Yes. If you are currently appointed with our carriers through another agency, you must request a release and get new appointments through Assurance. We've worked with thousands of agents and our specialized team is here to support you! We'll help you get the information you need for carrier contracting, certifcations, and appointments.

For our full-time, captive agents, all equipment is provided. All independent agents must provide their own equipment.

Absolutely! After you become an active agent, you'll be able to refer friends and colleagues to Assurance.

Note: full-time agents can only refer people to full-time positions and independent agents can only refer people to independent agent opportunities at Assurance.

There are no residuals. Instead, agents focus on volume-based sales from a steady stream of free, inbound, pre-screened leads. Compensation includes guaranteed sales bonuses. This is a non-captive, independent agent position.

When you start selling at Assurance, you will get calls from shoppers across the country. The more state licenses you have, the more calls you can take. If you don't already have 3 state licenses, you must acquire additional licenses during your Assurance onboarding period.

You start earning money when you sell policies on our platform.

Specific to Annual Election Period (AEP), we have a call efficiency plan that pays you during AEP. You also receive the traditional post-AEP payments after AEP. It's like getting paid twice!

Around 4 months — much shorter than the industry average.

There are no traditional benefits available for the independent agent opportunity. We focus on providing advantages, like no-cost resources, for agents on the Assurance platform. Assurance IQ is a subsidiary of Prudential Financial. Contracts are with Assurance, not Prudential.

For full-time agents, however, we do offer a comprehensive benefits package including paid time off, medical, dental, vision, and a 401(k).

For a release to be requested it must be contemporaneous with or following the termination of employment or the termination of the agent’s Master Services Agreement.

1099 agents that voluntarily or involuntarily terminate their Master Services Agreement (“MSA”) with Assurance shall be provided a release within 75 days of their chargeback period expiring or 120 days from the termination of their MSA whichever period is shorter.

1099 Agents that obtain a status with a carrier requiring a release, but never sell a policy on the Assurance platform shall be provided a release within 5 business days of request.

For agents that have switched lines of insurance, the longer period shall apply.

All requests for releases shall be delivered in writing to the Release Department at releases@assurance.com.

Yes, you must already have your resident state license before selling at Assurance and will be asked to provide those details during onboarding. Required licenses include: Health license, additional state licenses (see above), and any annual certifications. Don't have a license to sell insurance? We also offer a full-time opportunity to train to become a licensed Medicare agent.
