Important Year-End Deadlines and Holiday Office Closures

October 27, 2025

The holiday season and the end of 2025 are right around the corner. To help you meet your clients’ expectations during this busy time, here are some key dates to keep in mind. 

Our offices will be closed on: 

  • Thursday and Friday, Nov. 27 and 28
  • Wednesday and Thursday, Dec. 24 and 25
  • Thursday, Jan. 1, 2026 
     

Distributions

To ensure we can process year-end distributions by Dec. 31, we must receive completed distribution requests by Monday, Dec. 15, 2025. 

Requests received after that date, or those missing required information, will be processed as quickly as possible ─ but we can’t guarantee completion by year-end. 

New Business

We must receive all new business requirements by Monday, Dec. 15, 2025, to issue contracts by Dec. 31. This includes: 

  • Completed applications with all premiums and no outstanding requirements
  • Any pending requirements for in-progress applications
