Please note that agents cannot begin writing until contracting is complete and an agent code has been issued.

| There is a mistake in my client’s application. How do I edit this? |
Prior to submitting the application to Underwriting, you have the ability to review and edit the application and make edits. Once an offer has been extended, information cannot be edited. If there is an error on the application, please contact SBLI at nav.support@quility.com or chat the helpdesk on Navigator. Please note, if inaccurate information is provided for the client’s name, Date of Birth, or Social Security number, the client may be requested to cancel their original submission/policy and redo the process.

| How do I resume an application? | In Navigator you can access any case by selecting the “Cases” tab on the side menu. From there, find the particular case you want to resume and view the case. On the case details page, if the case is resumable, you will see the “Open eApp” button in the upper right corner. Select that button to resume the case. If a case is not able to be resumed, you will not see the “Open eApp” button on the case details page. |

Full rider details are provided in the SBLI EasyTrak Digital Term Agent Guide. |
| My client was given an MIB hold. What does that mean? Does this decision get reported to MIB? | If your client completes underwriting questions and submits consent to be underwritten, a request for information is sent to MIB. If there is a match that is significant enough, then no decision is made, and the process is stopped. MIB is reporting back to Techficient a specific code(s) that is preventing rendering a decision from a previous application or policy. You can work with your client to clear up their MIB report and then work with SBLI to review and dispute their decision not to underwrite. |
| How do I dispute an MIB hold? |
SBLI cannot reconsider an application unless the MIB report contains incorrect information that has been corrected with MIB. If you believe the report is inaccurate and wish to pursue a correction, please follow the instructions below.
|
| Will the MIB report show a decline for my client? | On an MIB report, it does not state the decision of an application. However, there are certain details of the application that will be disclosed to the MIB. So, if a client indicates a certain health condition, we are required to send that code to MIB which will disclose the medical/risk information in the MIB report. We do not state whether they have been declined or no. |
| Is there a mobile quoting tool? | Your e-app link and agent platform will work from your mobile phone. |
| How does the e-policy delivery process work? | After the agent and client have completed the signature process, the client will receive an email from SBLI to register on my.sbli.com. Once registered, the client has the ability to view and download their policy package. The agent will have access to the policy within the sbliagent.com portal. |
| Will the agent get a copy of the policy? | Agents can download a copy of their client’s policies from the SBLI agent portal at sbliagent.com. The policy is not delivered to your e-app link. Once the client completes delivery, the policy number, premium, and other details will be available in the SBLI Agent Portal. |
| Is there an option for a paper copy of the policy? | Clients can print the policy from their self- service portal, or agents can print it via the SBLI Agent Portal. |
