Broker quote handoff checklist

A useful quote request starts the work without turning the first conversation into a full implementation project. Gather what is available, flag what is not, and use the secure upload for census files.

Step 1

Gather the five starting inputs

  1. Census

    Include the fields required for quoting. Upload the file through the secure quote request. Do not email spreadsheets containing Social Security numbers.

  2. Current benefits and carriers

    List the benefits already in place so the quoting team can understand the existing package and what the group wants to change.

  3. Pay frequency

    Confirm how often employees are paid. Payroll timing affects case setup and deduction planning.

  4. Target effective date

    Share the date the employer is working toward, even if it is still under discussion.

  5. Lines to explore

    Identify the benefit categories the employer or broker wants quoted.

Step 2

Add useful account context

  1. Workforce and locations

    Include the approximate eligible employee count and work locations. Product availability and requirements vary by state.

  2. Platform and payroll

    Identify the current benefits platform, Employee Navigator status when applicable, and any known payroll or access constraints.

  3. Funding and enrollment

    Describe the contribution approach under consideration and the expected enrollment window.
