NEW BUSINESS AND UNDERWRITING INFORMATION
| Deadline | Requirements |
| March 10, 2017 |
The current John Hancock Term (‘16R) product will no longer be offered in states that have approved the new Term (‘17) product. However, in order to provide a transition period in approved states, John Hancock Term (‘16R) applications will be accepted through March 10, 2017. |
| April 7, 2017 |
All John Hancock Term (‘16R) pending applications must complete the formal underwriting process and all administrative requirements to issue the policy must be received by John Hancock by April 7, 2017. |
Should you already have an application in New Business and wish to have a Term (‘17) policy underwritten, please contact your Case Manager. Coinciding with the launch of the Term product, new submissions received at our service office prior to March 10th that do not specify the Term product version applied for (Term ‘16R or Term ‘17) will be set up under the Term (‘17) product. Please contact your Case Manager to make any changes to the product selected on pending cases submitted during the transition period. In states that have not yet approved the new Term (‘17) product, specific transition rules will be communicated as those state approvals are received.
REISSUES
Reissues of John Hancock Term (‘16R) policies to Term (‘17) will be considered only on John Hancock Term (’16R) policies that are within the Free Look period. Subject to normal underwriting practices, policies may require additional evidence to ensure health status has not changed.
INFORCE CASES
Term-to-Term replacements are not allowed within the first policy year. Any replacement of an inforce policy (after the first policy year) would require replacement forms, be subject to full underwriting, and possibly result in reduced compensation. Please note that the six month product exchange feature is not available on Term products.
