Effective June 14, 2021, Lincoln is announcing pricing updates to Lincoln LifeElements® Level Term (2019) which will improve competitive positioning in key cells. Lincoln LifeElements® Level Term life insurance offers both a traditional paper application process and a streamlined Tele-App process for electronic and paper ticket submissions.
Pricing Updates
- Goals of the reprice include being a “top 3 carrier” in the following non-tobacco, core cells for all term periods:
- Face amounts $1M, ages 41 and above
- Face amounts of $500k – $999k, ages 55 and above
- Along with this pricing update, the monthly modal factor has been reduced. This results in a 1.7% decrease for monthly premiums, in addition to any other rate changes.
- Premium updates will be a mix of both decreases and increases
