Charges for Early Withdrawals

 

If you withdraw money from the Policy within 12 years from your initial Policy Date or the date of any increase in Specified Amount, you will be assessed a Surrender Charge. The maximum Surrender Charge for the initial Specified Amount is based on the Policy year of Surrender. For any increase in Specified Amount, a Surrender Charge based on the increase will be imposed in addition to the Surrender Charge prior to the increase. The maximum Surrender Charge is 4.838% per $1,000 of Specified Amount. The longest Surrender Charge period is 12 years from Policy Issue Date or the date of any increase in Specified Amount.

 

The maximum Surrender Charge is $48.38 per $1,000 of specified face amount. For example, the maximum Surrender Charge during the first year after issue (or a Specified Amount increase), assuming an initial face amount (or subsequent specified face amount increase) of $100,000, is $4,838.00.

 

The maximum Partial Withdrawal Charge is $50 upon each withdrawal.

PRINCIPAL RISKS OF INVESTING IN THE POLICY

Not a Short-Term Investment

 The Policy is designed to provide lifetime insurance protection. It is not a short-term investment and is not appropriate for an investor who needs ready access to cash. The Policy will usually be unsuitable for short-term savings or short-term life insurance needs. This Policy is not considered a short-term investment because of the 12-year Surrender Charge period and the possibility for a tax penalty at the time of Surrender. Due to the long-term nature of the Policy, you should consider whether purchasing the Policy is consistent with the purpose for which it is being considered.

PRINCIPAL RISKS OF INVESTING IN THE POLICY
Risks Associated with Investment Options

 An investment in the Policy is subject to the risk of poor investment performance and can vary depending on the performance of the Investment Options available under the Policy. Each Investment Option (including the Fixed Account) will have its own unique risks. You should review these Investment Options before making an investment decision. The Fixed Account is subject to the financial strength and claims paying ability of the Company.

Investments

 

In addition to the right of each portfolio company to impose restrictions on excessive trading, we reserve the right to reject or restrict, in our sole discretion, transfers initiated by a market timing organization or individual or other party authorized to give transfer instructions. We further reserve the right to impose restrictions on transfers we determine, in our sole discretion, will disadvantage or potentially hurt the rights or interest of other Policy Owners.

 

Transfers must be at least $250, or the entire Subaccount or Fixed Account if less. The first 15 transfers each Policy year are free. Thereafter, we charge $10 for each transfer.

 

A transfer from the Fixed Account (except made pursuant to a systematic transfer program) may be made only once each Policy Year; may be delayed up to six months and is limited during any Policy Year to the greater of 25% of the Fixed Account value on the date of the transfer during that Policy Year, the greatest amount of any non-systematic transfer out of the Fixed Account during the previous 13 months; or $1,000.

 

Ameritas Life reserves the right to remove or substitute portfolio companies as Investment Options that are available under the Policy.

Optional Benefits

Some optional benefits were available to be elected at Policy issue only.  Optional benefit riders to the Policy may have separate incontestability provisions.  Withdrawals reduce the Account Value and in some cases the Specified Amount which may reduce some of the benefits available under riders where the rider benefit is based on the Specified Amount of the base Policy, and make it potentially more likely the entire Policy, including the rider, would lapse. We may discontinue offering, or modify the terms of, optional benefits for new sales at any time.

PRINCIPAL RISKS OF INVESTING IN THE POLICY

 

 

Not a Short-Term Investment

The Policy is unsuitable for short-term savings or short-term life insurance needs and is subject to investment risk, including the loss of principal. This Policy is not considered a short-term investment because of the 12-year Surrender Charge and the possibility of a tax penalty at the time of Surrender. Funds allocated to the Fixed Account are subject to the claims paying ability of the Company. You should evaluate the Policy's long-term investment potential and risks before purchasing a Policy. You should purchase a Policy only if you have the financial capability and the intent to keep the Policy in force for a substantial period of time.

 

Portfolio Company Risk of Loss

Your Account Value will fluctuate with the performance of the Investment Options you choose. You assume the risk that your Account Value may decline or not perform to your expectations. Each underlying portfolio has various investment risks and some have greater risks than others. If you are also invested in the Fixed Account, interest rates may also vary or not perform to your expectations.

 

There is no assurance that any underlying portfolio will meet its objectives. Prospectuses for Investment Options are available at our website, ameritas.com/investments/fund-prospectuses or by calling 800-745-1112.

 

Fixed Account Risks

The Fixed Account is part of the General Account of Ameritas Life Insurance Corp. The obligations of the General Account including any interest credited to the Fixed Account, and any guaranteed benefits we may provide under the Policy that exceed the value of the amounts held in the Separate Account, are subject to the claims of our creditors, the financial strength and the claims paying ability of the Company. The General Account is not a bank account and it is not insured by the FDIC or any other government agency.

 

Insurance Company Risks

Ameritas Life has sole legal responsibility to pay amounts that are owed under the Policy. You should look to the financial strength of Ameritas Life for its claims-paying ability. We are also exposed to risks related to natural and human-made disasters or other events, including (but not limited to) earthquakes, fires, floods, storms, epidemics and pandemics (such as COVID-19), terrorists acts, civil unrest, malicious acts and/or other events that could adversely affect our ability to conduct business. The risks from such events are common to all insurers. To mitigate such risks, we have business continuity plans in place that include remote workforces, remote system and telecommunication accessibility, and other plans to ensure availability of critical resources and business continuity during an event. Such events can also have an adverse impact on financial markets, U.S. and global economies, service providers, and Fund performance for the portfolios available through your Policy. There can be no assurance that we, the Funds, or our service providers will avoid such adverse impacts due to such event and some events may be beyond control and cannot be fully mitigated or foreseen.

