To avoid disruption of commissions and ensure compliance with regulations, starting November 1, 2023, new applications must list the encrypted tax identification number (TIN) of the agent, not the agency, for the writing agent and that agent must have an active license and any state-required appointment.
Entering your writing agent name and encrypted TIN on the required documents ensures that you will be paid accurately and timely. Whether you are quoting, enrolling, or submitting an Agent of Record change, including that key information will help us make sure that the information in our system is correct and keep us compliant with state regulations.
Starting November 1, 2023, agent license and any state-required appointment will be validated at the time of commission payment and apply to both the writing agent and the payee tax ID. If the writing agent does not have an active license and any state-required appointment at the time of commission, they will not be eligible for commission payment, nor will their agency, in real time or retroactively.
Thank you for your partnership.
