How to Get to the Next Advance Level and Submit Advances Explained. . .

  • Any agent who is eligible for Advance on Submit must make a written request to AFC for Approval by the last Friday of the Month in order to be qualified for Advance on Submit beginning the first new business date of the following month.

  • Any request from an Agent to change his/her advance status must be submitted in writing  to AFC. (e.g., changing from Advance to Earned basis)

  • For all Submit Advances, the second half of the Advance is determined by the difference between quoted premium and issued monthly premium.  If your issued premium is different than the submitted premium, differences will be made up when you are advanced the second half on Issue. 

  • All Advances are subject to the AFC Agent Agreement as it pertains to production requirements for all contracted writing agents. The production requirement for continued eligibility for an agent to receive any advance is that the agent must have submitted one application, other than the case for which Advance is requested, within 30 days of the request.
