These minimum requirements must be satisfied to achieve the LIDMA E-Solution “Seal of Approval”.  The vendor description of how each requirement is met is intended to help LIDMA members evaluate different  Straight Through Processing options and pick the solution that is right for their business model.

The Seal of Approval Process will occur twice annually.  Below is the annual submission calendar:

*Any submissions received after the posted deadline will be held until the next review period.  Applicant will be notified of this action.

In addition to the announcement by LIDMA of all Seal awards, all Seal recipients (both winter and summer submissions) will receive special recognition at the LIDMA fall meeting.

Please remember the purpose of LIDMA, “The ultimate objective is to serve people better, to enhance the buying experience and efficiently get more life insurance protection in force for the families and businesses that need it.”  We hope this Seal Process will help you find ways to do this more efficiently.
