This accelerated death benefit makes it easier to deal with the financial burdens a terminal illness can bring by allowing you access to the death benefit early. Receipt of the accelerated death benefits may be taxable and may also affect eligibility for public assistance programs. This benefit automatically comes with your policy, but some restrictions apply. Please call us for details. Not available in all states.

Take your policy with you

Unlike many group life insurance policies, your policy won't be canceled if you change jobs, change your field of employment or cancel an association membership.
