Clients all have different goals for how their policy will meet loved ones’ financial needs. Available at no additional cost on select products, the Income Provider Option lets them decide how their death benefit will be paid.

Beneficiary payments on the client's terms

The Income Provider Option offers clients 3 key benefits to help them cover the future needs of their beneficiaries.

Structured death benefit payments

Clients can structure their death benefit payment into installments over time.

Amount and duration are guaranteed

Installments are guaranteed both in their amount and period of time.

Installments can often do the job of a trust without the expense of attorney fees.

Clients have the flexibility to choose:

Benefit period: Payments can be made from 1–30 years.
Payment type: Lump-sum payment, regular income stream or both.
Payment schedule: Monthly, annually or on a specific day (like birthdays or holidays).
Distribution: Multiple beneficiaries equally or divided at client’s discretion.
