Accelerated Underwriting in New York State
Based upon the recently released Circular Letter No. 1 from the New York State Department of Financial Services (available here), William Penn Life Insurance Company of New York will be withdrawing its APPcelerate accelerated underwriting program while we continue to assess the requirements of the Circular Letter.
All William Penn applications signed on or after Monday, January 28, 2019 will be subject to traditional underwriting and not eligible for the APPcelerate accelerated underwriting program.
From OneAmerica: “Beginning Jan. 1, 2019, the option of joint life with 4% acceleration will no longer be available on any Asset-Care product. This change allows us to maintain a healthy, robust product portfolio and continue providing products for consumers that are more life and LTC balanced.”
