What the 06/20/2007 Date Means for Hartford Life and Annuity Policies
The date 06/20/2007 on a Hartford Life and Annuity insurance policy typically marks the contract issue or a material change, such as a rider attachment or a new annuity start. That date anchors the policy's age, surrender-charge schedule, and applicable regulatory treatment. When you request a PDF of the policy, verify that the date printed on the cover and in the contract details match the internal date fields; mismatches can signal a missing endorsement or a scanned copy with an incorrect file date.

Why the Broker-Dealer Layer Matters
If the policy was placed through a broker-dealer, the transaction trail includes the firm's suitability documentation, the signed application, and any disclosure statements. For a Hartford Life and Annuity product, the broker-dealer should hold the paper trail that connects the 06/20/2007 date to the specific contract version sold. Without that link, beneficiaries or policyowners may face delays when proving ownership or contesting a claim.
What to Verify in the PDF
When you open the policy PDF, focus on these elements:
- Policy number and contract form name
- Effective date and issue date
- Broker-dealer name and CRD number
- Agent or producer who signed the application
- Riders or amendments attached after 06/20/2007
- Any state-specific disclosures or riders
Cross-check the agent's name against FINRA BrokerCheck. If the broker-dealer has changed names, merged, or been dissolved, the successor firm or the regulatory record may hold the original filing.
Common Issues and Where to Look for Help
Older Hartford Life and Annuity contracts sometimes involve misprinted dates on the PDF, missing pages from the scan, or unclear images of signatures. If the PDF is incomplete, request the original paper file from the broker-dealer's records department or from Hartford itself. For contract interpretation, the Hartford customer service line can confirm the policy status tied to the 06/20/2007 date, while state insurance departments can verify the broker-dealer's licensing history at the time of sale.
