Study Notes
Beneficiaries and Rights
- A revocable beneficiary allows the policy owner to retain all rights of ownership while changing the beneficiary at any time.
- An irrevocable beneficiary cannot be changed without the beneficiary’s consent, restricting the policy owner's rights.
Types of Insurance Contracts
- An annuity is designed for systematic liquidation of accumulated assets through periodic payments, unlike other contracts that may involve indemnity or investment.
Initial Premiums and Policy Delivery
- Upon delivering the life insurance policy, the insurance producer must collect the initial premium and the insured's signed statement of continued good health.
Deductibility of Premium Payments
- Employers can deduct premium payments for group life insurance as an ordinary business expense, beneficial for employee benefits.
Risk Classification and Premiums
- The difference in premiums charged for identical policies can be attributed to risk classification, which assesses the risk level of each applicant.
Family Income Protection
- A Family Income rider provides income to the family for a designated period followed by a lump sum death benefit, adding financial security.
Group Life Conversion Privileges
- Death during the conversion period is covered even if the departing employee opts not to convert their policy, ensuring some protection.
Permanent Protection Policies
- Universal Life is an interest-sensitive form of permanent life insurance, allowing for flexible premium payments and potential cash value growth.
Reinstatement of Policies
- Evidence of insurability is required for reinstating a policy, but collateral assignment to the insurer is not necessary, avoiding extra steps.
Renewable Term Policies
- Renewable Term policies are renewable at the option of the insured, not the insurer, providing assurance for continuing coverage.
Suicide Clause and Death Benefits
- If an insured commits suicide after the expiration of the suicide clause, the insurer is obligated to pay the death benefit, safeguarding beneficiaries.
Continuation of Coverage
- Nonforfeiture Options enable continuation of coverage despite nonpayment of premiums, protecting the policyholder's investment.
Consumer Information Rights
- Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, applicants can question the validity of any consumer information used in underwriting, ensuring transparency.
Variable Whole Life Policy Options
- Variable Whole Life policies are chosen for their potential to earn a higher rate of return on cash value, providing investment opportunities beyond traditional Whole Life policies.
