The fields in this field group are as follows:

 

Field

Description

Type

 

Mnemonic: INTYPC

Use this field to indicate the type of insurance policy being used on the customer loan account. See below for more information.

 

Description

 

Mnemonic: INDESC

Use this field to indicate a brief description of the selected insurance policy. This field is required for payoff purposes.

Coverage Code

 

Mnemonic: INCOV

Use this field to indicate the coverage code for the Type (see above) and company of the selected insurance policy.

 

Coverage codes are specific to each individual insurance company. The possible selections in this field depend on the indicated Type. New coverage codes for insurance companies can be set up on the Loans > System Setup Screens > Insurance Coverage Codes screen.

 

This field can be included in GOLDWriter reports.

Individual/Joint

 

Mnemonic: INJORI

Use this field to indicate whether the selected insurance policy is for joint persons or an individual. "C-Co-borrower" is another choice, which indicates a co-borrower purchased the involuntary unemployment (IUI) insurance policy.

Original Premium

 

Mnemonic: INOBAL

Use this field to indicate the add-on insurance premium amount on the customer loan account. This field is used in calculating the Earned and Unearned premium amounts (see below).

 

When a loan is originated and an insurance policy purchased, the system divides this amount by the insurance policy term and adds the amount to the P/I Constant. For example, if the account owner purchased GAP insurance of $240 (with a policy term of 12 months) at the time the loan was originated, the system would divide 240 by 12 to get $20. If the P/I Constant was $200, the system would add $20/month until the insurance term was over, making the P/I Constant $220 per month.

 

paperclipnote

Note: If the policy type requires Taxes and/or Finance charges, this field is increased by those amounts, which also causes the P/I Constant to increase.

Policy/Certificate Number

 

Mnemonic: INPLCY

Use this field to indicate the policy or certificate number for the selected insurance policy.

Earned Premium

 

Mnemonic: INWAAMT

Use this field to indicate the amount of the original premium that has been collected since the date the selected insurance policy was opened.

 

This field is typically calculated with monthly loan payments. This value is the difference between the Original Premium (see above) and Unearned Premium (see below) amounts. In order for this field to properly calculate, the following fields in this field group must contain information: Original Premium, Policy Term, Policy Effective Date, and Amortization Method.

Amortization Method

 

Mnemonic: INAMOR

Use this field to indicate the method used for refunding any premium amount back to the customer due to an early cancellation of the selected insurance policy (or early payoff). See Amortization Methods for more information.

Mnemonic: INWUAMT

This field is calculated by the system each time the screen is accessed. In order for this field to properly calculate, the following fields in this field group must contain information: Original Premium, Policy Term, Policy Effective Date, and Amortization Method.

 

This amount field appears on the Adjustments tab of the Loans  > Payoff screen and is subtracted from the payoff amount. When the Payoff transaction is processed, this amount will be sent as a debit to the Unearned Interest (Payoff/Force Place Ins) General Ledger account set up on the GOLD Services > General Ledger > GL Account By Loan Type screen. Note: This field will only appear on the Payoff screen if information is entered in the Description field above.

Amortization Start Date

 

Mnemonic: INDLAC

Use this field to indicate the date amortization of the selected insurance policy begins. This is usually the beginning date of the insurance policy. The actual amortization period begins with this date and ends with a date that is calculated by adding the months in the Policy Term field above to the date in the Policy Effective Date field above.

 

This is a required field when calculating a refund based on the Amortization Method.

Min Refund Amount

 

Mnemonic: INMINR

Use this field to indicate the minimum refund amount your institution is required to issue the customer if the loan pays off early or is canceled. For example, if "10" is entered in this field, and the customer is due $5 for a refund, no refund is issued to the customer.

 

The amount in the Unearned Premium field above is compared against the amount in this field to determine whether the refund is under the minimum refund amount regulated by state law. If the Unearned Premium is equal to or above the value in this field, it is refunded to the customer. If the Unearned Premium is below the the value in this field, the Unearned Premium amount is then included in the Earned Premium (see above).