 

Surrender Risks

The Policy is designed to provide lifetime insurance protection. Upon a full Surrender of your Policy, we deduct a Surrender Charge from the total Policy Value. Generally, the Surrender Charge is higher the older you are when the Policy is issued or if there is an increase in Specified Amount. The longest Surrender Charge period is 12 years from Policy Issue Date or the date of any increase in Specified Amount. Depending on the Account Value at the time you are considering Surrender, there may be little or no Cash Surrender Value payable to you. Surrender of a Policy while a Policy Loan is outstanding could result in significant tax consequences. A surrender before age 59 ½ may also result in tax penalties. Following a full Surrender, all your rights in the Policy end, and the Policy may not be reinstated.

 

Partial Withdrawal Risks

Upon a partial withdrawal from your Policy, we will deduct a Partial Withdrawal Charge. This fee will be deducted from the Investment Options and in the same allocation as your partial withdrawal allocation instruction; if that is not possible (due to insufficient value in one of the Investment Options you elect) or you have not given such instructions, we will deduct this fee on a Pro-Rata basis from balances in all Subaccounts and the Fixed Account. Partial withdrawals may reduce the amount of the death benefit. In some cases, such as when the Policy's death benefit is driven by the Corridor Factor, the death benefit may be reduced by more than the amount of the partial withdrawal. Taxes and tax penalties may apply.

 

Lapse Risks

If the Cash Surrender Value is not sufficient to pay charges when due, your Policy can terminate, or "lapse." This can happen if you have not paid enough premiums or if the Investment Options you selected experienced poor performance or because of a combination of both factors. This can happen even if you pay the Planned Periodic Premiums. You will be given a "grace period" within which to make additional premium payments to keep the Policy from lapsing. You will have a 61-day "grace period" to make a premium payment to continue your Policy. If your Policy lapses, your insurance coverage will terminate; you may be given the opportunity to reinstate the Policy by making the required premium payments and satisfying certain other conditions.

 

Since partial withdrawals reduce your Account Value, partial withdrawals increase the risk of lapse. Taking a Policy Loan also increases the risk of lapse.

 

 

 

If the Policy lapses because a grace period ended without a sufficient payment being made, you may reinstate it within five years of the date of lapse, so long as the Insured is Attained Age 80 or less and the requirements of reinstatement are met, including evidence of insurability. For more information see REINSTATEMENT under LAPSE AND REINSTATEMENT.

 

Death Benefit Risks

Death benefit proceeds are reduced by any Policy Loan Balance, Lien Balance, and any Monthly Deductions due but unpaid at death. Depending upon your choice of death benefit option, adverse performance of the Investment Options you choose may decrease your Policy's death benefit. In some cases, such as when the Policy's death benefit is driven by the Corridor Factor, the death benefit may be reduced by more than the amount of the partial withdrawal.

 

Policy Loan Risks

A Policy Loan, whether or not repaid, will affect the Cash Surrender Value of your Policy over time. We will transfer all Policy Loan amounts from the Subaccounts and the Fixed Account to a Loan Account. The Loan Account does not participate in the investment experience of the Investment Options or receive any higher current interest rate credited to the Fixed Account.

 

The larger a Policy Loan Balance becomes relative to the Policy's Cash Surrender Value, the greater the risk that the Policy's Cash Surrender Value will not be sufficient to support the Policy's charges and expenses, including any loan interest due, and the greater the risk of the Policy lapsing. Any Policy Loan interest payable on a Policy Anniversary that you do not pay will become part of the outstanding Policy Loan principal and will also accrue interest.

 

Further, the death benefit is reduced by the amount of any outstanding Policy Loan and accrued Policy Loan interest.

 

Your Policy may lapse if your outstanding Policy Loan and accrued Policy Loan interest reduce the Cash Surrender Value to zero. There is a tax risk associated with outstanding debt. If you Surrender your Policy or your Policy lapses while there is an outstanding Policy Loan, there will generally be Federal income tax payable on the amount by which Policy Loans and partial withdrawals exceed the premiums paid. Since Policy Loans reduce your Policy’s Account Value, any remaining Account Value may be insufficient to pay the income tax due and may cause the need for additional premium to keep your Policy in force.

 

Limitations on Access to Cash Value

There is no minimum Policy Loan amount. We limit partial withdrawals to a minimum of $100, and require you to have not less than an amount to maintain the Policy in force for the next three months following the partial withdrawal and provided your Specified Amount of coverage meets required levels. Policy Loans may only be taken if your Cash Surrender Value; less Policy Loan interest on the Policy Loan Balance including the requested Policy Loan to the next Annual Date; less Monthly Deductions, is sufficient to keep your Policy in force for the next three months. We may defer making a Policy Loan for up to six months unless the Policy Loan is to pay premiums to us. We can postpone payments or any transfers out of a Subaccount if (i) the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) is closed for other than customary weekend and holiday closings; (ii) trading on the NYSE is restricted; (iii) an emergency exists as determined by the SEC; or (iv) the SEC permits delay for the protection of security holders. We may defer payments of a full or partial Surrender from the Fixed Account for up to six months from the date we received your Written Notice requesting the Surrender and receive approval from the department of insurance of the State where the Policy is delivered. The applicable rules of the SEC will govern as to whether the conditions in (iii) or (iv) exist. Even if you pay Planned Periodic Premiums, your Policy could lapse if the Cash Surrender Value is not enough to pay the Monthly Deduction. However, your Policy will stay in force for the first 10 Policy years if you meet the Minimum No-Lapse Premium requirements.

