Initiate Automatic Payment Plan
Policy must be in a current status of ACTIVE or EXPIRED for option to be available:
Step 1: Click ‘INITIATE AUTOPAY’ button.

If different payment date is desired, see: DEFER AUTOMATIC PAYMENT PLAN section.

Defer Automatic Payment Plan
Automatic payments may be deferred to a new date, up to 60 days from the expiration date.
AL, KS, NV: Policy must have active status and current term. Deferment must be made on or before the original due date. Defer is not available when status or term is expired.

Step 1: Click ‘DEFER’ button.
Step 2: Select new date using date picker:
Step 3: Click ‘SAVE’.
Automatic payment will be processed for new payment date.
KNOWN ISSUE:
If a one-time renewal payment is made on a policy where the automatic payment has been deferred, the ‘Next scheduled payment date’ will continue to reflect the deferment date up until the new version’s due date is reached. On the due date, the automatic payment will be processed as expected except the website will reflect the payment receipt date incorrectly as the previous deferment date.
