Get Started using Easy Upload

Overview

The Easy Upload app is available to all life & health policy holders, annuity contract holders, and insurance agents/producers with a relationship to the ManhattanLife companies. Any device with a camera, an internet connection, and a modern browser can run it.

Using it is a simple as logging in, scanning some documents, entering detail about the documents, and finally uploading them to ManhattanLife. Follow the tabs above to learn more about each step.

When you are ready to install, you will find links to the Apple Store or the Google Play Store on the home page.

Options for Logging In

When the app first comes up, you will be asked to identify your role as a user (click images to enlarge):

Mobile App Screen

Uploading as a Policy/Contract Holder or Their Representative

Mobile App Screen

This option does not require a website registration. And this option is not available for Annuity Producers (please use the Agent/Producer login option instead).

Two pieces of information are required:

  • Policy/Contract Number - This is the actual policy/contract number for the life & health insurance policy or annuity contract and should not include any other numbers.
    • *IMPORTANT*: Annuity contract numbers may have spaces in them. Make sure you enter the entire contract number including any spaces.
  • Policy/Contract Zip Code - This should be from the life & health insurance policy owner's or payor's address, or the annuity contract owner address. Not an Agent/Producer zip code.

Uploading as an Agent/Producer

Mobile App Screen

Uploading as an insurance agent or annuity producer requires log in credentials. These are the same credentials you use for the Life & Health Resource Center (ARC) and/or Annuity Producer Center (APC). website:

  • Username - This is your website username.
  • Password - This is your website password.

If you have trouble logging in with these credentials on the app, go to website's link above to resolve the issue by resetting your password or registering.

View Upload History

After logging in, you will see the "hamburger" menu on the top right (more about that on the next tab). You can touch "View History" there to bring up the page that will list your last 50 uploads for review.

Permissions to Use the Camera

By default, applications are required to ask the user if it is okay to use the camera. Easy Upload needs camera access to scan and upload insurance documents. This prompt, or one like it, will be shown once you start to scan. Always answer "Allow", "Yes", or "OK" to this prompt when running Easy Upload since the application will not function properly without using the camera:

Resetting Permissions

Sometimes concientious users will automatically or accidentally click "NO" or "Don't Allow" to keep their phones safe, etc. In this case the user can go into settings to reset these camera permission so that Easy Upload will work. Here are the steps for resetting this permission:

If You Are an Agent AND a Producer

If you've logged in as an agent/producer, it is possible that your user account is registered to sell both insurance policies and annuity contracts. If this is the case, you will be presented with a checkbox to choose between uploading insurance or annuity related documents.

Touch the "SCAN +" button to create a new page. When the scanner opens, the camera will look for a document to highlight. Once found, touch the blue button to snap the picture.

For best results, use these tips:

  • Scan in a brightly lit area

  • Away from any table edges
  • Check focus before snapping
  • Check blue rectangle before snapping
  • If nothing found, just scan again

The page will look a bit different depending on whether you are uploading as a policy/contract holder or representative or an agent/producer, and whether you are uploading policy/contract documents or life & health enrollment applications.