 

Transfer Risks

There is a risk that you will not be able to transfer your Account Value from one Investment Option to another because of limits on the dollar amount or frequency of transfers you can make which the portfolio companies impose. We are required to restrict or prohibit transfer by Policy Owners identified as having engaged in transactions that violate fund trading policies. You should read each portfolio company's prospectus for further details. Limitations on transfers out of the Fixed Account are more restrictive than those that apply to transfers out of the Subaccounts.

 

To discourage disruptive frequent trading activity, we impose restrictions on transfers (See the Disruptive Trading Procedures section) and reserve the right to change, suspend or terminate telephone, fax and Internet transaction privileges (See the Transfers section). In addition, we reserve the right to take other actions at any time to restrict trading, including, but not limited to: (i) restricting the number of transfers made during a defined period, (ii) restricting the dollar amount of transfers, and (iii) restricting transfers into and out of certain Subaccounts. We also reserve the right to defer a transfer at any time we are unable to purchase or redeem shares of the underlying portfolio.

 

While we seek to identify and prevent disruptive frequent trading activity, it may not always be possible to do so. Therefore, no assurance can be given that the restrictions we impose will be successful in preventing all disruptive frequent trading and avoiding harm to long-term investors.

 

Potential for Increased Charges

The actual charges deducted are current charges on your Policy. However, we have the right to increase those charges at any time up to the guaranteed maximum charges as stated in your Policy.

 

 

Market Timing Risks

Investments in variable life insurance products can be a prime target for abusive transfer activity because these products value their Subaccounts on a daily basis and allow transfers among Subaccounts without immediate tax consequences. As a result, some investors may seek to frequently transfer into and out of Subaccounts in reaction to market news or to exploit a perceived pricing inefficiency. Whatever the reason, long-term investors in a Subaccount can be harmed by frequent transfer activity since such activity may expose the Investment Option's underlying portfolio to increased portfolio transaction costs and/or disrupt the portfolio manager’s ability to effectively manage the portfolio’s investments in accordance with the portfolio’s investment objectives and policies, both of which may result in dilution with respect to interests held for long-term investment.

 

Tax Risks

We believe the Policy qualifies as a life insurance contract for Federal tax purposes; so that death benefits for individually owned life insurance generally are not subject to income tax, and you should not be considered in constructive receipt of the Cash Surrender Value, including any increases in Cash Surrender Value, unless and until it is distributed from the Policy. Other federal and state taxes may apply. In general, you will be taxed on the amount of a distribution if it exceeds the investment in the Policy (premiums paid). Any taxable distributions are treated as ordinary income (rather than as capital gains) for tax purposes.

 

In order for you to receive the tax benefits extended to life insurance under the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code"), your Policy must comply with certain requirements of the Code. We will monitor your Policy for compliance with these requirements, but a Policy might fail to qualify as life insurance in spite of our monitoring. If this were to occur, you would be subject to income tax on the income credited to your Policy for the period of disqualification and all subsequent periods. Tax consequences of Ownership or receipt of Policy proceeds under federal, state and local estate, inheritance, gift and other tax laws can vary greatly depending upon the circumstances of each Owner or Beneficiary. There can also be unfavorable tax consequences on such things as the change of Policy Ownership or assignment of Ownership interests. Limits on premium payments and Treasury Department rules could also impact whether the Policy will qualify for the benefits extended to life insurance under the Code. There is no certainty that the expected benefits of life insurance, relative to other financial or investment products, will always continue to exist. We reserve the right to make such changes in the Policy as we deem necessary to assure it qualifies as a life insurance contract under the Code and continues to provide the tax benefits of such qualification.

 

Buying a Policy might not be advisable if it is just replacing existing life insurance. You may wish to consult with your financial or insurance professional.

 

Cybersecurity Risk

We are at risk for cyber security failures or breaches of our information and processing systems and the systems of our business partners that could have negative impacts on you. These impacts include, but are not limited to, potential financial losses under your Policy, your inability to conduct transactions under your Policy, our inability to calculate your Policy’s values, and the disclosure of your personal or confidential information. For more information about these cyber security risks, see the Statement of Additional Information.

 

Restrictions on Financial Transactions

Applicable laws designed to counter terrorism and prevent money laundering might, in certain circumstances, require us to reject a premium payment and/or block or “freeze” your Policy. If these laws apply in a particular situation, we would not be allowed to process any request for withdrawals, Surrenders, Policy Loans or death benefits, make transfers or continue making payments under your death benefit option until instructions are received from the appropriate regulator. We also may be required to provide additional information about you or your Policy to government regulators.

 

Other Matters

Pandemics and their related major public health issues have a major impact on the global economy and financial markets. Governmental and non-governmental organizations may not effectively combat the spread and severity of such a pandemic, increasing its harm to Ameritas Life. Any of these events could materially adversely affect the Company’s operations, business, financial results, or financial condition.

Insurance Company Risks

Ameritas Life has sole legal responsibility to pay amounts that are owed under the Policy. You should look to the financial strength of Ameritas Life for its claims-paying ability. We are also exposed to risks related to natural and human-made disasters or other events, including (but not limited to) earthquakes, fires, floods, storms, epidemics and pandemics (such as COVID-19), terrorists acts, civil unrest, malicious acts and/or other events that could adversely affect our ability to conduct business.

