Privacy Notice
This is a reminder that the form U1342N/U1342A R-2 must be included with all new business applications for the following states:
Arizona,
California, Georgia,
Illinois,
Maryland,
Montana,
North Carolina,
Oregon, Virginia
and Wisconsin. This Authorization to Obtain and Disclose Information form is divided into two parts — part U1342N stays with the insured, and U1342A R-2 accompanies the application — used with Underage health and life applications. This is not a new form, and is required because it explains customers’ privacy options. Review all compliance sheets fully to be certain you have and are familiar with all required forms. Few things are more frustrating than finding out an otherwise good app has pended due to an oversight requiring an Agent to revisit
an applicant.
