Eligible policyholders may get some of the participating account earnings as dividends.

Every year, we look at how much was earned by the participating account. Many factors, like the death benefits we paid and how our investments did, can affect the earnings of the participating account. We use a formula called a dividend scale to figure out how much of the earnings can be paid as dividends. Each year, we make sure the dividend scale reflects in the performance of the participating account. Using the dividend scale, we determine the dividend payment. If a dividend is declared, it will get paid towards eligible policies.

Dividends are not guaranteed. Dividends are paid at the sole discretion of the Board of Directors.
