Annual Cash Refund

The AICPA-endorsed Trust Life, Disability, and Group Variable Universal Life (GVUL) Plans, issued by The Prudential Insurance Company of America (Prudential), can offer insurance protection that helps provide security at affordable rates and the opportunity for Annual Cash Refunds.

 

Annual Cash Refunds may help lower your cost of insurance. The AICPA Insurance Trust (Trust) reviews a number of factors in determining the amount, if any, of Annual Cash Refunds, such as premiums, claims, expenses, and other charges.  These refunds vary year to year and are not guaranteed.  The Trust has paid Annual Cash Refunds every year since each Life Insurance Plan's inception, and since 1984 for each Disability Insurance Plan.  However, the Trust may suspend the distribution of Annual Cash Refunds at any time.  These refunds could vary based on a number of factors, such as your rate class, payment mode, engagement in certain wellness programs, and the premium you pay. Please note, when premiums are lowered, refunds may decrease as well.

PLEASE NOTE– The participant receiving their Annual Cash Refund by check acknowledges and agrees that in order to obtain the Annual Cash Refund, if any, all Annual Cash Refund checks must be presented for payment according to the terms and procedures set forth in this paragraph. Without limiting the foregoing, Annual Cash Refund checks shall be deemed null and void if not duly presented for payment by, or on behalf of, the participant or former participant by the expiration date (not to be less than 180 days from the date of issuance) set forth on the face of the check. If a participant fails to timely present for payment an Annual Cash Refund check according to this provision and has not, prior to the expiration of the initial Annual Cash Refund check, requested re-issuance of such check, the full amount of the Annual Cash Refund shall be applied toward any of the participant’s contribution payments due; if no contribution payments are due or owing by the participant at the time the Annual Cash Refund check expires, the Annual Cash Refund amount shall be applied toward future contributions as they become due, until the participant receives the full Annual Cash Refund amount. Except as otherwise provided in this agreement, upon termination of coverage under the applicable trust, nothing herein shall limit a participant’s right to receive a full Annual Cash Refund of any unearned contributions or unapplied portion of expired Annual Cash Refunds.
