  • William Penn NY term products are available (special on-line application and AppAssist paper forms available along with the Banner link and forms.) Please note this program is not available in NY for replacement cases
  • Your MERIT Case Manager will keep you up-to-date regarding phone interview status, exam status and any other requirements that Banner has ordered and send you the underwriting decision and the policy (e-delivery of this policy is made an available option to your client during the interview)

Please see marketing materials to explain the AppAssist process:

  • AppAssist Agent Guide
  • AppAssist Consumer Guide
  • AppAssist Agent Addendum – Existing Banner Agents may need to sign and submit this to MERIT with their first AppAssist submission, check with your MERIT Licensing Specialist.

The on-line application option is the fastest way for you and your client to proceed with this program. You do not have to be contracted with Banner/William Penn to use the on-line request but please contact your MERIT Case Manager to get contracted with Banner/William Penn as soon as possible if you are not or they will contact you when they receive your submission.

The other option is to submit the paper application to your MERIT Case Manager to process.
