This Supplement updates certain information in the Prospectus. Please read this Supplement carefully and retain it for future use.
 
Effective August 26, 2014, the JPMorgan Insurance Trust International Equity Portfolio, JPMorgan Insurance Trust Intrepid Growth Portfolio and JPMorgan Insurance Trust Midcap Growth Portfolio Subaccounts (the “Subaccounts”) are no longer be available as an investment option under your Contract. The underlying funds of the Subaccounts, the JPMorgan Insurance Trust International Equity Portfolio, JPMorgan Insurance Trust Intrepid Growth Portfolio and JPMorgan Insurance Trust Midcap Growth Portfolio (the “Funds”), are expected to be liquidated on or about December 12, 2014.
 
If you have allocated Contract Value to the Subaccount, you may want to consider transferring your Contract Value to another available subaccount prior to December 12, 2014. Should you choose to request such a transfer, there will be no fees, charges, tax effects, penalties or alteration of your rights for transferring Contract Value from the Subaccount to another subaccount, and such a transfer will not count toward any transfer limit under your Contract.
 
If a transfer request is not received by the close of business on December 11, 2014, Security Benefit Life Insurance Company will re-allocate Contract Value allocated to the Subaccount and redemption proceeds received upon the Fund’s liquidation to the Rydex VIF U.S. Government Money Market Subaccount, which invests in the Rydex VIF U.S. Government Money Market Fund. The investment objective of the U.S. Government Money Market Fund is to seek to provide security of principal, high current income, and liquidity. In addition, if you have selected the Subaccount as part of a Dollar Cost Averaging, Asset Allocation or Rebalancing Program and you do not contact us to change your allocation, future transactions that would have been allocated to the Subaccount will be allocated to the Rydex VIF U.S. Government Money Market Subaccount.
