  • How much insurance should I consider?

  • Are there any exclusions?

    Benefits are paid for death from any cause, at anytime, anywhere in the world except suicide within the first two years of coverage, whether sane or insane -- in which case, the benefits will be reduced to a refund of premiums paid.

    Insurance will take effect on the date your application is approved by New York Life Insurance Company provided the initial contribution has been paid within 31 days after the date you are billed and any person to be insured is actively performing the normal activities of a person in good health of like age NC residents (a person of like age)  on the date of approval.

    Any person who is not performing his/her normal daily activities as required will not become insured until the day he/she is performing such activities, provided such date is within three months of the date insurance would have been effective and the person is still eligible
