General Guidelines Guaranteed Issue Simplified Issue The Process Contact Information This presentation will look at the following areas.

5 Where to Use Multi Life GI/SI
Qualified Plans Bonus Arrangements ? Split Dollar Non Qualified Salary Continuation There are a number of situations where multi life guaranteed or simplified issue will make sense. We most often see multi life cases in qualified or non qualified benefit situations. But we do also see these cases where the business has multiple key people with a desire to protect the business against the economic losses that may occur when a key person leaves the business. We also may see these cases in buy sell situations. Key Person Buy Sell

6 General Guidelines All Guaranteed and Simplified Issue Cases
Participating Employees Professionals, executives, senior management in white collar positions. 5A Occupations Employment Status Full time W2 or K1 Underlying Program Design Formula driven Underwriting multi life cases for guaranteed issue or simplified issue begins with some basic guidelines. We can break the basic guidelines down to 5 general areas: 1) The type of business and participating employees; 2) The employment status of the participant; 3) The design of the underlying program; 4) Employer financial strength, and; 5) Citizenship status of the participants. The type of business and participating employees. Multi life cases for both guaranteed and simplified issue underwriting are appropriate for particular types of businesses and employees. We will consider programs for select professional, executives or senior management in white collar occupations. These are generally referred to as 5A occupation. Employment status. All participants must be working full time and actively at work in an employer/employee relationship. We will consider W-2 employees and individuals who are working but receive K1 income. Program design. The underlying program may be on a buy sell program, key person protection or funding under a non qualified executive benefit program. We will need to understand how the death benefit or premium amount has been arrived at by the business. For executive benefit programs, a benefit formula must drive the premium or death benefit. Employer financial strength. The business must be financially sound with a strong profit history. Citizenship status of participants. Each participant must be a US citizen or a permanent resident. Employer Financial Strength US Citizen or Permanent Resident

7 Specific Guidelines Guaranteed Issue

8 Guaranteed Issue Examples
Carve out 15 Managers and Executives to receive an Executive Bonus Arrangement 15 lives x $35,000 = up to $525,000 each Informal funding for a Salary Continuation Plan for 30 Executives 30 lives x $45,000 = up to $1,350,000 each Key Person Insurance on 50 Executives 50 lives x $50,000 = up to $2,500,000 each Here are 3 examples of how guaranteed issue cases may align. In situation 1 – there will be 15 eligible employees. The multiple in this case is $35,000 multiplied by the number of lives. That means that each employee could receive $525,000 of death benefit under the arrangement. However, the death benefit available may actually be higher than the benefit plan formula. That’s fine, a lower death benefit based on the benefit formula is often the case. In the other two examples, you see the application of higher multiples based on a higher number of lives. Please remember, the actual offer will be based on many factors. The guidelines presented here give you a framework to review. If your case falls outside of the guidelines, please reach out to discuss the case.
