Brokers may enter policy and transaction data, upload supporting documentation into SLIP, and then submit to the SLA. SLIP provides features that check the entered data for missing fields and validate certain business rules. The system identifies any such conditions as “Alerts” within SLIP.
A SLIP Alert is a system-generated indication that there is a known problem with a particular unsubmitted transaction, that if submitted to the SLA would cause a Tag. Each SLIP Alert directly relates to an existing Tag that the SLA could assign to a transaction. If a condition exists on an unsubmitted transaction where it would receive a Tag if reviewed by the SLA, then SLIP raises an Alert, highlights the offending area, and provides guidance to resolve the issue.
The SLIP Alert feature has been available to Brokers since SLIP’s inception. Historically, the feature has been a filing “guideline” to notify Brokers of issues, but allowed Brokers to override the Alerts and continue with submission. SLIP now prevents submission for any transaction that has an identifiable Alert condition and removes the option to “Ignore Alerts” when submitting SLIP data to the SLA. This will enforce more accurate and complete data in the system and streamline the filing process.
