For insurance funded contracts, how long does a seller have to remit payments to the insurer?

For insurance-funded contracts, the seller is required to remit payments to the insurer within 30 days of receipt. This timeframe is established to ensure timely processing and to maintain the integrity of the insurance funding arrangement. Adhering to this period is essential as it helps prevent lapses in coverage and ensures that the funds are available when needed for fulfilling the contract stipulations, such as covering funeral expenses. Additionally, this requirement reflects the regulatory standards set forth to protect consumers and maintain proper operational practices within the funeral industry.

Understanding this requirement is crucial for funeral directors to avoid potential penalties or compliance issues that might arise from delayed remittances.
