Commercial lines policyholders who have selected the electronic billing option will be notified via an Electronic Billing Notification email, at the address provided during the sign up process, that their notice is available approximately 20 days prior to the due date. You may also receive another email, if you elected to receive the Account Activity Notification, to notify you when there is any billing activity on your account. 

How do I view my electronic notices?

Electronic notices can be viewed by logging into the Online Billing Service Center website, via the link provided in the email notification, selecting the billing account and accessing the "Account Summary" screen, then choosing the "View Billing Notices" tab.  Only notices created on or after 04/14/2012 will be available for viewing up to a maximum of 30 months notices.

The notices included in the electronic billing option are the account payor’s copy of the premium notice and the EFT withdrawal notice.  You may still receive notices if required by state law. Cancellation notices will continue to be mailed to all required parties.

What happens if the Electronic Billing email notification is returned as undeliverable?

It is your responsibility to update your email address for any changes and to maintain it so it is active and capable of receiving emails including updates to any spam-blocking software so it does not block our emails. However, in the event an email notification is returned as "undeliverable", a letter will be sent indicating we have experienced a problem with the email address or service. You are still responsible to make your payment or have funds available for EFT-Automatic Withdrawals by the due date. The account will remain on the electronic billing option.

The email address for the electronic billing option can be changed by logging into the Online Billing Service Center website. Simply select the billing account(s) to access the "Account Summary" Screen. Then click on the "Account Services" tab, and select "View/Update Electronic Billing Email Address." This change will only update the email address used for the electronic billing process and only applies to the electronic billing notifications generated for this account.

How do I change my email address for my Online Billing Service Center Account?
