Approval / Selection Process
When
In order to become a United Heritage agent,
you must first obtain a
New Agent
Contract Kit.
This kit includes the necessary paperwork
to provide an appointment with the company.
Fill out the paperwork, and send it into
our Home Office along with any required appointment fees (should
your state charge fees). If you are not sure whether or not
your state charges an appointment fee, you may find out from
the appropriate
State
Insurance Department.
After the paperwork is received, a background check is conducted
as required by law. A Vector check, which is the insurance
industry debt reporting system, is completed as well. The
authorization for a background investigation is a form within
the new agent contract kit. (Helpful tip to speed things
up--If this form is faxed in to our licensing department along
with the Application to Represent form, the background investigation
is normally completed by the time those forms and the balance
of the appointment material is received in our home office
via US Mail.)
The entire process usually takes no more than 5-7 working days. When all material is received and approved, you will be assigned a writing number and may begin submitting business to United Heritage.
Special note
to Pre-Need Agents
The new agent contract kit for Pre-Need agents is identical
to that of a traditional life agent with the exception of
the addition of the Funeral Home Authorization Form. This
form will “link” the agent to a particular Funeral Home, allowing
that agent to submit business naming that funeral home. Should
an agent write Pre-Need for more than one Funeral Home, a
separate Funeral Home Authorization for each Funeral Home
for which an agent would like to submit business for.
No
agent may write Pre-Need products with United Heritage (Advantage
Plan e Series or Protector 5,10) without a Funeral Home
Authorization from at least one Funeral Home.
