Policy Description Level Term (T10, T15, T20, T,25 and T30)

Guaranteed Level Premium coverage lets you lock in a low rate for the policy term you choose: 10, 15, 20, 25, or 30 years. That means your premium is guaranteed not to increase during the term you choose. So your last premium in the level term period is the same as your first. Guaranteed Level Premium policies up to $10,000,000 can be issued to people aged 20-74. At the end of the level premium term period, coverage may be continued to age 85 at increasing yearly term rates without proof of insurability. Policy Forms B-36, B-46 series.

Conversion Feature

This policy may be converted to a level premium whole life policy on any premiums due date which is the earlier of age 70 or end of the Level Term period.
