Connect to Coverage – Licensing & Regulatory Information
This Licensing & Regulatory Information page (“Licensing Page”) describes the licensing status, agent requirements, and regulatory disclosures applicable to Connect to Coverage. By interacting with our website or receiving insurance-related communications, you acknowledge the information provided below.
1. Licensing Overview
Connect to Coverage operates as an insurance marketing and lead generation platform that connects consumers with licensed life insurance agents and carriers. Our agents are independently licensed in the states where insurance services are offered. All recommendations, quotes, and policy sales are completed exclusively by state-licensed agents who meet the regulatory requirements of their resident and non-resident states.
Connect to Coverage itself is not an insurance carrier, and does not underwrite, bind, or issue insurance policies. All insurance products are provided by state-licensed carriers.
2. Licensed Agents & State Authorization
Life insurance products offered through Connect to Coverage are distributed only through insurance professionals who hold active resident or non-resident licenses in the state where the consumer resides. Each agent is responsible for maintaining their own state licensing, continuing education requirements, carrier appointments, and compliance with state insurance departments.
Before presenting policy options, completing applications, or providing personalized recommendations, all agents must confirm licensure within your state of residence. You may request verification of an agent’s license at any time.
3. Carrier Appointments
Agents may be appointed with multiple life insurance carriers, including but not limited to companies that offer Term Life, Whole Life, Universal Life, and Final Expense policies. Carrier appointment status may vary by state.
Only agents who are appointed and authorized by a carrier may present, sell, or service that carrier’s products.
All underwriting decisions and policy approvals are the sole responsibility of the insurance carrier.
4. Availability of Products by State
Insurance product availability varies depending on the state in which you reside. Certain policy types, riders, or underwriting options may not be available in all states due to regulatory restrictions.
Connect to Coverage makes every effort to ensure accurate state-by-state product availability. However, regulations may change, and certain carriers may withdraw or modify offerings without notice.
Policy offerings are always subject to:
-
State Insurance Department rules
-
Carrier underwriting guidelines
-
Licensing and appointment requirements

6. Compensation Disclosure

This compensation does not increase your premiums or affect your policy pricing in any way.
