I'm having problems logging in to my Personal Folder with my user name and password. Can you please help me?
There are several reasons you may be experiencing log-in
issues:
- Last year we made several user and security enhancements to the personal folder. Unfortunately, if you created a Personal Folder before February 2003 and your chosen password was fewer than six characters or greater than 12 characters, you'll need to create a new Personal Folder to take advantage of these enhancements.
- In most cases customers are inputting their Social Security
Number and PIN in the left hand navigation area designated for
the Personal Folder, when in fact you should be visiting the Customer
Service Page or using the links on the front page of the
site (and elsewhere) to the Virtual Service Center or Account
Summary applications. These areas will provide you with the ability to register for access to your account/policy information by creating a user name and password, as well as a secret question and answer.
- Another reason a visitor may face issues logging into the
Personal Folder area located on the left navigation bar is because
this login is case sensitive which means that you must input both
your user name and password exactly as you did when you first
created your Personal Folder or as it was provided to you by an
agent. If this fails, you'll need to create a totally new personal folder with a different user name and password by clicking here.
- And finally the other common issue is that visitors are
confusing the Personal Folder with the Virtual Service Center or
Account Summary applications. But to obtain direct access
to your information you need to visit the Customer
Service Page, Virtual Service Center or Account
Summary applications.

I've lost my log in
information; can someone help me?
If you have lost your user information for the Personal
Folder login located on the left navigation bar, you can
simply create
a new Personal Folder by clicking
here. (Please keep in mind the personal folder isn't a
direct access point to your policy/account information) If an
agent created a Personal Folder for you, then you can contact
the agent and they will be able to reset your user
information.
-
Where do I log in to view my
account information?
To log in to view your account/policy information visit the Customer
Service Page or Account
Summary.
-
How do I update
my address?
If you have already completed the registration process, you can visit the Virtual Service Center to change your address, Otherwise click here to contact a service rep to update your address.
-
How do I make a payment
online?
We don't currently offer an online payment option; however,
we do have a Check-O-Matic payment option in which premiums are paid monthly by deducting the money directly from a
policy owner's bank account. This can be initiated by filling out a
form with the necessary information and returning it to the Service
Center address.
Any time it becomes necessary to change your bank information,
you can fill out a new form previously obtained from the Service Center with the necessary information and return it to the Service Center.
