Do I have to answer medical questions?

You don't have to answer any questions about your health or take a physical exam. Your acceptance is guaranteed!

[back to top]

Is there a waiting period before the full benefit takes effect?

Acceptance can be guaranteed because of a limited benefit period for death during the first two years. In most states (except AR) the full benefit is paid from the very first day of coverage for accidental death.

Will my rates go up every year?

Once you lock in your premium rate for the benefit amount you want, it will stay the same as long as you keep your insurance.

[back to top]

As I get older, will my benefits be reduced?

No. After your coverage begins, your benefit will not decrease as you grow older or if your health changes.

[back to top]

Will my coverage be cancelled just because I get older?

Absolutely not. Your coverage can stay in force as long as you pay your premiums when due.

[back to top]

Does this plan pay benefits even if I have other insurance?

Yes. This plan will pay benefits directly to your beneficiary in addition to any other insurance you might have.

[back to top]

Can I save money by paying annually?

Yes. Save a full month's premium by paying annually -- you get 12 month's protection for the cost of 11! And this savings can add up year after year.

What if I apply for coverage, but change my mind later?

Count on a 30-Day Money Back Guarantee for peace of mind. If you decide this coverage isn't for you, just return your insurance documents within 30 days after receiving them for a complete refund, no questions asked.

Who do I call for customer service?

We've built our reputation on satisfied customers. When you receive your insurance documents, you'll also receive a customer service guide with a toll-free service hotline. This special toll-free number will put you directly in touch with a top notch service team. Your guide will also include information on how to change your payment plan, change a beneficiary, or file a claim.

Does it pay to act now?

Your benefit is based on your age when coverage takes effect. The younger you are when your coverage starts, the higher your benefit will be for life.

[back to top]

What type of payment options do you offer?

When you apply online for coverage you can either use a credit card or pay by direct bill. If you select the direct bill option we'll send you a bill with your policy, and then continue to bill you monthly or annually, depending on the frequency you select. If you change your mind later, you can switch to the billing method that's most convenient for you.

In addition to direct and credit card billing, we also offer automatic deduction from your checking or savings account in most states. This option is not yet available for online applications, but you can easily switch to it after you've made your first payment.

[back to top]

Can I take a loan against the cash value of my Guaranteed Acceptance life insurance policy?

If your coverage is inforce and has a cash value, you may obtain a loan on it. The interest rate is 8% compounded annually. Any loan amount and interest that has not been repaid at the time of death is deducted from the death benefit. Please refer to your policy/certificate for more information, or call our toll-free service number.
