Return of Premium options from Illinois Mutual allow you to have insurance protection if you need it, and cash back if you don’t!

Let’s be honest: With most insurance options, you pay for protection in case something unexpected happens, like a car accident. You try to be prepared, but if you (thankfully!) don’t end up using the insurance, you may find yourself questioning the value of your important purchase.

An ROP rider* on disability income insurance (DI) allows for 100% return of premiums paid, minus any benefits already received, when the insured reaches ages 65 to 67. Once premiums are refunded, the policy will end and cannot be reinstated.

With an ROP term life insurance policy, if you outlive the initial policy period, all eligible premiums will be returned to you. Premiums paid for riders, rated policies, policy fees and modal administrative fees are not eligible for return.

Take advantage of this opportunity to learn more about money-back insurance! Ask your agent about purchasing Return of Premium term life or DI today.