Item 10. Standard Death Benefits (N-6) [Table Text Block]

 

STANDARD DEATH BENEFITS

 

The principal purpose of the Policy is to provide a death benefit upon the Insured's death, but before then you may also borrow against the Policy's Cash Surrender Value, take a partial withdrawal, or fully Surrender it for its Cash Surrender Value. Tax penalties and Surrender Charges may apply to amounts taken out of your Policy. The Policy will terminate and all insurance will stop when the Insured dies.

 

Death Benefit

 

Upon the Insured's death, we will pay to the Policy Beneficiary:

§the death benefit on the Insured's life under the death benefit option in effect; plus
§any additional life insurance proceeds provided by any optional benefit or rider; minus
§any Policy Loan Balance; minus
§any Policy Lien Balance; minus
§any overdue Monthly Deductions, including the Monthly Deduction for the month of death.

 

 

We will pay the death benefit proceeds after we receive satisfactory proof that the Insured died while the Policy was in force and other proof that we may require in order to investigate the claim. We will pay the death benefit proceeds in a lump-sum payment to the Beneficiary. We will include interest from the Insured's date of death to the payment date. The rate of interest will be at least the amount required by law. Full payment of the death benefit proceeds discharges us from any and all claims.

 

Death Benefit Options

When you apply for your Policy, you will choose one of the three death benefit options, which will be used to determine the death benefit. Your Policy Value and death benefit may vary based on the performance of the variable Investment Options you select. If we issue a Policy, insurance coverage will be effective as of the Policy Date.

 

Death Benefit Option A

Under Option A, the death benefit is the greater of:

§the Specified Amount of insurance coverage; and
§the Account Value multiplied by the Corridor Factor.

 

Death Benefit Option B

Under Option B, the death benefit is the greater of:

§the Specified Amount of insurance coverage plus the Account Value; and
§the Account Value multiplied by the Corridor Factor.

 

Death Benefit Option C

Under Option C, the death benefit is the greater of:

§the Specified Amount of insurance coverage plus the sum of premiums paid minus the sum of partial withdrawals taken; and
§the Account Value multiplied by the Corridor Factor.

 

If you select Option C and the sum of partial withdrawals taken is greater than the sum of premiums paid, the death benefit may be less than the Specified Amount.

 

When you apply for your Policy, you will also choose one of two alternative tests to evaluate whether your Policy qualifies as a life insurance contract under the Internal Revenue Code. Once you have chosen a test for tax qualification, you cannot change it. If you choose the guideline premium test ("GPT"), total premium payments may not exceed the guideline premium payment limitations for life insurance set forth under the Internal Revenue Code. If you choose the cash value accumulation test ("CVAT"), the guideline premium limitations do not apply. The Corridor Factors are shown in the Policy schedule.

 

Changes in Death Benefit Option

You select the death benefit option when you apply for the Policy. You also may change the death benefit option after the first Policy year, as discussed below.

 

Changes in Death Benefit Option Rules

§Your request for a change must be by Written Notice.
§You can only change your Policy death benefit option once each Policy year. The change will be effective on the Monthly Date after we receive (or, if evidence of insurability is necessary, after we approve) your Written Notice.
§There is no fee to change your Policy death benefit option.
§Changing from Option B to Option A, or from Option C to Option A: The Specified Amount will not change, and the death benefit will be reduced to equal the Specified Amount.
§Changing from Option A to Option B, or from Option C to Option B: The Specified Amount will be adjusted so that the Net Amount at Risk is unchanged.
§The change is allowed only if the new Specified Amount of insurance meets the requirements stated in the Changes in Specified Amount section, below.

 

Changes in Specified Amount

The initial Specified Amount is set at the time we issue your Policy. The Specified Amount may change from time to time, as discussed below. A change in Specified Amount could have federal tax consequences (See the TAX MATTERS section).

 

Under the Scheduled Increase Rider for the Insured, we will automatically increase the Specified Amount on Annual Dates. The amount of the increase is shown on the Policy schedule. Total increases from the rider may not exceed two times the initial Specified Amount. No increase will be made after the Annual Date nearest the Insured's 65th birthday. We will mail to you a revised Policy schedule for each increase. Acceptance is automatic. You may reject the increase by Written Notice to us and return of the revised Policy schedule within 30 days of the increase date. There is no charge for the rider.

 

In addition, on or after one year from the Policy Date, you may change the current Specified Amount of insurance coverage by Written Notice on a form provided by us, and subject to our approval.

 

 

INCREASE in Coverage Rules

§The minimum amount of an increase in Specified Amount of insurance coverage is $25,000.
§An increase of the Specified Amount will require evidence of insurability satisfactory to us and be subject to our underwriting limits in place at that time. (Underwriting requirements do not apply to requested increases if certain riders are part of your Policy.)
§Any increase of the Specified Amount will be subject to increased cost of insurance charges, monthly Specified Amount charges, and Surrender Charges based on the Insured's gender and the Issue Age and rate class for the increase. You will receive a revised Policy schedule stating the increased charges.

 

DECREASE in Coverage Rules

§The amount of any decrease may be no less than $1,000.
§Any reduction in the Specified Amount will be in the following order:
·first, reduce the most recent increase of the Specified Amount;
·then, the next most recent increases; and
·finally, the Policy's initial Specified Amount.
§Any decrease of the Specified Amount you request will not reduce the Surrender Charges or the monthly Specified Amount charges in effect at the time of the decrease.
§The Specified Amount of coverage after the decrease must be at least $50,000. We may limit any requested decrease to the amount necessary to keep the Policy in compliance with maximum premium limits under federal tax law.
§If the change is within the minimum no-lapse period, we will update the monthly Minimum No-Lapse Premium on the revised Policy schedule.

