-=== Overview ===
+{{needsedit}}
-transfer/rollover requests ensure policyholders maintain continuous coverage while transitioning to a new WYO carrier. Agents must provide accurate information and required documentation for the process to be completed successfully.
-=== 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.
