death Benefit options

Option A - Pays the face amount of the policy and provides a level death benefit. As the cash value increases, the company's risk decreases. A universal life policy must include an amount at risk. If the cash value approaches the face amount, the death benefit must increase so as to provide for this amount at risk. This minimum separation between the cash value and the death benefit is called the "risk corridor." This corridor of insurance is automatic and does not require insurability. This prevents the policy from maturing too early. •Option B - Pays the face amount stated in the contract which is level term, plus any cash values accumulated over the years. This provides for an increasing death benefit. The mortality charge for Option B is greater than Option A. Individuals purchasing Option A will benefit from larger cash value accumulations while individuals purchasing Option B will benefit from greater death benefits.
