American General Quality of Life Review

By: Cliff Marshall

America General Quality of Life is a specialty product only sold by a small selection of brokers through American Generals Nashville office.

The American General Quality of Life Policy is unique in that it provides a Chronic Illness, Critical Illness, and Terminal Illness Rider.

This allows you to access the cash value of the policy in the event of a heart attack, stroke, kidney failure, just to name a few. In the event of one of these illnesses, you file a claim to attain access to a portion of your death benefit to assists or completely pay for these incidents. This policy can also act as an income replacement for months or even years of downtime due to some unforeseen event.

Description of America General Quality of Life Chronic Illness Rider.

The Chronic Illness Rider is one of the automatic, no-cost features that is included to QoL product portfolio. To receive a benefit, you would have to be diagnosed with a “chronic illness” by a licensed health care practitioner within the past year. Every 12 months, your diagnosis would need to be reevaluated to continue receiving benefits.

A chronic illness is classified as an illness that would impair normal daily living, making it difficult to care for yourself without extra help and cost. A chronic illness could get in the way of performing the “Activities of Daily Living,” which includes bathing, dressing, toileting, transferring, continence, and eating. If you are struggling with two of these ADL’s, you may qualify to receive an advance on your death benefit with the Chronic Illness Rider.

You can file a claim to accelerate your death benefit and receive either a lump-sum payment or periodic payments over a selected amount of time.

As with the other options in the Accelerated Death Benefit Rider, these advanced benefits would reduce your death benefit, potentially leaving nothing to be paid on your death. For many people struggling with a chronic illness, the benefit can greatly help reduce the cost of care.

A Description of America General Quality of Life Critical Illness Rider.

A critical illness can leave behind devastating financial costs. With the current rising cost of care,most people are not in the position to handle such an event. In the event of a catastrophic event the Critical Illness Rider can help reduce these financial effects by advancing a portion of the death benefit to help cover costs related to a number of illnesses or conditions. Some of these conditions include heart attack, stroke, paralysis, invasive cancer, or coma.

There is a 30-day waiting period before the benefit is available. The value of the benefit is based on the expected future mortality. If your life expectancy is not significantly impacted by this critical illness, you may not receive an accelerated death benefit. Like the Chronic Illness Rider, the benefits you receive would diminish your death benefit.

A Description of America General Quality of Life Terminal Illness Rider.

This rider provides you with a benefit after you’ve been diagnosed with a terminal illness. A terminal illness is defined as an illness that would likely result in death within 24 months, as diagnosed by a doctor. The payment you receive would be a lump-sum payment and could be either a full or partial amount of the death benefit.Any of these benefits may impact your eligibility for Medicaid and Supplemental Security Income (SSI). Benefits may be taxable, and you should check with your tax advisor to learn more about how your policy values will be reduced.
