Life Policy ProvisionsQuestion 417 of 716

Under the fixed amount settlement option, the beneficiary receives:

a.A chosen dollar amount per payment until the proceeds and interest are fully used up
b.The entire benefit in one single payment
c.Only the interest the proceeds earn each year
d.Guaranteed payments of a set amount each month for the rest of the beneficiary's lifetime

Explanation

With the fixed amount option, the beneficiary (or owner) selects the dollar amount of each installment, and payments of that amount continue until the proceeds plus interest are exhausted, so the number of payments varies. Lifetime payments describe the life income option. Interest-only payments describe the interest only option. A single payment is a lump sum. Fixed amount fixes the payment size and lets the duration float, the mirror image of the fixed period option.
