- Other policies may have special features which allow flexibility as to premiums and coverage.
- Some let you choose the death benefit you want and the premium amount you can pay.
- The kind of insurance and coverage period are determined by these choices.
- One kind of flexible premium policy, often called Universal Life, lets you vary your premium payments every year, and even skip a payment if you wish.
- The premiums you pay less expense charges) go into a policy account that earns interest, and charges for the insurance are deducted from the account.
- Here, insurance continues as long as there is enough money in the account to pay the insurance charges.

- Market regulators should also be aware that sales of products, such as fixed-index annuities (formerly referred to as equity-indexed annuities) and index life insurance products (such as universal index life insurance) continue to increase.
- These products typically include features that require an understanding of bonuses, guaranteed elements and an array of interest-crediting methods.
- In some cases, existing NAIC model laws and regulations may not give specific guidance on all aspects of all products.
