Monumental Life Insurance Products

Life insurance products include term and whole life programs, and a special interest accumulation product. Monumental provides several flexible options for its term life programs, depending on whether the policyholder desires to maintain level premiums or the cash value of each individual policy. Whole life programs provide the greatest security and guarantees.

Why Life Insurance?

Especially in difficult economic times, it can be difficult for consumers to justify the monthly expense for life insurance premiums. However, most would agree that life insurance policies are established to provide benefits to those who are living.

For example, the proceeds from a typical term life insurance policy can be used to pay all or part of:

• Home mortgages
• Funeral and burial expenses
• Outstanding personal or business loans

Proceeds can also serve as income replacement or for educational expenses for dependent children.

The best times to think about acquiring life insurance are when your circumstances change through natural or extraordinary occurrences such as:

• When you get married or become a parent
• When you separate, move to a new home, or get divorced
• When you change jobs or retire
• When you become a grandparent or lose a loved one

Additional Monumental Life products fall into the following main categories:

• Annuity programs underwritten by the Transamerica division
• Health and accident insurance
• Mortgage protection plans available for 15-year and 30-year terms
• Hospitalization and term care

Cancer policies help consumers deal with and manage the often large expenses associated with cancer treatment. Monumental offers two distinct programs. The first is a cancer expense program, which covers specific medical expenses. The second, a cancer check program, provides the policyholder with large cash payments, allowing the recipients to cover additional expenses as the need arises. The amount of these benefits can be between $5,000 and $50,000 and may vary state by state.

Structured settlement programs are no longer offered by Aegon, but current payees may obtain service assistance by viewing listings at www.aegonstructuredsettlements.com
