DISCLAIMERS

Final expense life insurance can be used by the beneficiary designated as needed rather than being limited to specific funeral services and providers. Final expense life policies will have a lower face value than most traditional term or whole life policies as they are intended for a specific purpose of covering those final costs rather than providing comprehensive support for surviving family members. This type of policy generally doesn’t require a medical exam, but premiums will be higher the older you are, and some benefit payouts may be limited during the first few years of coverage for those with significant health issues. Reducing or skipping premium payments will impact the amount of interest paid and may impact how long the policy lasts. Accessing the cash value of a policy will reduce the available cash surrender value and the death benefit. Policy guarantees are based upon the claims-paying ability of the issuing life insurance company.

Fixed Indexed Annuities (FIAs) do not involve investments in an index. The index performance used to calculate credited interest typically does not include dividends. Some FIAs involve the use of multiple indexes. Methodologies for crediting interest differ among FIA products (e.g., point to point, high water mark, annual resets, single year, multi-year, etc.). Interest crediting methodologies may include caps, participation rates, spreads, margins, or fees that may change from time to time depending on the product.

Interest and other guarantees in an annuity are subject to the claims-paying ability and financial strength of the insurance carrier that issues the product. Annuities are long-term vehicles. Many have surrender charges over many years, and withdrawals from an annuity prior to age 59 ½ may be subject to a 10% tax penalty.

This is not a Long-Term Care policy. This policy may not cover all of your medical or health care expenses. This policy should not be purchased as a substitute for major medical coverage, Medicare, Medicare Supplement, or Medicare related health plans. Premiums may increase upon renewal. This policy may not cover all costs associated with short term recovery care incurred by you during the period of care. Increase in health care costs may reduce the value of this policy between the purchase date and the date you become eligible for benefits.

Accessing the cash value of a policy will reduce the available cash surrender value and the death benefit. Any loans from a policy’s cash value are subject to interest and the balance is deducted from your death benefit. A policy owner does not have the ability to make unlimited payments into the policy. If too much is paid into the policy, it will become a Modified Endowment Contract (MEC) and withdrawals and loans will be taxable. Policy Exclusions/Limitations: The death benefit will not be paid if the insured’s death results from suicide, while sane or insane, within the contestability period. Instead, the benefit will pay the sum of the premiums paid since issue, less any loan and loan interest due and any withdrawals. Exclusions and limitations may vary by state and will vary by policy. Life insurance is not a bank deposit, is not federally insured, may involve risk, and may lose value. All guarantees are based on the claims paying ability of the life insurance company.
