Auto-Policy Change Approvals
08.01.23

Citizens has made enhancements in PolicyCenter® to improve processing by auto-approving agent-initiated policy changes to mailing addresses and other contact information.



Auto-Issued Policy Changes

PolicyCenter now will approve and issue the following agent-created policy changes automatically to the first-named insured:

  • Primary Email Address
  • Secondary Email Address
  • Home Phone
  • Mobile Phone
  • Work Phone
  • Primary Phone
  • Fax
  • Mailing Address (only when the dwelling use is not Primary)
  • Type 1-6 Mortgagee updates to mortgagee (Dwelling screen, under Additional Interests)

Dwelling screen for mortgagee selection of changes for auto-approval.

Notes

  • The policy change must be effective on the current date or a future date within the current policy term.
  • Underwriting approval is required for backdated policy changes.
  • Contact changes for a named insured when combined with policy changes that cannot be auto-issued will require underwriting approval.
  • Agents cannot add, update or delete trustee or additional insured without Underwriting approval.
