Michael Glock was the policyowner-insured of a $50,000 participating whole life insurance policy with a $50,000 accidental death benefit (ADB) rider. Mr. Glock’s $750 annual premium was due on March 13, 2015. On March 24, Mr. Glock was killed in an automobile accident. At the time of his death he had not yet paid his overdue premium. Also at the time of his death, his policy had $3,400 in accumulated policy dividends, including interest, left on deposit with the insurer, and a $2,500 outstanding policy loan. This information indicates that the total death benefit payable to the beneficiary of Mr. Glock’s policy was
$46,750 |
$50,150 |
$100,150 |
$96,750 |
The insure will pay the face amount minus the past due premium.
Therefore, Net benefit = 50,000 - 750 - 2,500 + 3,400 = 50,150
