New Online Tool for Agent Appointments Coming in 2019

During 2019, the #1 ranked producer compensation software, VUE, will replace our current agent appointment process. Benefits of the new solution include:

• Online producer onboarding and contracting
• Automated appointments and renewals
• Prepopulated forms with agent data from the National Insurance Producer Registry
• Self-service account maintenance (e.g., name changes, direct deposit)

Partners, producers, agencies, and agents can view their license status and USAble Life appointments in the VUE producer portal. USAble Life is currently testing the tool internally and researching the addition of online commission statements to VUE’s functionality.

“Overall, VUE will improve the service level to our partners and agents and make us far easier to do business with,” said Emily Connell, USAble Life Director of Producer Compensation, Compliance, and Reporting (PCCR).

All appointed agents and agencies will receive information via email about how to register for the portal before VUE goes live. For more information, please email licensing@usablelife.com.
