Warnings
All data that is added or updated using this page will
apply only to the affected record in Producer Manager. The data will not
be transmitted directly from Producer Manager to states nor update state
records.
Notes
Note: When a producer holds at least one active individual-to-firm
association in a state, the Status
field in the Details data section
of the producer's record will hold a value of Active. This condition persists
even after the producer no longer holds an active state appointment. To
set the Status field to Inactive,
you must terminate
all active appointments and individual-to-firm associations (using
the Terminate Individual Firm Association
State page).
Note: You may submit a individual-to-firm association termination
transaction to certain states using the Vertafore Compliance Express Individual Association Maintenance
service. To access the service through Producer Manager, select Service
Requests from the Express
Services menu, and then click the Association
Maintenance - Individual link. For more information, see Service
Requests and Compliance Express Online Help.
Note: Terminating an association will not automatically inactivate
an indirect
agreement that the system may have added automatically to the individual
producer's record when the association was added. For more information,
see Add Associations.
