Life Insurance
Life insurance policies contain fees and expenses, including cost of insurance, administrative fees, premium loads, surrender charges and other charges, that will impact your policy. Under Section 101(j) of the Internal Revenue Code, the death benefit of an employer-owned life insurance contract may not be completely federal income tax-free if certain notice and consent rules and other requirements are not fulfilled. In addition, death proceeds may be included in your estate for estate tax purposes. You should consult your tax advisor. 1Both loans and withdrawals from a permanent life insurance policy may be subject to penalties and fees and, along with any accrued loan interest, will reduce the policy's Account Value and Death Benefit. Depending upon the performance of a VUL policy's investment choices, the Account Value may be worth more or less than the original amount invested in the policy. Assuming a policy is not a Modified Endowment Contract (MEC), loans are free from current Federal taxation and withdrawals are taxed only to the extent that they exceed the policyowner's basis in the policy. Distributions from MECs are subject to Federal income tax to the extent of the gain in the policy and taxable distributions are subject to a 10% additional tax, with certain exceptions.

Term Life Term life insurance is basic life insurance coverage that provides protection for a specific period of time ('term'). It is a suitable life insurance product if you need short-term death benefit protection and have temporary financial obligations, such as mortgage payments, car payments, or short-term debts. Coverage provides lower premiums for people who cannot afford permanent life insurance premiums. Should you decide you want permanent life insurance, you can convert your policy later on (within certain parameters).
1The death benefit may be included in your estate for federal estate tax purposes. All guarantees within the policy are based on the claims-paying ability of the issuing company
