Special Features

ViaPro 30 Premium Refund Option
ViaPro 30 automatically includes a premium Refund Option (PRO). The policyowner receives a cash refund payment if the ViaPro 30 policy is terminated or fully converted in years 7 through 25. If termination or conversion occurs between years 7 and 8, the policyowner will receive a portion of the year 8 refund. The cash refund payment will be based on the face amount, age, sex, rate class and length of time the policy has been in force. Additional premium for riders, table ratings or flat extras will not affect the amount of the cash payment.

Convertibility
The policy is convertible until the insured’s 70th birthday or the 10th policy anniversary, whichever is earlier. The client can convert to any permanent plan we make available for conversion. For ViaPro 30, the cash payment, if any, from the Premium Refund Option may be applied to the premium due for the converted policy. ViaPro 30 is convertible to the 15th policy anniversary.

Premium Calculations

Billing procedure
A client can choose among four premium payment modes: annual, semi-annual, quarterly or monthly pre-authorized premium payments.

If the pre-authorized monthly premium payment method is selected, premiums are deducted automatically from the policyowner’s checking account. The checking account must be with a U.S. bank located in the U.S. Withdrawals will be made in U.S. dollars. To implement a pre-authorized payment plan, your client must submit two monthly premium payments, a voided check and the pre-authorized payment form with the Personal Fact Sheet.

Full and current premiums must be submitted before a contract will be issued.

The rates in the premium table are for annual billing – the most economical mode. Use the factors in the following table to calculate the premiums for other modes.

Sample Premium Calculation

This sample premium calculation illustrates how to reach the monthly premium for a $500,000 ViaTerm 15 base plan with a Waiver of Premium Rider. The client is male, from Colombia, age 50, and preferred non-tobacco user class 1.

Base policy: $3.93+$1.50 (for Columbia loading) x 500 =
$2715.00
Waiver of Premium Rider: $.68 x 500 =
$340.00
Policy Fee   =
$100.00
       
Annual Premium =
$3155.00
       
Multiply by pre-authorized monthly premium payment factor:
