Final Expense Insurance also referred to as burial insurance and funeral insurance, has become very popular with seniors across America.

Many policies are purchased as a result of continuous television advertising from insurance companies like Globe Life, Colonial Penn, and Lincoln Heritage.

Final Expense Insurance from Prosperity

Prosperity Life Group takes final expense life insurance for seniors very seriously. And as such, the company provides three policy types to make certain that every eligible applicant has the opportunity to secure valuable life insurance protection. The plans they currently offer are:

The Level Plan

Prosperity’s Level Plan is whole life insurance that offers level premiums and first-day coverage. There is no waiting period and the premiums are the most affordable of the three plans offered.

Eligible ages are 50 to 80 years old with face amounts of $1,500 to $35,000. Premium modes are Direct Bill (monthly), Quarterly, Semi-Annual, and Annual. Applicants can elect the Accidental Death Benefit rider if age 74 or younger at the time of application (rider available for all three plans).

Here are actual sample rates for a male and female non-smokers in good health. This sample is for a $15,000 final expense policy.

Although Prosperity offers competitive rates for level benefit final expense insurance, they are especially competitive for 70-year-old females. Remember, level benefits and first-day coverage.

Graded Plan

Prosperity’s graded plan (Golden Promise) is designed to accommodate applicants who do not medically qualify for the level plan. Issue ages for the graded plan are 50 to 75 with face amounts from $1,500 to $35,000. This plan has a graded benefit as follows:

If death occurs in the first year of coverage and is the result of natural causes, the beneficiary would receive 30% of the death benefit.

If death occurs during the second year, the beneficiary would receive 70% of the death benefit.

After the second year of insurance coverage (beginning in month 25), death from natural causes would be 100% of the death benefit.

Death resulting from accidental causes will be paid the full benefit from the fist-day of coverage.

Modified Plan

The modified plan is designed for applicants with severe or multiple health issues who are unable to medically qualify for the level or graded benefit plans. Insurance coverage is available for applicants who are age 50 to 80 with death benefits of $1,500 to $35,000. The modified plan pays the following modified death benefit.

During the first year, if the insured dies as a result of natural causes, the beneficiary would receive 110% of all premiums paid into the policy

During the second year of coverage, if the insured dies as a result of natural causes, the beneficiary would receive 231% of all premiums paid into the policy.

From the 25^th month of coverage and after, the death benefit would be 100% of the face amount of the policy.

It’s important to note that the death benefit, whether graded, modified, or full, is paid to the beneficiary or beneficiaries listed on the policy and is non-taxable.

All three plans will pay the full death benefit if death is the result of an accident from the first day of coverage.

All three plans include at no additional charge an Accelerated Death Benefit. This benefit provides for the insurance company to pay up to 50% of the death benefit to the insured if he or she is diagnosed with a terminal illness. Here is the policy language regarding this benefit:

Receipt of the accelerated death benefit may affect eligibility for public assistance programs and may be taxable. There is no separate premium charge for this benefit. However, upon election, the benefit is discounted because it is an early payment and a one-time processing fee of $150 is deducted.
