LifeCare Benefit is an accelerated death benefit rider and may not be available in all states. Maximum face amount $5 million with LifeCare Benefit. The LifeCare Benefit is not considered long term care insurance in all states. When the death benefit is accelerated for long term care expenses, the death benefit is reduced dollar for dollar, and the cash value is reduced proportionally. The policy account value is also reduced proportionally. There are additional costs associated with this rider.

The LMAX rider is not available in CT, FL, MN, NJ, NY, NC, OR, PA, PR, TX, UT, VT, and WA. It is available only with the LifeCare Benefit rider and is not available on policies with face amounts greater than $1 million at issue. Total additional maximum benefit amount extended for long term care reimbursement equals the initial death benefit (not to exceed $1 million). There are additional costs associated with this rider.

For prospective policyholders in New York, this product is a life insurance policy that accelerates the death benefit for qualified long term care services and is not a health insurance policy providing long term care insurance subject to the minimum requirements of New York Law, does not qualify for the New York State Long Term Care Partnership program and is not a Medicare supplement policy.

1 Trusts should be drafted by an attorney familiar with such matters in order to take into account income and estate tax laws (including the generation-skipping tax). Failure to do so could result in adverse tax treatment of trust proceeds
