Steps to renew
Your guide to policy renewals

The process is straightforward, whether you’re renewing on- or offline. Just follow our step-by-step guide.

  1. 1

    Receive your policy renewal invitation

    We’ll send you a renewal invitation 90 days before the renewal date (120 days for a flex or voluntary policy). If you don’t receive the invitation, please contact us.

  2. 2

    Check if you can renew your policy online

    Certain policies can be renewed, on their renewal date, through our digital portal, UnumOnline. If you’re not already registered, why not sign up now? Find out more and get started. 

  3. 3

    Update employee data

    You can use our handy Member Data Template to update information about the policy members. Email the completed spreadsheet to the address in your policy renewal invitation. If you are renewing your policy on UnumOnline, you can upload the data to the portal. This is a good time to remind your client that some employees may require medical underwriting.

  4. 4

    Making payment

    If your customers pay by Direct Debit, we’ll continue to take the regular payments until we receive your updated data. Once we have the correct data, we’ll send you a new invoice and the payments will be adjusted accordingly. All other payment information will be on your invoice.
