When does my coverage begin?
   
It depends on how you pay for your coverage. If you are submitting your application:
  • Through the Internet, using a credit card - The earliest your coverage can begin is the day following transmission, provided that all other eligibility criteria have been met. Please note that credit card billing of premiums is optional and you can obtain coverage without using that method of payment.

  • By mail, writing a check - The earliest that your coverage can begin is the day following the US Postal Service postmark, if all other eligibility criteria have been met.

You also have the option of selecting a coverage start date up to 60 days in the future. But please note that the coverage cannot start on the 29th, 30th, or 31st of a month.
