Short Statement: This iteration makes three deregulatory changes to remove rules on the time and manner of beneficiary outreach. The changes are designed to improve the plan decision making process by creating a more convenient, beneficiary-friendly outreach experience and to reduce burden on beneficiaries, plans, and agents/brokers. (1) Eliminate the requirement for a 12-hour delay between an educational and marketing event. (2) Eliminate the 48-hour waiting period required between the Scope of Appointment (SOA) completion and a personal marketing appointment. (3) Eliminate the prohibition of the collection of SOA forms at educational events. Overall, we are removing 2,091 responses, 523 hours, and $46,431, resulting in a total of 4,182 responses, 1,743 hours, and $157,590.

Annual Cost to Federal Government: $12,137
