TRANSCRIPT
The Reinstate with Redate program is designed to help retain members, keep commissions and boost persistency.
This program allows you or the Certificate Owner to request a PlanRight, Term or Whole Life/ADV Plus certificate that has lapsed within the first year to be reinstated without paying back premiums. If approved, the certificate is first reinstated then redated based on the premium amount paid prior to the lapse. A lapsed certificate reinstated under this program will improve your persistency.
