State Suitability

Pre-Application Requirements

Suitability is critical when selling annuities, Long Term Care, and/or Linked Benefit Products.  These requirements may vary from state to state and company to company.

Individual states as well as insurance companies now require specific training BEFORE the sale of these products.

It is the responsibility of the producer to make sure he or she is compliant PRIOR to securing any client applications.

Please do not secure any client applications without being absolutely sure of your compliance at the state and carrier level. There are a few companies that require the producer to be contracted prior to securing an application.

To determine state by state requirements, visit the sites below.
