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.
