If you are disabled, you can access the fund value of your universal life policy through your Living Benefits. The funds will be given to you tax-free‡(3) and surrender charge-free.§(4). This benefit covers disabilities caused by a disease or an injury, and those caused by a list of 26 critical conditions, including the need for long-term care.
In the early years of your policy, before you’ve had the chance to build the fund value, the amount accumulated may not be enough to cover your disability needs, and you may want to consider adding disability or critical illness coverage to your protection plan.
Accessing your fund value as Living Benefits will reduce the death benefit(s) and the total fund value of your policy.
Offered at no extra cost, the CAP from ivari lets you take out a loan against your death benefit if you are diagnosed with a terminal illness, or terminal injury, and your life expectancy is less than 24 months.||(5)
