the first premium draft, their bank account will be drafted on the day they requested – not a few days later. If your client picks the second Tuesday of each month – their payment will come out on the second Tuesday of each month. Don’t forget to let your clients know they have options when selecting the date their payment comes out.

Clarification on Lumico’s Underwriting Process
Clarification on Lumico’s Underwriting Process It has been mentioned by several agents that during the underwriting process Milliman RX Rules has been making underwriting decisions, based on the drugs they show for an individual applying for Lumico’s medicare supplement plans. We believe this is happening because when a client is declined due to a particular drug or combination of drugs we suggest the applicant contact Milliman to see and confirm the drugs they have listed are actually correct. The results received from Milliman are then reviewed by Lumico for a underwriting decision. Milliman in no way makes these underwriting decisions
