Select the suitable application for your client by reviewing the information and relevant guides provided below. Ideally, choose the accelerated underwriting/non-medical application for a quicker process. However, eligibility for accelerated underwriting may be hindered by certain applicant histories.
Life - Accel UW/Non-Med App: Healthy individuals with a clean medical, legal, and financial history. If an applicant is not eligible for accelerated underwriting, they will enter into the traditional fully underwritten process and a medical exam will be ordered.

Accel UW/Non-Med App: Select this option to complete accelerated, juvenile, and non-medical cases. Non-medical cases can also be submitted via paper application if necessary.
Accelerated UW can only be submitted electronically through eApply. Paper applications will not be accepted.
There are TWO parts to the Accel UW/Non-Med application. The first part includes collecting general details and a HIPPA signature. Once this is completed, you will need to go back into the application to finalize the second part which includes additional key underwriting questions.
Life-Trad/EZ App App: Used for tele-underwriting and traditional underwriting applications. If your client has a health condition listed in the ratable conditions section of the underwriting guide (pg. 13), please use this e-application instead of the accelerated underwriting e-application.
Paper applications are rarely needed, but when required, please follow the protocol provided here for a straightforward process.
