  • Can I use my benefits if I’m terminally ill?

    None of us likes to think about these things, but it’s important that you can also tap into your life insurance death benefit early if you’re ever diagnosed with a terminal illness. That benefit could really help you and your family during a difficult time. An advance payment of your life insurance benefits is available if you are diagnosed with a terminal illness with a life expectancy of 12 months or less.

     

    You can request payment up to 50% percent of your benefit amount, up to a maximum of $150,000. Advance payment permanently reduces the death benefit. Premiums must continue to be paid on the remaining benefit amount after an advanced payment.
