Inflation Guard Option

Incontestability

The validity of any amount of insurance which has been in force for two years during your lifetime will not be contested except for non-payment of premium.

Accelerated Death Benefit

The Accelerated Death Benefit has been designed to provide terminally ill insureds the option to have a portion of their life insurance benefit paid while they are still alive. You are then free to use that money any way you choose. This benefit has been added to the Term Life Plan to help enhance your financial security. It can be used to help pay for the high cost of medical and hospital care or for personal expenses.

If you qualify, the Insurance Company will pay you, in lump sum, 50% of the benefit that would be in force 12 months from the date of your request. Full premiums continue to be payable. The amount of insurance payable upon your death will be reduced by the amount of the Accelerated Death Benefit previously paid.
