Year-End Dates and Deadlines

End-of-Year Commission Date

The year-end commission cut-off date is Dec. 27, 2019. We'll make every effort to place your business in force before this date. We'll pay commissions on policies placed in force after Dec. 27, 2019, during the mid-January 2020 commission cycle.
