Attention Arkansas, Michigan and Rhode Island: Best interest is here!

Arkansas, Michigan, and Rhode Island have updated the requirements around best interest and suitability in annuity transactions. A new training will be required to be able to submit applications for any annuity products, including annuities funding whole life.  The changes for Arkansas and Michigan went into effect Dec. 29, 2020, and for Rhode Island, the changes will take effect until April 1, 2021.  Information will be forthcoming on the new training requirements and the new forms to use in these states. Original forms can be submitted until updated ones are made available.  Note: States previously approved include Arizona and Iowa.

New Best Interest Annuity Suitability Policies and Procedures Producers’ Guide for Arkansas, Michigan and Rhode Island

A new version of the Producers’ Guide has been created to align with the 2020 Best Interest revisions of the NAIC Suitability in Annuity Transactions Model Regulation.  These changes go in effect Dec. 29, for Arkansas and Michigan and April 1, for Rhode Island.  The prior version of the Producers’ Guide will remain in effect for those states that have not yet adopted the revised Best Interest requirements.  Review the new Best Interest Annuity Suitability Policies and Procedures Producers’ Guide here .  All other states will continue using the original producers’ guide.  Note: States previously approved include Arizona and Iowa.

Operations Updates

Grace period in place to assist policyholders receiving late billing statements

OneAmerica has become aware that due to pandemic and weather mailing delays, some policyholders are receiving their premium notices very close to the payment due date.  If you receive calls from concerned policyholders, please keep the following in mind:

  • Although we contractually grant 30 days grace to our clients, we actually provide up to 60 days of grace.  So, there is ample time for clients to get their payment to OneAmerica.  Policies are fully in force and active during a grace period.
  • OneAmerica neither charges late fees nor assess any kind of penalties for late payments.
  • OneAmerica provides no payment history reporting of any kind to credit agencies on client payment activities.

OneAmerica continues to monitor the USPS situation and are working on process improvements to mitigate some of these challenges.  Thank you for your support as we all work through this situation.

New for California: Updated asset-based LTC loan/withdrawal process

In an effort to help clients better understand the impact of taking a loan or withdrawal from their asset-based LTC policy, California will now require policy owners to sign a letter outlining this impact before OneAmerica can process a loan or withdrawal.  This will affect California Asset-Care, Annuity Care, Annuity Care II and Indexed Annuity Care policies and contracts issued on or after Jan. 1, 2021.  Learn more about this new regulation and review our FAQs.

Access March interest rates

Review new business interest rates for OneAmerica company products that took effect on March 15, as well as changes to the Guaranteed Interest Rate for new issues of Annuity Care that took effect on March 15 in certain states.

Beyond Care Solutions

Beyond Care Solutions products, OneAmerica helps Americans secure their financial future through their Retirement Services and Employee Benefits products and services.  Read more below and reach out to your OneAmerica regional sales director to learn more.
