Whose email address may the agent enter into the applicant information section of LEAN enrollment application?

Whose email address may the agent enter into the applicant information section of LEAN enrollment application?

• A. Only the consumer's email (or leave it blank).
• B. The agent's email address.
• C. The plan sponsor's email address.
• D. Any email address provided by the consumer.

Answer: (B)

In LEAN enrollment applications, the contact information you enter in the applicant section is there to identify who is assisting with the enrollment and to provide a clear point of contact for processing and any follow-up. Entering the agent’s email address serves this purpose because it ties the submission to the licensed representative who facilitated the enrollment, enabling proper tracking, communication, and accountability. Using the consumer’s email would blur who is responsible for the submission and could raise privacy or consent issues, while the plan sponsor’s email isn’t the appropriate contact for individual enrollment communications. Allowing any consumer-provided email could undermine supervisory oversight and the ability to verify who actually submitted the application.
