Rates

Your premium is made up of two parts - cost of insurance and a recommended deposit for your Policy Value Account.

Cost of insurance:
The same low rate as the ADA Term Life Insurance Plan† which takes into account your age, coverage amount, elected options, Premium Credit discounts and any volume discount available for coverage amounts in excess of $1,000,000.*

In addition to these discounts, you may also qualify for our Preferred rates.

Recommended Deposit Amount:
In addition to your cost of insurance, you choose the additional amount to deposit into your Policy Value Account.

Based on your life insurance needs and savings goals, we will recommend a periodic deposit amount for your Policy Value Account. You always have flexibility to alter your contributions by amount or frequency if needed, within certain limits. Even if you decide someday that you no longer need the insurance, you can surrender it and receive 100% of the current net value of your account.

† For certificates issued after January 1, 2009, renewal rates might be slightly lower than Term Life rates after age 70.
* A volume discount of 2% or 4% will apply when Member life insurance is $1,000,000 or greater.

Features

While Term Plus® Universal Life protects your family, it also helps your money work harder for you. Here’s how it works:

  • 100% of your deposits are placed in your personal Policy Value Account.
  • The cost of your life insurance, any applicable loan interest,and a small administrative fee are deducted monthly from your Account, and the balance earns interest on a tax deferred basis.1
  • The declared interest rate for 2021 is 2.55%, compounded daily.*
  • The guaranteed minimum interest rate in any given year is 2.5%.**
  • Money that accumulates in this Account can grow faster than in many other savings vehicles (such as bank CDs and money market funds) because the interest is not taxable each year as it is earned.
  • Deposit extra funds, like your annual tax refund, to help your Account balance grow even faster. Your ADA-Sponsored Insurance Plan Specialist can help you design a schedule that doesn’t exceed the limits prescribed by current tax laws.

An automatically increasing death benefit
Your total death benefit can increase automatically as your savings grow, and it is equal to the total of your insured amount plus your account balance.
