• While notice periods vary by state, we remain committed to complying with all regulatory requirements and will accept new paper applications until each notice period ends.
  
• We will share state-by-state submission deadlines so you can plan accordingly.
  
• This change does not affect existing policyholders. Their coverage and service will continue uninterrupted.
