in the text,American Life Insurance GuideWill introduce,Savings Participating PolicyOne of the most commonly used dividend options in the policy is to use the dividend amount of the policy to purchase additional protection and help the accumulation of the cash value of the policy, that isPaid-Up Additions (PUA)this way.
What is Paid-Up Additions/PUA?
Paid-up additions in the Whole Life policy, PUA for short, are the policyholders who use the dividends in the policy to purchase additional protection.We can understand this approach as that the policyholder uses the dividend amount and purchases a lot of "small insurance policies."
These "small insurance policies" are alsoSavings Participating Policy, So you will also enjoy dividends, and the accumulation of cash value will also accumulate according to time compound interest calculations.Because these "small insurance policies" are constantly being purchased, the death compensation and various pre-mortem benefits of the insured will also increase.Policy holders can also surrender part of these PUAs, or borrow the part of the PUA.
When applying for insurance, you need to make a choice.
How does Paid-Up Additions/PUA work?
When you choose the policy dividend to purchase additional protection in the form of PUA when you apply for insurance, the cash value of the PUA part will increase over time. These increases are to enjoy tax deferred benefits.
Another advantage of PUA is that the death benefit of the insurance policy has been increased, and the insured gets more protection, and there is no need for additional underwriting medical examinations and re-underwriting.
This is very beneficial to the insurance policy when the health condition is far worse than when you first bought the insurance policy as you age.For this type of policyholder, in the case of advanced age and poor physical health, the cost is no longer the primary consideration. Insurance companies are no longer willing to underwrite, which is the biggest problem they will face.
It should be noted that even if there is no need for re-medical examination and re-underwriting, the insurance premium for this part of PUA may be higher.Because the premium price is determined according to the overall situation such as the age of the insured when purchasing this PUA protection.
