ACORD FORMS With your Big I Membership Starting Jan. 1, 2020 Big I members with annual P&C gross revenue of less than $50 million will receive a complimentary license to use ACORD forms.
On Jan. 1, 2020, ACORD began charging all users of ACORD forms an End User License (EUL) fee including agents, brokers, and carriers. Currently, most agents access ACORD forms via their agency management systems or other ACORD-authorized third-party forms redistributors. The Big 'I' has negotiated an agreement with ACORD, wherein Big 'I' will cover the cost of the End User Licenses when accessing via a management system or redistributor, or provide an EUL discount when accessing directly through ACORD Advantage Plus Program. The result of this agreement is that your agency will not have to pay the End User License fee to ACORD, and agents will experience no change in your management system workflow or use of ACORD forms beginning on Jan. 1, 2020 - with the exception of an initial, and then annual, validation to confirm Big 'I' membership. This will be executed via a clickthrough acceptance. Learn more.......... ACORD FORMS with your PIA Membership
ACORD requires all users of ACORD Forms, including independent agents, to obtain an ACORD Forms End User License, regardless of how the forms are accessed. Independent agencies that are not participants in an eligible ACORD Forms program must typically purchase a paid End User License. However, PIA is happy to announce that we have entered into an agreement with ACORD that allows eligible PIA-member agencies to execute their annual license for free, or to participate in ACORD’s Advantage Plus Program at a reduced rate.
