Do my benefits reduce as I get older?
Once you have enrolled, you are locked into your premium as well as your coverage amount. These amounts do not automatically increase or decrease. If you wish to enroll in additional coverage, your premium will match that of what you are enrolling in. With additional questions, feel free to contact us!
How do I pay my insurance premium?
Through Forrester Benefits, the broker of our Universal Life plan, you are able to enroll in an autodraft of payments. For any additional questions, Contact us.
How does the Long-Term Care rider affect my plan?
After you are qualified for Long Term Care Services, benefit payments from the LTC rider are deducted from the initial death benefit to cover your care. Through the Benefit Restoration Rider, the entirety of the death benefit value is restored equal to the policy’s one-time face value death benefit.
This means that if you get sick and can’t take care of yourself, part of the face value of your life insurance plan will be distributed to you to cover the associated costs. Through the restoration rider, the amount taken from your life insurance plan will be restored to its initial value.
