The death - benefit projections you see in a
policy's
original illustration are not binding or guaranteed, but you can be sure that what starts out as a $ 100,000
policy will pay your family more than that if you buy it when you're 60 and say goodbye at 90.
This is the amount of money you will receive in addition to the
original death benefit you purchased, which is listed as «base amount» or «guaranteed death benefit» on the
policy illustration and current
policy statement.
