WESTLAKE VILLAGE, CA – July 15, 2025 - First Benefits Underwriters,LLC, a managing general agency and subsidiary of IDC Management, has implemented Input 1’s digital payment model to offer policyholders a faster, more convenient way to pay. The partnership reflects First Benefits’ commitment to simplifying premium collection while maintaining compliance and reducing the burden on internal teams.
