New Activity Process: Review and Provide Additional Information

-------------------

-------------------

February 27, 2017

Citizens has improved the PolicyCenter® process for notifying agents when additional underwriting information is required to determine if a property meets eligibility requirements for a new-business submission or existing policy. This new process will shorten underwriting processing times dramatically.



Review and Provide Additional Information Activity

The agent of record will receive a Review and Provide Additional Information activity on their Desktop when an Underwriter needs additional information and/or supporting documents. To view and complete the activity:

  1. Open the activity and select View Reasons for details of the Underwriter’s request.
  2. Select Link Document to attach supporting documents and/or photos to the activity. If necessary, add a note to the Text box.
  3. Select Return to Underwriter by the due date. The activity will be removed from your Desktop.

Select View Notes to display notes associated with the activity. PolicyCenter automatically creates a policy note when:

  • An Underwriter sends a Review and Provide Additional Information activity to the agent.
  • The agent returns the activity to the Underwriter.
