=== Key Steps ===
# '''Determine the Type of transfer/rollover'''
## Decide whether to request a single-policy transfer or a book of business transfer.
## Confirm that the affected policies are nearing their renewal date and eligible for transfer.
# '''Complete the transfer/rollover Request Form'''
## Fill out the required form provided by the new WYO carrier.
## Include:
### Policy numbers for all policies being transferred.
### Agent’s signed authorization to access the original carrier’s system.
### Contact details for follow-up, if necessary.
# '''Gather Required Documentation'''
## For single-policy transfers:
### Provide supporting documents such as proof of prior coverage or payment records, if required.
## For book of business transfers:
### Ensure the list of policy numbers is complete and accurate.
# '''Submit the transfer/rollover Request'''
## Send the completed form and required documents to the new WYO carrier using the specified submission method (e.g., email, portal upload).
## Retain copies of the submission for your records.
# '''Follow Up with the New Carrier'''
## Monitor the status of the transfer/rollover request through the carrier’s system or by contacting their support team.
## Provide additional information or documentation promptly if requested.
=== Common Scenarios ===
* '''Missing Policy Numbers:''' Ensure the policy list for book of business transfers is accurate and complete before submission.
* '''Authorization Issues:''' Confirm the authorization form is signed and includes the correct credentials for accessing the original carrier’s system.
* '''Submission Errors:''' Check for carrier-specific requirements to avoid delays in processing the request.
