17 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
18
18 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.
