To help increase the ease of doing business with Lincoln during this challenging environment, effective immediately, Underwriting and New Business will accept photo images of requirements.
The acceptance of photo images of requirements will enable submission of wet-signed forms in a digital format, limiting in-person meetings to obtain client signatures.
- What you need to know
- Lincoln will accept the photo version of requirements, so long as:
- Images are clear and wording is legible
- All form pages are included
- Entire document is visible in the image (including the form number and revision date)
- Lincoln will accept the photo version of requirements, so long as:
- Please submit images directly to your dedicated Underwriting and New Business team email box
- Clear images that fulfill requirements will not require the original document to be submitted to Lincoln
- The photo of the requirement will be retained and complete the file
- For EFT payment methods, Lincoln will accept a photo image of “voided” checks
- A photo image of Checks will NOT be accepted and must continue to be physically sent to Lincoln
- This option will be available for a limited time. Lincoln will reevaluate our position again in June 2020, as the situation changes, and as the CDC and World Health Organization gives further guidance
