Life business plan administration enhancements
Business Market Administration (BMA) provides complimentary service for employer-owned or employer-sponsored plans. This team is here to help make it easier for you to get these plans implemented—and retain them.
As part of our continued effort to improve the experience for you, the plan sponsor, and participants, BMA now offers more a more pro‐active, customized service offering
- Proactive service and support. Plan sponsors will receive proactive service and support from the BMA team who will work with their financial professional to help ensure the needs of their plan(s) and policies are being met.
- Education. Plan sponsors will have a better understanding of what they purchased and how it’s working to accomplish their business goals.
- Employer digital experience. We’ve enhanced our online experience to help plan sponsors and participants better manage their plans and policies online
- Participant digital experience for SERP and Select Reward plans. A key enhancement to our plan management is the participant online access to the liability tracking of their benefit. Previously, participants in these two plans had no way to view their benefit online.
Two forms will be required during onboarding:
- Key Decision Maker Form (DD9699)—used to set the employer up for principal.com access to view plan and policy information
- Business Plan Submission Checklist (DD849R)—provides Principal® the intent of the plan so service can be customized to support it. Also shares the financial professional’s preferences for ongoing plan management
