American Heart Association, Heart and Stroke Statistical Update, American Cancer Society, Cancer Facts & Figures, What is Critical Illness Coverage and how does it work? Upon the first diagnosis of any one of the covered conditions listed above, made on or after the 30th day from the effective date of the policy, except for terminal illness which pays the full face amount of the policy, Southwest Service will pay the percentage of the face amount of the life policy in a lump sum directly to the insured. These listed covered conditions are defined in the actual rider attached to your policy. After payment of any one of these Living Benefits, the face amount of the policy will be reduced by the amount of this payment and the remaining portion of the death benefit will be paid upon the death of the insured. A notice will be sent to the owner of the policy at the time of the Living Benefit payment, setting out the amount of the benefits paid, the effect of the benefit payment on the death benefit and the amount of benefits remaining on the policy. Why would I need this type of insurance coverage? Almost everyone knows someone who has experienced a critical illness of some kind and survived physically, but then be left in financial ruin. Critical illness insurance is designed to help people through the financial challenges associated with survival of a critical illness. Wouldn t a check be better than a get well card? Living Benefits are paid directly to you. You choose how to spend the benefit at a time when you and your family may need extra cash the most.

3 A Living Benefit Insurance Policy Survival Rates are Up! Advanced medical technology is allowing many more people to survive critical illnesses that would have been fatal in the past: Between 1994 and 2004, the death rate declined approximately 31% for heart attacks and almost 24% for strokes. (Source: American Heart Association, Heart and Stroke Statistical Update 2008) The possibility of surviving a critical illness before age 65 is almost twice as great as dying. (Source: National Center for Health Statistics) What if I experience more than one of the Covered Critical Conditions? Only one of the covered Critical Condition Living Benefits can be paid to an insured during their lifetime. Once a Living Benefit is paid, the face amount of the life insurance is reduced by the amount of the Living Benefit check. The remaining death benefit will be paid to your designated beneficiary at death. The Living Benefit is not considered a loan, therefore you do not have to repay the money or pay interest on this benefit. Not because you ll die, because you ll carry on Survival UP! Rates are 5.7 million stroke survivors are alive today* Can I outlive these benefits? Do they stop at a certain age? This is a whole life policy without cash values. It is not health insurance or a term life insurance policy that only runs for a limited time. Once the policy is issued, it is in force until you die or you let it lapse for non payment of premiums. It is permanent life insurance and the extra Critical Illness Benefits stay in force for as long as the policy is in force, regardless of your age. Critical Illness Family Coverage Permanent whole life policy with extra Critical Illness benefits can be written on you and your spouse or your whole Family. Once your policy is approved and issued by the Home Office, upon the first diagnosis of any one of the covered conditions listed below, made on or after the 30th day from the effective date of the policy, Southwest Service will pay the percentage of the face amount of the policy in a lump sum directly to the insured except for terminal illness which pays 100% of the face amount of the policy. Terminal Illness % Major Heart Surgery % Heart Attack % Renal Failure % Major Organ Transplant % Death from any cause is a 100% benefit (except suicide during the first two years) Stroke % Cancer (life threatening) % Breast Cancer % Prostate Cancer % Do I have to die from one of these Critical Conditions for the life insurance benefits to be paid? The life insurance benefit will be paid to your beneficiary for death from any cause, except for suicide during the first two years of the policy. Remember your whole life policy with Critical Illness benefits is permanent life insurance; it stays with you as long as you live, and when you need it most as you get older, as long as you pay the premiums. Tax Treatment of Accelerated Living Benefits Unlike a death benefit, living benefits may be taxable. You should consult with a tax advisor as to the taxability of any living benefit you receive. * Statistic Sources.
