3. If you qualify for an Introductory (PTAS) Contract, you will preview an agent career with New York Life as an independent contractor while continuing to work at your current job, with limited exceptions. PTAS Agents are not eligible for benefits. During this preview period of up to six months, any sales you make will continue to accrue until you either make enough sales to become a full-time agent under a Training Allowance Subsidy (TAS) Contract or the passage of six months, whichever is earlier. If you do not become a full-time agent, first-year commissions on any sales you made will be paid to you in a lump sum at the end of your PTAS contract period. If you become a full-time agent under a TAS Contract, you will be credited with the commissions you accrued under the Introductory Contract.

Overall compensation includes positive income credits for commissions based on actual sales and certain allowances or incentives, if eligible, based upon persistency and production, as well as debits associated with commission reversals, authorized expenses, and other items.
Not all debits are included in the average income figures above. Each credit and debit posted to the Agent's Ledger is part of determining the agent's compensation and no individual credit posted to the ledger is earned until the ledger reconciliation process is complete. Agents receive payments equal to the positive balance on the Agent's Ledger after the credits and debits are applied, except that financial professionals operating under an Introductory (PTAS) Contract who fail to sell enough to trigger a fulltime agent’s contract will be paid first year commissions on any sales made in a lump sum at the end of their PTAS Contract period.