 

No Maturity Date

 

This Policy does not have a maturity date. If the Insured is still living at Attained Age 121, all Monthly Deductions will cease, and we will not accept any additional premiums except for amounts required to keep the policy in force. New Policy Loans and Policy Loan repayments can continue to be made and the Policy Loan Balance will continue to accrue interest. The death benefit option will be changed to Option A, and partial withdrawals are not permitted after Attained Age 121. You may surrender your policy if you do not want coverage to continue past Attained Age 121. Continuing coverage beyond attained age 121 may disqualify the insurance for favorable tax treatment. You should consult a tax advisor before you choose to continue your Policy after attained age 121.

 

Payment of Policy Proceeds

 

A primary function of a life insurance policy is to provide payment of Policy proceeds. Policy proceeds are payable upon the Insured’s death, a full Surrender or partial withdrawal of Account Value, or upon any other benefit where certain proceeds are payable. We will make payment in a lump sum to the Beneficiary.

 

Rules for Payment of Policy Proceeds

§Payees must be individuals who receive payments in their own behalf unless otherwise agreed to by us.
§We may require proof of your age or survival or the age or survival of the payee.
§No payee may commute, encumber or alienate any proceeds under this Policy before they are due. No proceeds are subject to attachment for any debt or obligation of any payee.

 

Payment of Death Benefit Proceeds

We may pay death benefit proceeds in a lump sum by establishing an interest bearing account for the Beneficiary, in the amount of the death benefit proceeds payable. The same interest rate schedule and other account terms will apply to all Beneficiary accounts in place at any given time. We will send the Beneficiary a checkbook within seven days after we receive all the required documents, and the Beneficiary will have immediate access to the account simply by writing a check for all or any part of the amount of the death benefit proceeds payable. The account is part of our General Account. It is not a bank account and it is not insured by the FDIC or any other government agency. As part of our General Account, it is subject to the claims of our creditors. We receive a benefit from all amounts left in the General Account.

 

We will include interest from the Insured’s date of death to the payment date.
(1) Interest will accrue  at the rate or rates applicable to the Policy for funds left on deposit or, if the Company has not established a rate for funds left on deposit, at the Two Year Treasury Constant Maturity Rate as published by the Federal Reserve.  In determining the effective annual rate or rates, we shall use the rate in effect on the date of death.
(2) Interest will accrue at the effective annual rate determined in item (1) above, plus additional interest at a rate of 10% annually beginning with the date that is 31 calendar days from the latest of items (a), (b) and (c) below to the date the claim is paid.
  (a) the date that we receive satisfactory proof of death of the Insured;
  (b) the date that we receive sufficient information to determine our liability, the extent of that liability, and the appropriate payee legally entitled to the proceeds;

 

 

  (c) the date that legal impediments to payment of proceeds that depend on the action of parties other than us are resolved and sufficient evidence of the same is provided to us.  Legal impediments to payment include, but are not limited to:
    (i) the establishment of guardianships and conservatorships;
    (ii) the appointment and qualification of trustees, executors and administrators; and
    (iii) the submission of information required to satisfy state and federal reporting requirements.

 

Misstatement of Age or Gender

 

If an Insured’s age or gender has been misstated on the application, an adjustment will be made to reflect the correct age and gender. If the misstatement is discovered at death, the Policy death benefit and any additional benefits provided will be adjusted based on what the cost of insurance rate as of the most recent Monthly Date would have purchased at the Insured’s correct age and gender. If the misstatement is discovered prior to death, the Cash Surrender Value will be adjusted, based on the Insured’s correct age and gender, to reflect the expense charges, Surrender Charges and cost of insurance rates from the Policy Date.

 

Suicide

 

We will terminate the Policy without payment of the death benefit and give back the premiums received, less any partial withdrawals and Policy Loan Balance, if the Insured, while sane or insane, commits suicide within two years (one year in North Dakota) after the date the Policy was issued. We will pay only the Monthly Deductions for an increase in Specified Amount of insurance if the Insured, while sane or insane, commits suicide within two years (one year in North Dakota) after the effective date of any increase. Riders to the policy may have separate suicide provisions.

 

RELIANCE

The Policy was issued based on the answers in the application and supplemental applications. We have assumed all such answers to be true and complete. If any are not, we may, subject to the incontestability provision, have the right to void the Policy and give back premiums paid, minus any Policy Loan Balance and any partial withdrawals.

 

Incontestability

 

We will not contest the Policy, in the absence of fraud, after it has been in force while the Insured is alive for two years from the Issue Date, nor will we contest any increased benefits later than two years after the effective date of such increase. If you did not request the increase or if evidence of insurability was not required, we will not contest the increase. Increased benefits, for the purposes of this provision, shall include any favorable Policy changes you request. If the Policy is reinstated, the contestable period will start over again beginning on the reinstatement date, but only for statements made in the application for reinstatement. Riders to the Policy may have separate incontestability provisions.

 

Assignment

 

You may assign your Policy by giving Written Notice. We will not be responsible for the validity of an assignment or tax consequences of an assignment. Unless you specify otherwise, the assignment will take effect on the date the Written Notice was signed by you. No assignment will be binding on us until we receive written notice. We will not be liable for any payments we make or actions we take before we receive Written Notice of an assignment. Your rights, and the rights of any Beneficiary or payee, will be subject to any assignment. An assignment is subject to any Policy Loan Balance.

