Update on Bank
Draft Reminder
As announced in last month's issue of UA News, Agents who submit special requests
for insureds who wish to have bank drafts coincide with their Social Security check,
should remember the following points:
- Special requests will not be accepted for
policies with effective dates between the fifth and the 15th of the month.
- UA will accept a draft date special request if the effective
date of the policy is between the 16th and the fourth of the next
month.
To make submission of these requests easier, we have created Form
BDSR, which you
should staple to the application along with the voided check. These forms are available to
order from Supply. |
