A local restaurant owner applies for a commercial key person life insurance policy on herself. During the application meeting, she decides not to pay the initial premium, preferring to review the issued policy first. Arrange the following procedural milestones in the correct chronological sequence required to establish the policy's effective date in this Collect on Delivery (COD) scenario.
- 1The applicant completes and submits the application without paying the initial premium.
- 2The insurer completes the underwriting process and issues the policy.
- 3The producer meets with the applicant to physically deliver the policy.
- 4The applicant pays the initial premium and signs a Statement of Good Health.
- 5The policy's coverage officially becomes legally effective.
Cevap
The correct sequence is: Application submitted without premium -> Policy issued -> Policy delivered -> Premium and Statement of Good Health collected -> Coverage becomes effective.
In a Collect on Delivery (COD) transaction, no coverage exists during underwriting. The correct chronological process is submission without premium, policy issuance, delivery, collection of premium along with a Statement of Good Health, and finally, the activation of coverage.

In a COD application where the initial premium is not paid upfront, coverage does not become effective until the policy is delivered, the initial premium is collected, and the applicant signs a Statement of Good Health.
