This plan includes an accelerated benefit provision for policyholders who are diagnosed with a terminal illness. Insurance premiums increase as the policyholder ages. Policy certificates are renewable annually until the age of 80. Unless they have previously renewed their policy, if a policyholder dies a day after the one-year term, the beneficiary will not receive benefits. Generally, new policyholders are allowed a full 30-day period to review coverage before the premium amount is due.
