Usage considerations
- If you select the Write-off Custom Fee link and there are no custom fees billed to the policy, the following message will appear:
There are no outstanding custom fees on this policy term to write off.
- If you write off custom fees after a policy is already paid through the term, the amount written off will appear as a credit on the policy.
- If you choose to issue a return premium with the credit, see Manually issue a return premium on a policy with a credit.
- When you waive custom fees, a transaction will be added to the Account History table, and the transaction type will be Waive.
