Review: Mutual of Omaha – Guaranteed Universal Life Insurance

Mutual of Omaha currently has over 40 Billion in assets and a reported net income of close to 400 million per year. This is important when purchasing a lifetime policy. You want to make sure the carrier you choose is not going anywhere and they certainly fit this bill.

The guaranteed universal product from Mutual of Omaha is very flexible and includes many options baked into the base policy that would cost extra at other carriers.

Guaranteed Refund Option - If in the future you decide you no longer need the coverage, you can surrender your policy for premium refund. Get all the premiums paid into the policy returned to you within a 60-day period following the 15th, 20th, 21st, 22nd, 23rd, 24th, and 25th policy anniversaries.

This is a great option and costs you nothing. Similar to the return of premium rider that AIG includes in their competing product.

Accelerated Death Benefit for Terminal Illness Rider -  If the insured is diagnosed with an illness that gives them less than 12 months to live or less, access a portion of the death benefit early. Benefit amount may not exceed the lesser of $1,000,000 or 80% of the policy face amount.

Accelerated Death Benefit for Chronic Illness Rider - Take accelerated living benefits for a chronic illness where the insured is unable to perform 2 of the 6 Activities of Daily Living (ADL's). May request up to $1M or 80% of the death benefit, whichever is lower.

Waiver of Surrender Charges for Partial Withdrawal Rider - Waives policy surrender charges for certain events including unemployment, disability, cancer, and nursing home confinement. 

Plan Adjustments - As live changes, you have the option to tweak the policy to meet your financial needs.
