(Residents of Maryland and North Carolina: Any reference to "performing normal activities of a person in good health of like age" is replaced by the requirement that the health status of any proposed insured person remain the same as stated in your application).

(Note: Smokers may only qualify for "Standard" rates.) Upon approval of your application, you will be notified of the rate classification for each approved person.

Your Coverage Can Continue After the Initial 10 Year Term

Premiums are guaranteed to remain level for the first 10 years of coverage. Then, if still eligible, you may reapply for the 10-year level rates in effect for a subsequent 10-year term; rates for the subsequent term would be determined based on your then current age, health, and smoking status and guaranteed for 10 years. If you're not approved for a subsequent 10-year term of guaranteed rates, or do not apply for a subsequent 10-year term, coverage will continue in force on a non-guaranteed rate basis with increasing premiums as the insured ages. Please call the Administrator at 800-337-3140 for details.
