PLAN FEATURES

Pay Less If You’re a Qualified Non-user of Tobacco
Tobacco non-users meeting the highest underwriting standards may qualify for the "Super Preferred" (the Plan’s best) rates that follow. Other tobacco non-users may qualify for "Preferred" rates.

 

Continuing Insurance After the 10–Year Term Ends
Premiums are designed to remain level for the first 10 years of coverage*. At the end of the 10–year period, you may elect to reapply for 10–year level term rates then in effect for a subsequent 10–year period, provided the insured person is age 70 or under and otherwise eligible. If your application for a subsequent 10–year term of level rates is approved by the insurer, your premium contribution will be based on your age, health and tobacco–use status at the time coverage becomes effective and remain level for a new 10–year term.*

 

If you and your spouse** are not approved for a subsequent 10–year term of level rates, or you do not apply for a subsequent 10–year term, coverage will continue in force on a non–level rate basis, under which premium contributions increase as the insured ages in 5-year age bands.

 

Keep Your Cost Manageable

Your Cost
