Level Term

Most common type of term insurance

Death benefit is level for the duration of the term period

Premium is guaranteed to be level for the same duration

Can be renewed for a higher premium after the initial term period, if client meets the renewal guidelines

Conversion possible for same rating as original term policy

Page 11: The Benefits of Term Insurance Policies issued by American General Life Insurance Company (AGL) except in New York, where issued by The United States Life

11

Annual Renewable

Premium is paid for one year of coverage

Policy is guaranteed to be continued each year for a certain number of years– Usually varies from 10-35 year, or to a certain age of the insured

Premiums increase with each renewal period

Eventually, cost becomes prohibitive and would exceed the cost of a permanent policy

Page 12: The Benefits of Term Insurance Policies issued by American General Life Insurance Company (AGL) except in New York, where issued by The United States Life

12

Return of Premium

Returns premium paid during the policy term, minus fees and expenses, if the insured outlives the term duration

Premiums are generally much higher than a level term policy

If policy is terminated early, they sometimes contain step-up provisions that increase the amount returned after each year or after a certain number of years– Example: 10% back after 10 years, 30% back after 15 years, and 100%

back after 30 years

Amount of premium that is returned is received income-tax free

Page 13: The Benefits of Term Insurance Policies issued by American General Life Insurance Company (AGL) except in New York, where issued by The United States Life

13

Decreasing Term

Type of annual renewable policy that provides a death benefit that decreases at a predetermined rate over the life of the policy

The premiums are generally constant throughout the contract

Sometimes referred to as “mortgage insurance” since the policy can be decreased by an amount equal to the remaining balance of your home mortgage

SelectChoiceSM Accelerated Benefit Rider Features*

PLEASE NOTE: The life insurance offered with SelectChoice Accelerated Benefit Rider is not stand-alone long term care insurance, disability income insurance or other insurance designed to cover specific costs associated with an illness or condition. Receiving benefits under the rider will reduce the amounts available for future acceleration under it and any other Accelerated Benefit Rider attached to the policy. It will also reduce the base life insurance benefit and the funds available to supplement retirement or other needs. In some cases, such reductions can result in policy termination. The benefits paid may be less than what is needed to cover all of the costs associated with an illness or condition."

*SelectChoice not available in CA, CT, or MT.

How Does It Work?

You purchases a $250,000 Quality of Life…Insurance product at age 40, which includes the SelectChoice Accelerated Benefit Rider

For an additional premium, you also purchase a 10% Defined Accelerated Benefit

Ten years later you suffer a major heart attack, but the prognosis for recovery is excellent

The medical costs associated with this event are substantial causing you to consider your options. To help cover these expenses, you accelerate the $25,000 Defined Accelerated Benefit for Critical Illness

The remaining death benefit is $225,000 which could also be accelerated under the Flexible Accelerated Benefit

Page 20: The Benefits of Term Insurance Policies issued by American General Life Insurance Company (AGL) except in New York, where issued by The United States Life

20

How Does It Work?

You then file a claim for another $25,000 under the Flexible Accelerated Benefit

AGL determines the benefit and makes an offer based on the severity of your condition and how it will affect your life expectancy

If you accepts this offer, the death benefit will be reduced by $25,000. You will receive less than $25,000 because you are receiving a portion of the death benefit today, rather than at the end of life expectancy (discounting)

In this case, you received an offer from AGL for an amount of $11,222*. You could elect to take all, part or none of the offer

You decide to take the $11,222* today and now have a remaining death benefit is $200,000

*Amount is hypothetical and actual payment will vary be individual case.

The maximum amount of life insurance death benefits that may be accelerated as to an Insured Person under all accelerated benefit riders is the lesser of the existing amount of such death benefits or a lifetime maximum of $1,500,000. See your policy for details. The insurance company may contest the policy from the date of policy issue, a reinstatement or an increase in coverage, during a period provided by applicable law and described in the policy, for the misstatement or misrepresentation of material fact on the application for such policy, reinstatement, or increase. If an Insured Person dies by suicide within the suicide period provided by applicable law and description in the policy, the death benefit will be limited as provided by the policy. Rider names, benefits and definitions may vary in some states and/or not be available in all states. Neither American General Life Insurance Company nor any agent representing it is authorized to give legal or tax advice.

(1) When filing a claim for Qualifying Critical Illness, Qualifying Terminal Illness or Qualifying Chronic Illness under an Accelerated Benefit Rider, the claimant must provide to the Company a completed claim form (with Certification attached in the case of a Qualifying Chronic Illness) which must be received at its Administrative Center within the time frame specified in the Rider, if any.

(2) If a benefit under an Accelerated Benefit Rider is payable and the Owner elects to receive such benefit, the Company will provide the Owner with one (1) opportunity to elect a Flexible Accelerated Benefit and/or a Defined Accelerated Benefit, if applicable, under  the Policy as to such Qualifying Event. To make such an election, the Owner must complete an election form and return it to AGL within 60 days of receipt of the election form.  The Company will not provide a later opportunity to elect a Flexible Accelerated Benefit and/or a Defined Accelerated Benefit, if applicable, under a Policy as to the same Qualifying Critical Illness or Qualifying Chronic Illness. Under certain circumstances where an insured’s mortality (i.e., our expectation of the insured’s life expectancy) is not significantly changed by a Qualifying Critical Illness or Qualifying Chronic Illness, the accelerated benefit may be zero.

 (3) The failure to provide a required claim form and a required election form (with the requested attachments) within the periods set forth for each in a Policy may preclude payment of a benefit.

(4) Benefits payable under an accelerated benefit rider may be taxable.  Neither American General Life Insurance Company nor any agent representing it is authorized to give legal or tax advice. Please consult a qualified legal or tax advisor regarding questions concerning the information and concepts contained in this material.

(5) Generally, we will send you an IRS Form 1099-LTC if you receive an accelerated death benefit on account of a Chronic Illness or a Terminal Illness.  We will send you an IRS Form 1099-R if you receive an accelerated death benefit on account of a Critical Illness.

The sum that will be included in Box 2 (Accelerated death benefits paid) of IRS Form 1099-LTC or in Box 1 (Gross distribution) of IRS Form 1099-R will be the actual sum you received by check or otherwise minus any refund of premium and/or loan interest included with our benefit payment plus any unpaid but due policy premium, if applicable, and/or pro rata amount of any loan balance.
