Living Benefits What is it? Life Insurance With The Lifetime Income Benefit Rider Why should you care? TC 80418(0614)3 For Agent Use Only – Not For Use With The Public How does it work?
Living Benefits Life Insurance With The Lifetime Income Benefit Rider Tax-Free Income For Life! • Benefit payments will continue as fixed Net Cost loans. • Because policy loans are tax-free, once qualifications are met, LIBR payments are guaranteed to continue tax-free for life. The Lifetime Income Benefit Rider provides a benefit for the life of the insured if certain conditions are met, including but not limited to the insured’s attained age being between 60 and 85, and that the policy has been inforce at least 10 years (15 years for LSW Secure. Plus Provider). Insufficient policy values or outstanding policy loans may also restrict exercising the rider. Exercising the rider and receiving an income benefit will reduce the policy’s cash value and death benefit and may terminate other riders or reduce their benefits. Except in the case of a Modified Endowment Contract (MEC), withdrawals up to the basis paid into the contract and loans thereafter will not create an immediate taxable event, but substantial tax ramifications could result upon contract lapse or surrender. All benefit payments will be taxable on MECs. TC 80420(0614)3 For Agent Use Only – Not For Use With The Public
