With guaranteed coverage (provided eligibility requirements are met*), guaranteed premiums and strong cash values offered to members on a guaranteed issue basis, Whole Life LP95 makes the process of selecting and maintaining coverage in force a little simpler.

Whole Life for Your Whole Family

Coverage is available for you and your spouse age 18 to 72, and dependent children and grandchildren age 14 days up to and including age 26. And. . . you do not have to purchase life insurance in order to insure family members!**

Flexible Benefits

You can select the death benefit and cash value components to help meet today’s financial goals.

Affordable Rates

Security Mutual Life offers premium rates that vary according to the benefits you choose. Rates start at $2.00 per week.

Convenient Premium Payment

Premiums are collected simply and easily through deductions. This means no insurance bills to watch for or checks to mail.

Permanent Insurance Protection

Once your insurance application has been approved and deductions have started, the policy is yours to keep by continuing to pay premiums, even if you have a change in health.

Guaranteed Cash Values

Whole Life LP95 contains a guaranteed cash value feature. Payment of the scheduled premiums will produce guaranteed cash values that can be used for any purpose. Cash values can be accessed by policy loan. Please see the loan section of your policy for details.

Dividends

In addition to cash values, Whole Life LP95 is eligible to share in any dividends declared by the Company’s board of directors, provided the policy premiums are paid in full. Dividends are a return of premium and are not taxable as long as the dividends received do not exceed the premiums paid. Policy owner dividends are not guaranteed.

Paid-Up Coverage

Upon retirement, you have the option to elect paid-up coverage in a reduced amount and cease ongoing premium payments.

Check out the extras! Whole Life LP95 not only provides a death benefit but also offers a host of optional supplemental benefits and riders, some of which can provide access to policy values while the insured is living.

Chronic Illness Accelerated Death Benefit Rider

This rider allows access to precious resources should the insured become chronically ill—a time when such resources may be needed most. This living benefit is available on policies insuring the member and/or the member’s spouse, children and grandchildren.

The benefit allows the policy owner to accelerate up to a maximum of 25% of the face amount of the policy each year until a residual death benefit of $5,000 remains.*

Access to early distribution of the death benefit can be requested if the insured suffers from a chronic illness** requiring continuous care for the remainder of his or her life in an eligible facility or at home and (i) is unable to perform two of the six Activities of Daily Living (ADLs)—bathing, continence, dressing, eating, toileting and transferring— due to a loss of functional capacity, or (ii) if he or she has a severe cognitive impairment that requires substantial supervision by another person to protect him or her from threats to health and safety.

There is no separate premium charge to add this rider.

Eligibility requirements apply. Payments made under this rider may be taxable depending on the insured’s circumstances, and anyone applying for benefits should consult with his or her tax advisor.

* Benefit availability may vary by state.

** The Definition of Chronic Illness may vary by state.

It is available on policies insuring the member and/or the member’s spouse, children and grandchildren, with issue age of 14 days up to and including age 72.

20 Year Level Term Insurance Rider

This rider is a cost-effective way to add additional coverage to the permanent base plan. This rider adds term life insurance coverage that will remain level for a period of 20 years or until rider termination as defined in the rider form.

Prior to termination, the policy owner can choose to either reduce the weekly premium to the amount needed to support the base plan of insurance, or convert the coverage to a new permanent plan of life insurance coverage with no health-related questions required. This coverage is available on policies insuring the member and/or the member’s spouse from age 18 up to and including age 50 (age 60 in New York).

An amount of term insurance equal to the coverage selected under the base plan can be added.

* May be converted to the existing Whole Life LP95 policy or comparable life insurance plan then available that uses similar underwriting and issuance criteria.

Dependent Children’s Insurance Benefit Rider

This rider is a cost-effective way to insure all children of the insured. The rider is available on a policy insuring either a member or the member’s spouse from age 18 up to and including age 60. It may be added to the base policy, and provides coverage for all the insured’s unmarried, dependent children age 14 days up to and including age 24.

The policy owner can elect a minimum of $1,000 to a maximum of $25,000 of coverage in $1,000 increments. If the policy owner elects this rider, future born children of the insured will be covered automatically from age 14 days up to the rider anniversary after such child’s 25th birthday with no increase in premium. The weekly premium is $.11 per $1,000 of coverage.

This rider can be converted up to the child’s age of 25 to a permanent policy in an amount not to exceed 5 times the rider benefit or $25,000 (whichever is less) without Evidence of Insurability.

* May be converted to the existing Whole Life LP95 policy or comparable life insurance plan then available that uses similar underwriting and issuance criteria.

Chronic Illness Accelerated Death Benefit Rider:

Policy Form Series IO-9335-NY-WL; ICC15-IO9335-WL; Series IO-9335-WL

If the insured has a chronic illness, a Chronic Illness Benefit becomes available under the terms of the rider. The Chronic Illness Benefit Rider is not long-term care insurance or disability insurance.

Subject to the maximum benefit limit set by Internal Revenue Code for each calendar year. Payment under the Chronic Illness Benefit Rider is intended to qualify for favorable tax treatment under Section 101(g) of the Internal Revenue Code. However, payment made under this rider may be taxable depending upon specific facts and circumstances. Accordingly, the policy owner should consult with his or her tax advisor to determine the tax consequences before requesting the payment of an accelerated benefit under this rider. Receipt of accelerated death benefits may affect eligibility for public assistance programs.

The Chronic Illness Accelerated Death Benefit Rider is attached to a life insurance policy. The rider accelerates the death benefit on account of chronic illness. It is not a health insurance policy or rider providing long-term care insurance subject to the minimum requirements of applicable law. It does not qualify for the New York State Long-Term Care Partnership program or similar programs in other jurisdictions, and is not a Medicare supplement policy or rider.

The Chronic Illness Benefit Rider may not cover all of the costs associated with the chronic illness of the insured. There is no separate premium charge to add this rider. Eligibility requirements apply. A benefit payment results in reduced death benefits and cash values.
