  2. RLI Sub-Producer, You have been given access to the RLI Specialty Markets Community page via a User ID and password provided to you by an RLI Administrator. You are not directly appointed by RLI and are not paid a commission by RLI. Any questions you have regarding your relationship with RLI should be directed to your RLI Administrator. Their name should be located on slide 3 of this manual or on any RLI policy documents. Within this system, you will find a host of information enabling you to interact with RLI for Personal Umbrella Policies (PUP) and/or Home Business Insurance (HBI) policies. This manual is specific to PUP written with RLI. From the “Community Page”, you will launch “PUP Access”, used to quote and inquire on RLI Personal Umbrella Policies. The system also has the ability to provide copies of umbrella forms and reports and make inquires on existing policies. Always remember, policies are not bound until RLI assigns a policy number which will start with the prefix “PUP”. The following instructions will illustrate how to use this on-line system. You will find information on how to quote new submissions, how to inquire on your existing policies and how to obtain copies of necessary forms. We will explain the “terminology” used within the system so you are aware of the status of any particular policy. The “Reports” areas can provide information with expiration lists or other data to help you interact easier with your accounting area and your customers. Where possible, illustrations have been included to help you along the way. Should you encounter a situation not noted in the Table of Contents, please contact your Administrator.

(N302) This exceeds the RLI underwriting guidelines, and therefore a non-renewal notice was issued. • A full listing of all non-renewal reason codes appears on page 44.

  41. 2 1 • “Policy Inquiry” Screen • In this example, the insured has not returned their completed renewal questionnaire by the due date. This will generate a non-renewal notice. (N23) • Instead of completing the renewal questionnaire, the insured has chosen to let the policy lapse by cancelling the policy as of the expiration date. The policy is now in cancel status. • Note: Insureds can submit their renewal questionnaire up to the expiration date to rescind a notice of non-renewal (if the risk is eligible).

  42. 1 2 • “Policy Inquiry” Screen • In this example, the insured has not answered seven of the questions on the questionnaire, generating a non-renewal for incomplete underwriting information (N41). • The unanswered questions are indicated by a blank response to the corresponding underwriting question. Note: The insured can always amend their renewal questionnaire before their expiration date if they have made an error or omitted an answer. The revised response(s) must be initialed or signed by the insured and dated for verification.

  43. 1 • “Policy Inquiry” Screen • In this example, the policy has lapsed due to nonpayment of premium. In all states, except New York, a lapse letter is generated 10 days after the expiration date or due date of the policy (whichever is the latter).