 

UNCLAIMED DEATH BENEFIT PROCEEDS

 

Every state has unclaimed property laws that generally declare life insurance policies to be abandoned after a period of inactivity of three to five years from the date any death benefit is due and payable. For example, if the payment of a death benefit has been triggered, and after a thorough search, we are still unable to locate the Beneficiary of the death benefit, the death benefit will be paid to the abandoned property investment division or unclaimed property office of the state in which the Beneficiary or the Policy Owner last resided, as shown on our books and records. (“Escheatment” is the formal, legal name for this process.) However, the state is obligated to pay the death benefit (without interest) if your Beneficiary steps forward to claim it with the proper documentation and within certain mandated periods. To prevent your Policy’s death benefit from being paid to the state’s abandoned or unclaimed property office, it is important that you update your Beneficiary designation—including complete names and complete address—if and as they change.

Item 11. Other Benefits Available (N-6) [Text Block]

 

OTHER BENEFITS AVAILABLE UNDER THE POLICY

 

In addition to the standard death benefit(s) associated with your Policy, other standard and/or optional benefits may be available to you. The following table(s) summarize information about those benefits. Information about the fees associated with each benefit included in the table(s) may be found in the FEE TABLE.

 

Name of Benefit Purpose

Is Benefit Standard or

Optional

Brief Description of Restrictions/Limitations*

 

Accelerated Benefit Rider for Terminal Illness

 

This rider provides the ability to accelerate a portion of the death benefit to be a living benefit, allowing you to withdraw value from the Policy, as defined in the rider, in the event of diagnosis of terminal illness.

 

Standard

 

Available for issue ages 0-80. We charge an administrative fee when this rider is exercised. The administrative fee will be deducted from the accelerated benefit. The amount available as a living benefit is no more than 50% of the total Specified Amount up to $500,000 payable under the Policy. We will treat the accelerated benefit plus accrued interest as a lien against the death benefit proceeds. Your death benefit and access to the Account Value will be reduced by the Lien Balance. We will charge interest on the Lien Balance. We will make only one accelerated benefit payment under this rider. No further changes to the Policy will be permitted without our consent.

 

Insurance Exchange Rider

 

This rider provides the right to exchange the Policy for a new policy on the life of a substitute Insured. This rider will transfer the Account Value of the original Policy and any Policy Loan Balance into the new policy.

 

 

Standard

 

Exercise of the right is subject to satisfactory evidence of insurability of the substitute Insured. Costs associated with the new policy will vary.

 

Exercise of this rider will result in a taxable exchange.

 

Available after issue with satisfactory evidence of insurability.

 

Paid-Up Insurance Benefit Endorsement

 

This endorsement protects your Policy from lapsing under certain conditions when your outstanding Policy Loan Balance is large relative to your Account Value and Specified Amount.

 

Standard for Owners that select the guideline premium test ("GPT")

Fixed Account Risks [Member]  
Prospectus:  
Principal Risk [Text Block]

 

Fixed Account Risks

The Fixed Account is part of the General Account of Ameritas Life Insurance Corp. The obligations of the General Account including any interest credited to the Fixed Account, and any guaranteed benefits we may provide under the Policy that exceed the value of the amounts held in the Separate Account, are subject to the claims of our creditors, the financial strength and the claims paying ability of the Company. The General Account is not a bank account and it is not insured by the FDIC or any other government agency.

Surrender Risks [Member]  
Prospectus:  
Principal Risk [Text Block]

 

Surrender Risks

The Policy is designed to provide lifetime insurance protection. Upon a full Surrender of your Policy, we deduct a Surrender Charge from the total Policy Value. Generally, the Surrender Charge is higher the older you are when the Policy is issued or if there is an increase in Specified Amount. The longest Surrender Charge period is 12 years from Policy Issue Date or the date of any increase in Specified Amount. Depending on the Account Value at the time you are considering Surrender, there may be little or no Cash Surrender Value payable to you. Surrender of a Policy while a Policy Loan is outstanding could result in significant tax consequences. A surrender before age 59 ½ may also result in tax penalties. Following a full Surrender, all your rights in the Policy end, and the Policy may not be reinstated.

Partial Withdrawal Risks [Member]  
Prospectus:  
Principal Risk [Text Block]

 

Partial Withdrawal Risks

Upon a partial withdrawal from your Policy, we will deduct a Partial Withdrawal Charge. This fee will be deducted from the Investment Options and in the same allocation as your partial withdrawal allocation instruction; if that is not possible (due to insufficient value in one of the Investment Options you elect) or you have not given such instructions, we will deduct this fee on a Pro-Rata basis from balances in all Subaccounts and the Fixed Account. Partial withdrawals may reduce the amount of the death benefit. In some cases, such as when the Policy's death benefit is driven by the Corridor Factor, the death benefit may be reduced by more than the amount of the partial withdrawal. Taxes and tax penalties may apply.

Lapse Risks [Member]  
Prospectus:  
Principal Risk [Text Block]

 

Lapse Risks

If the Cash Surrender Value is not sufficient to pay charges when due, your Policy can terminate, or "lapse." This can happen if you have not paid enough premiums or if the Investment Options you selected experienced poor performance or because of a combination of both factors. This can happen even if you pay the Planned Periodic Premiums. You will be given a "grace period" within which to make additional premium payments to keep the Policy from lapsing. You will have a 61-day "grace period" to make a premium payment to continue your Policy. If your Policy lapses, your insurance coverage will terminate; you may be given the opportunity to reinstate the Policy by making the required premium payments and satisfying certain other conditions.

 

Since partial withdrawals reduce your Account Value, partial withdrawals increase the risk of lapse. Taking a Policy Loan also increases the risk of lapse.

