As part of our commitment to providing transparency, we want to notify our partners that after November 15, 2019, Lincoln will not have an approved MoneyGuard product available in the state of New York. We are actively working with the state to get our 2017 Commissioners Standard Ordinary (CSO) Table product approved as soon as possible. Lincoln is dedicated to continuing our business in New York.
Due to the delay in product availability, we are putting in place an in good order application deadline for all Lincoln MoneyGuard® Reserve submissions. All applications must be received in good order by Lincoln’s back office by Friday, November 15, 2019. Our in good order requirement is put in place to help you and your clients meet the December 31, 2019 placement deadline. Submission guidelines are provided below.
Lincoln is committed to helping you meet your year-end goals. We look forward to sharing additional updates as they become available.
