Study Notes
Interest on Dividends
- Interest earned on dividends is taxable.
- Dividends themselves are not taxable.
Nonforfeiture Options
- Cash Surrender allows policyholders to receive cash value upon policy termination.
- Accumulation at Interest is not a Nonforfeiture Option, it refers to dividends accumulating interest.
- If a policy lapses due to non-payment, nonforfeiture values are returned to the policyowner.
Settlement Options
- Can be used when the insured dies or if they are alive at the policy's endowment date.
- Life Income Only guarantees payment for the lifetime of the designated beneficiary.
- Fixed Amount pays benefits at a specified dollar amount until benefits are exhausted.
- The Fixed Period pays benefits over a specified duration.
Cash Surrender Value
- This value is available when the policy is terminated by the owner.
- It signifies the monetary return an owner can receive from a lapsed or surrendered policy.
Dividend Options
- Reduced Paid-Up is a Nonforfeiture Option, not a Dividend Option.
- Paid-Up Additions, Paid in Cash, and Accumulate at Interest are classified as Dividend Options.
- Premium Reduction allows dividends to be applied towards future premiums.
Additional Concepts
- Options in life insurance policies help establish continuity in life insurance interpretations.
- The Acceleration of Endowment option shortens the period until the policy matures, using dividends to achieve this.
