This is a life insurance product that has a feature for a one-time accelerated payment of the face amount in the event that you are certified as either chronically or terminally ill.

Living Benefit: Please note that receipt of “living benefit” (accelerated benefit) insurance proceeds may affect your eligibility for public assistance programs. Proceeds may be taxable. You may wish to consult your financial adviser and/or attorney to determine how this may affect your personal situation. Premiums will be lower when the benefit amount decreases by one-half.

*To receive payments for the chronic care acceleration benefit, you must have a permanent chronic illness for at least 90 consecutive days that leaves you unable to perform two of six activities of daily living without substantial assistance (bathing, dressing, eating, continence, toileting, and transferring) or with a permanent, severe cognitive impairment requiring substantial supervision. Before a claim is approved, New York Life requires proof of a chronic illness as described in the Certificate.

There may be lower-cost permanent life products available with lower benefit amounts and different features, including: a guaranteed acceptance product that includes a two year limited benefit period and a permanent product without the chronic illness acceleration feature.
