Commercial plans

Fixed Funding Solutions broker bonuses and employer incentives

If you’re not already looking at Fixed Funding Solutions for your clients, now’s a great time to start. We’re pleased to announce the launch of several broker and employer incentives for new Fixed Funding Solutions groups with July 1, 2021 through December 1, 2021 effective dates.

New Broker Bonus

$100 per employee enrolled at time of sale in any Fixed Funding Solutions large and small group plan.

More competitive pricing

We’re dedicated to lowering prices whenever possible with more adjustments being implemented for July 1 and beyond.

Implementation Credits for New Groups

Extension of the small group Fixed Funding Solutions employer transition credit of $100 per enrolled employee at the time of sale.
New large group Fixed Funding Solutions transition credit of $150 per enrolled employee at the time of sale.
Eligibility begins at effective date.

Surplus guarantee if Fixed Funding Solutions plan is renewed

New one-time guaranteed minimum surplus amounts based on employees enrolled in any Fixed Funding Solutions product, credited at 90-150 days after renewal*:
o 10 - 14 enrolled employees = $1,500 minimum surplus
o 15 - 24 enrolled employees = $2,000 minimum surplus
o 25 - 50 enrolled employees = $5,000 minimum surplus
o 51 - 100 enrolled employees = $8,000 minimum surplus

Example: A 13-life group with an August 2021 effective date realizes a $1,000 surplus for plan year. This group would be credited an additional $500.

*Based on average number of employees over duration of the plan year.

Restrictions apply. This material is not a contract. Incentives can be terminated or modified at any time without notice.
