The first deduction may not occur on the day you selected. We will send you a confirmation letter notifying you before the first deduction occurs. Thereafter, a draft will be sent on the specific day of the month you requested account deductions. If no draft day is designated, we will determine the date deductions will be sent based on the policy due date. Actual deduction from your account will occur 2 business days after the draft is sent, or longer if a holiday. Ex: you selected the 1st of the month for account deductions; if the 1st falls on a weekend, we will send the draft on the next business day, and the deduction will occur 2 business days later.
