• A tax-free death benefit, paid immediately to your beneficiary without passing through probate.
• A source of supplemental retirement income
• Tax-deferred accumulation of cash values
• Accelerated death benefit. This benefit provides a way to receive a portion of your death benefit prior to your death, if you become terminally ill.

Tax Notes: Proceeds from an insurance policy paid because of the death of the insured are generally excludable from the beneficiary's gross income for tax purposes. (IRC Sec. 101(a)(1).) Income and growth on accumulated cash values have been held by the Tax Court to be generally taxable only upon withdrawal. (IRC Sec. 72.). Policy loans from life insurance polices (assumes non-modified endowment contract) generally are not treated as distributions or subject to income tax (IRC Sec. 7702). Consult your tax adviser or attorney on your specific situation.

State Specific Information: A two-year suicide provision is included in policies (one year in Colorado and North Dakota). If a policyholder commits suicide during the first two policy years, only a refund of premiums will be made. (Missouri requires coverage for acts of suicide, unless it can be proven that the insured intended suicide at the time the application was completed).

The foregoing is neither a contract nor an offer to contract, but is a general description of benefits available under a policy providing the benefits outlined. The exact provisions, terms and conditions of the contract are set forth in detail in any such policy as may be issued.
