Effective June 14, 2021, Lincoln is announcing pricing updates to Lincoln TermAccel® Level Term (2019) which will improve competitive positioning in key cells. Lincoln TermAccel® life insurance offers an entirely electronic, streamlined interview process with fully automated underwriting and no APS requirement.
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 of $500k – $1M, ages 40 – 60
- 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
