High Financial Strength Rating

Country Financial has consistently earned high financial strength ratings from A.M. Best. This track record of high ratings is an indicator of Country Financial's stability and ability to meet its claims obligations.

These ratings are important to know when buying life insurance because you'll want to be sure the company will pay the death benefit when your beneficiaries make a claim. 

Thorough Coverage Options

Country Financial encourages customers to get life insurance so they can financially protect the ones they love. Country Financial offers three kinds of protection:

• Term
• Whole 
• Universal

A term life policy is an easy and affordable option. Customers can choose a death benefit beneficiary who can use the life insurance money to help take care of their children, pay the mortgage, help pay for a college education, and settle debts.

Country Financial's term policies have length options of 10, 20, and 30 years. You can choose coverage amounts ranging between $50,000 and $1,000,000.

You can also customize your term policy with the following riders:

• Child term insurance — Term coverage for all of the insured's children age 0-17 with a $50,000 coverage limit. These policies are also convertible to a permanent policy when the children turn 23.
• Return of premium rider — Allows you to receive the premiums of the policy once the term ends and no claim was made.
• Disability waiver of premium — Allows you to keep the policy without paying premiums if you become disabled.
• Accelerated death benefit — Pays out part of the death benefit early if the insured is diagnosed with a terminal illness.

These riders offer additional protection and value to your policy to provide comprehensive coverage tailored to your needs.

Country Financial's permanent life insurance options are: whole and universal life insurance. Both policies last a lifetime as long as premiums are paid. These policies also accrue cash value that can be used as an asset while you're still living.

Country Financial's whole life policy offers five payment schedule options. You can pay level premiums until age 95, level premium for 10 years, level premium for 20 years, level premiums until age 65, or purchase a policy with a single lump sum. These options allow you to choose a payment plan that meets your needs.

You can customize your insurance policy with the same riders as the term policy, except the return of premium rider. Additional policy riders include: 

• Additional term insurance — Buy term life insurance for yourself or your spouse. This policy can also be converted to a whole life policy later.
• Guaranteed insurability option — Allows you to buy more coverage without medical exams with certain age and amount restrictions outlined in the policy.
• Index dividend feature — Gives you the chance to increase your dividend payment if its index is doing well and you've allocated the dividend to the index.

Country Financial's whole life policy automatically includes an accelerated death benefit and the index feature riders.

Universal life insurance offers more flexibility with premium payments and cash value investment options. The policyholder also accepts more risk with the cash value accrual, which results in lower premiums.

Country Financial offers more limited information on its universal life insurance policies, but it includes an accelerated death benefit rider. You can also add child term life insurance or a waiver of specified premium (waives set portion of premium if you become disabled).
