Protective Life is committed to keeping you informed of processes we have in place relating to appointments and the submission of new business. To that end, we want to make you aware of important information relating to appointment renewals in Pennsylvania.

As Pennsylvania individual renewal notices are reviewed, Protective will process appointment renewals for agents who have submitted business within the last 24 months. We will not renew appointments for agents without production in this timeframe. When these agents are ready to submit business again in Pennsylvania, re-instating their appointments will be quick and easy.

To make sure agents are informed of this process, Protective Life will send a letter to impacted agents one month in advance of the renewal date. If business is submitted within 30 days of the first notification, Protective will automatically renew the agent’s appointment. If business is not submitted, agents will receive a second letter explaining their renewal will not be processed.

When these agents are ready to submit business again in Pennsylvania, they can simply contact us by phone or email to re-instate their appointment and new paperwork is not required. This process typically takes 1-2 business days and, once we are contacted, an email confirmation from Protective will be sent upon appointment re-instatement.

An appointment with Pennsylvania does not impact other state appointments or agent contracts (agent numbers). With or without a Pennsylvania appointment renewal, agents can:

• Service existing policies
• Receive commissions and statements
• Provide contact information

We appreciate your business. If we can answer questions or assist you, contact us at plbcontracting@protective.com or 800-444-2658.
