Welcome to WFG-kipedia!

WFG's underwriting, searching and closing quick reference.

You can log in with the little person icon at the top right.



WFG-kipedia is a work in progress. Each state has its own little variations and different rules and we're attempting to compile those into both a quick reference and a more detailed reference here. We know it it not complete and on some points contains inaccuracies. For that reason, its use is limited to WFG employees. While we hope it will eventually improve to the point that it can become a valuable resource for our agents, but it's not there yet. So please don't share your access credentials, and any use by persons who are not employees of WFG is strictly forbidden.

In the meantime, this works very much like "Wikipedia" -- if you know the right answer to something that is missing, add it. If you have discovered some unusual practice, law or rule in a state and think your co-workers would benefit from knowing it, please take a minute to add it. This system does track all changes, and you do need to be logged in to make changes. (the little person figure in the upper right).


Thanks for helping us make this another valuable WFG resource!