Lapse Risks Continued [Member]  
Prospectus:  
Principal Risk [Text Block]

 

If the Policy lapses because a grace period ended without a sufficient payment being made, you may reinstate it within five years of the date of lapse, so long as the Insured is Attained Age 80 or less and the requirements of reinstatement are met, including evidence of insurability. For more information see REINSTATEMENT under LAPSE AND REINSTATEMENT.

Death Benefit Risks [Member]  
Prospectus:  
Principal Risk [Text Block]

 

Death Benefit Risks

Death benefit proceeds are reduced by any Policy Loan Balance, Lien Balance, and any Monthly Deductions due but unpaid at death. Depending upon your choice of death benefit option, adverse performance of the Investment Options you choose may decrease your Policy's death benefit. In some cases, such as when the Policy's death benefit is driven by the Corridor Factor, the death benefit may be reduced by more than the amount of the partial withdrawal.

Policy Loan Risks [Member]  
Prospectus:  
Principal Risk [Text Block]

 

Policy Loan Risks

A Policy Loan, whether or not repaid, will affect the Cash Surrender Value of your Policy over time. We will transfer all Policy Loan amounts from the Subaccounts and the Fixed Account to a Loan Account. The Loan Account does not participate in the investment experience of the Investment Options or receive any higher current interest rate credited to the Fixed Account.

 

The larger a Policy Loan Balance becomes relative to the Policy's Cash Surrender Value, the greater the risk that the Policy's Cash Surrender Value will not be sufficient to support the Policy's charges and expenses, including any loan interest due, and the greater the risk of the Policy lapsing. Any Policy Loan interest payable on a Policy Anniversary that you do not pay will become part of the outstanding Policy Loan principal and will also accrue interest.

 

Further, the death benefit is reduced by the amount of any outstanding Policy Loan and accrued Policy Loan interest.

 

Your Policy may lapse if your outstanding Policy Loan and accrued Policy Loan interest reduce the Cash Surrender Value to zero. There is a tax risk associated with outstanding debt. If you Surrender your Policy or your Policy lapses while there is an outstanding Policy Loan, there will generally be Federal income tax payable on the amount by which Policy Loans and partial withdrawals exceed the premiums paid. Since Policy Loans reduce your Policy’s Account Value, any remaining Account Value may be insufficient to pay the income tax due and may cause the need for additional premium to keep your Policy in force.

Limitations On Access To Cash Value [Member]  
Prospectus:  
Principal Risk [Text Block]

 

Limitations on Access to Cash Value

There is no minimum Policy Loan amount. We limit partial withdrawals to a minimum of $100, and require you to have not less than an amount to maintain the Policy in force for the next three months following the partial withdrawal and provided your Specified Amount of coverage meets required levels. Policy Loans may only be taken if your Cash Surrender Value; less Policy Loan interest on the Policy Loan Balance including the requested Policy Loan to the next Annual Date; less Monthly Deductions, is sufficient to keep your Policy in force for the next three months. We may defer making a Policy Loan for up to six months unless the Policy Loan is to pay premiums to us. We can postpone payments or any transfers out of a Subaccount if (i) the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) is closed for other than customary weekend and holiday closings; (ii) trading on the NYSE is restricted; (iii) an emergency exists as determined by the SEC; or (iv) the SEC permits delay for the protection of security holders. We may defer payments of a full or partial Surrender from the Fixed Account for up to six months from the date we received your Written Notice requesting the Surrender and receive approval from the department of insurance of the State where the Policy is delivered. The applicable rules of the SEC will govern as to whether the conditions in (iii) or (iv) exist. Even if you pay Planned Periodic Premiums, your Policy could lapse if the Cash Surrender Value is not enough to pay the Monthly Deduction. However, your Policy will stay in force for the first 10 Policy years if you meet the Minimum No-Lapse Premium requirements.

Transfer Risks [Member]  
Prospectus:  
Principal Risk [Text Block]

 

Transfer Risks

There is a risk that you will not be able to transfer your Account Value from one Investment Option to another because of limits on the dollar amount or frequency of transfers you can make which the portfolio companies impose. We are required to restrict or prohibit transfer by Policy Owners identified as having engaged in transactions that violate fund trading policies. You should read each portfolio company's prospectus for further details. Limitations on transfers out of the Fixed Account are more restrictive than those that apply to transfers out of the Subaccounts.

 

To discourage disruptive frequent trading activity, we impose restrictions on transfers (See the Disruptive Trading Procedures section) and reserve the right to change, suspend or terminate telephone, fax and Internet transaction privileges (See the Transfers section). In addition, we reserve the right to take other actions at any time to restrict trading, including, but not limited to: (i) restricting the number of transfers made during a defined period, (ii) restricting the dollar amount of transfers, and (iii) restricting transfers into and out of certain Subaccounts. We also reserve the right to defer a transfer at any time we are unable to purchase or redeem shares of the underlying portfolio.

 

While we seek to identify and prevent disruptive frequent trading activity, it may not always be possible to do so. Therefore, no assurance can be given that the restrictions we impose will be successful in preventing all disruptive frequent trading and avoiding harm to long-term investors.

Potential For Increased Charges [Member]  
Prospectus:  
Principal Risk [Text Block]

 

Potential for Increased Charges

The actual charges deducted are current charges on your Policy. However, we have the right to increase those charges at any time up to the guaranteed maximum charges as stated in your Policy.

