Death Benefits
We pay a death benefit when the insured person on an insurance coverage dies. The death benefit
is equal to the amount of insurance provided by the insurance coverage plus the account value on
the day the insured person dies.
Your amount of insurance appears in your Policy summary.
If the account value is negative on the day an insured person dies, we reduce the death benefit by
the amount required to increase the account value to zero as of the date of death.
Withdrawals, changes to your planned deposits and investment returns can affect your death
benefit.
Surrender charges do not apply if your policy ends due to the death of the insured person.
If the account value is negative on the day the insured person dies, we reduce the amount of the
payment by the amount required to increase the account value to zero as of the date of death.
Beneficiaries
Your rights as a policy owner include the right to name and change your beneficiary or
beneficiaries. When a death benefit is payable, we pay that death benefit to each beneficiary
according to your instructions. If you haven't named a beneficiary, we pay the death benefit
described above to you or to your estate.
You can change a beneficiary at any time before an insured person's death, as long as the change
is allowed by law. However, if you have named an irrevocable beneficiary, you can't make a
change without that beneficiary's consent.
Bereavement counseling assistance
When an insured person dies and we pay a death benefit, we provide bereavement counseling
assistance.
We reimburse up to a total of $1,000 of counseling expenses, as described in our administrative
rules.
Fraudulent misrepresentation
At any time, we have the right to void your policy or any insurance or rider coverages, or
deny a claim, if you or one of the insured people has fraudulently misrepresented a material fact
by not disclosing it or by stating it incorrectly in any application, or in any medical examination,
or in any other information we have used as evidence of insurability or proof of claim.
Incontestability clause
Except for non-payment of premiums or any other grounds recognized by law and
jurisprudence, the Insurer cannot contest the validity of this Policy after it has been in force for
two (2) years from the Policy Effectivity Date or date of approval of last reinstatement, whichever
date is later. Except for non-payment of premiums or any other grounds recognized by law and
jurisprudence, the Insurer cannot contest the validity of insurance on any Member after it has been
in force for two (2) years from the effective date.
Rights of Policy Owner
You own all the rights to this policy. The written approval of all irrevocable beneficiaries
must be obtained to exercise certain rights. In case of your death before the insured, all the rights
will be passed on to any contingent owner or, if there is no contingent owner, to the insured.
Ownership
As long as the Insured is alive, you are the owner of your Insurance Contract, and only you can
ask the Insurer to make changes to it, without the need of the beneficiary consent, irrevocable or
not. If you are a natural person and you are not the insured, your estate will become the owner of
your Insurance Contract if you die, unless you have designated a substitute owner. You can
designate a substitute owner at any time by submitting a written request to us.

Policyholder to receive dividends from the surplus or profit declared by the Insurer.

of insurance policy.
