  • Backdating to the inception date is allowed for corrections.

The Policy Change cannot be completed without choosing an effective date.

5. Review and Submit

Review the changes for accuracy and completeness before finalizing.

Once the effective date is entered, click the Issue button.

The system will process the change immediately.
