ISSUE AGES Clause Samples
The "Issue Ages" clause defines the specific age range within which an individual is eligible to apply for a particular insurance policy or financial product. Typically, this clause will state minimum and maximum ages, such as allowing applicants only between ages 18 and 65. By clearly setting these boundaries, the clause ensures that the insurer manages risk appropriately and that applicants understand their eligibility, thereby preventing disputes or confusion regarding who can be covered.
ISSUE AGES. The minimum issue age is 18; the maximum issue age for automatic reinsurance is 72. In addition, 75% of all participants in the case must be at or below issue age 60. Maximum Face Amounts (Automatic Issue Limits) The face amounts per life cannot exceed the following: >> Initial: $35,000 times the total number of lives up to $3,500,000 >> Ultimate*: $70,000 times the total number of lives up to $7,000,000 * Ultimate face amount includes the initial face amount plus any increases. Automatic Binding Limits Therefore, the maximum face amounts per life that may be automatically ceded to the REINSURER are: >> Initial: 26.67% * Maximum Initial Face Amount >> Ultimate: 26.67% * Maximum Ultimate Face Amount Stacking Limits The amounts of Simplified Issue and Guaranteed issue in force and applied for across any and all companies on a single life cannot exceed the lesser of three times the automatic issue limit or $10 million. Non-US/Canadian Resident Limits Face amounts for Non-US/Canadian work addresses cannot exceed 5% of the Simplified or Guaranteed Issue case face amounts.