Market Timing Risks [Member]  
Prospectus:  
Principal Risk [Text Block]

 

Market Timing Risks

Investments in variable life insurance products can be a prime target for abusive transfer activity because these products value their Subaccounts on a daily basis and allow transfers among Subaccounts without immediate tax consequences. As a result, some investors may seek to frequently transfer into and out of Subaccounts in reaction to market news or to exploit a perceived pricing inefficiency. Whatever the reason, long-term investors in a Subaccount can be harmed by frequent transfer activity since such activity may expose the Investment Option's underlying portfolio to increased portfolio transaction costs and/or disrupt the portfolio manager’s ability to effectively manage the portfolio’s investments in accordance with the portfolio’s investment objectives and policies, both of which may result in dilution with respect to interests held for long-term investment.

Tax Risks [Member]  
Prospectus:  
Principal Risk [Text Block]

 

Tax Risks

We believe the Policy qualifies as a life insurance contract for Federal tax purposes; so that death benefits for individually owned life insurance generally are not subject to income tax, and you should not be considered in constructive receipt of the Cash Surrender Value, including any increases in Cash Surrender Value, unless and until it is distributed from the Policy. Other federal and state taxes may apply. In general, you will be taxed on the amount of a distribution if it exceeds the investment in the Policy (premiums paid). Any taxable distributions are treated as ordinary income (rather than as capital gains) for tax purposes.

 

In order for you to receive the tax benefits extended to life insurance under the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code"), your Policy must comply with certain requirements of the Code. We will monitor your Policy for compliance with these requirements, but a Policy might fail to qualify as life insurance in spite of our monitoring. If this were to occur, you would be subject to income tax on the income credited to your Policy for the period of disqualification and all subsequent periods. Tax consequences of Ownership or receipt of Policy proceeds under federal, state and local estate, inheritance, gift and other tax laws can vary greatly depending upon the circumstances of each Owner or Beneficiary. There can also be unfavorable tax consequences on such things as the change of Policy Ownership or assignment of Ownership interests. Limits on premium payments and Treasury Department rules could also impact whether the Policy will qualify for the benefits extended to life insurance under the Code. There is no certainty that the expected benefits of life insurance, relative to other financial or investment products, will always continue to exist. We reserve the right to make such changes in the Policy as we deem necessary to assure it qualifies as a life insurance contract under the Code and continues to provide the tax benefits of such qualification.

 

Buying a Policy might not be advisable if it is just replacing existing life insurance. You may wish to consult with your financial or insurance professional.

Cybersecurity Risk [Member]

Cybersecurity Risk

We are at risk for cyber security failures or breaches of our information and processing systems and the systems of our business partners that could have negative impacts on you. These impacts include, but are not limited to, potential financial losses under your Policy, your inability to conduct transactions under your Policy, our inability to calculate your Policy’s values, and the disclosure of your personal or confidential information. For more information about these cyber security risks, see the Statement of Additional Information.

Restrictions On Financial Transactions [Member]  
Prospectus:  
Principal Risk [Text Block]

 

Restrictions on Financial Transactions

Applicable laws designed to counter terrorism and prevent money laundering might, in certain circumstances, require us to reject a premium payment and/or block or “freeze” your Policy. If these laws apply in a particular situation, we would not be allowed to process any request for withdrawals, Surrenders, Policy Loans or death benefits, make transfers or continue making payments under your death benefit option until instructions are received from the appropriate regulator. We also may be required to provide additional information about you or your Policy to government regulators.

Other Matters [Member]  
Prospectus:  
Principal Risk [Text Block]

 

Other Matters

Pandemics and their related major public health issues have a major impact on the global economy and financial markets. Governmental and non-governmental organizations may not effectively combat the spread and severity of such a pandemic, increasing its harm to Ameritas Life. Any of these events could materially adversely affect the Company’s operations, business, financial results, or financial condition.

Risk of Loss [Member]  
Prospectus:  
Risk [Text Block]

 You can lose money by investing in this Policy, including loss of your premiums (principal).

Not Short Term Investment Risk [Member]  
Prospectus:  
Risk [Text Block]  The Policy is designed to provide lifetime insurance protection. It is not a short-term investment and is not appropriate for an investor who needs ready access to cash. The Policy will usually be unsuitable for short-term savings or short-term life insurance needs. This Policy is not considered a short-term investment because of the 12-year Surrender Charge period and the possibility for a tax penalty at the time of Surrender. Due to the long-term nature of the Policy, you should consider whether purchasing the Policy is consistent with the purpose for which it is being considered.
Investment Options Risk [Member]  
Prospectus:  
Risk [Text Block]  An investment in the Policy is subject to the risk of poor investment performance and can vary depending on the performance of the Investment Options available under the Policy. Each Investment Option (including the Fixed Account) will have its own unique risks. You should review these Investment Options before making an investment decision. The Fixed Account is subject to the financial strength and claims paying ability of the Company.
Insurance Company Risk [Member]  
Prospectus:  
Risk [Text Block]  An investment in the Policy is subject to the risks related to the Company including that any obligations (including under the Fixed Account Investment Option), guarantees, or benefits are subject to the claims-paying ability of the Company. Additional information about the Company, including its financial strength ratings, is available on its website, ameritas.com/about/financial-strength, or is available upon request by contacting our Service Center at 800-745-1112.
Contract Lapse Risk [Member]  
Prospectus:  
Risk [Text Block]  Your Policy will lapse if there are insufficient premium payments, poor investment performance, withdrawals, unpaid Policy Loans or Policy Loan interest. There is a cost associated with, and limitations on, reinstating a lapsed Policy. Death benefits will not be paid if the Policy has lapsed.
