National Life Group® is more than the products we sell. We’ve taken a page from great educators across the country and choose to do business from the inside out engaging in work that matters – in work that changes the world. Similarly, we also recognize the best way to work with people and achieve results is to meet them where they are.
We work hard to help families and individuals obtain the protection they need, the retirement they deserve and live a life with passion and purpose. In an industry where competitors are shifting to do-it-yourself models, we continue to believe in and provide a high touch model. The result is improving the lives of our policy holders for years and years by continuing to make good on our promises. One particular way we do that is with our Guaranteed Lifetime Income Rider that was developed to help retirees worry less about outliving their savings. It offers a Guaranteed1 stream of income in retirement that you cannot outlive.
Take Francis Hicks, a widow, who activated her Guaranteed Lifetime Income Rider (GLIR) in 2013. Mrs. Hicks, had that exact worry when her husband passed away unexpectedly. She was a homemaker who was passionate about family and golf. So when her husband passed, she felt like she was stuck in a sand trap on the 9th hole. Not knowing where to turn, she asked a friend for direction. That friend, a public school teacher, referred her to an agent, and the rest is her story.
“Everything was different for me without my husband. He was my bedrock, my soul mate. He took care of everything for me – including all the finances, the car stuff, etc.,” exclaimed Mrs. Hicks.
“A friend recommended I talk to her advisor. I am so glad I did. I purchased an annuity with a guaranteed lifetime income rider. It really allowed me to stop worrying so much about money and enjoy my life. I was able to maintain my lifestyle and continue playing golf with the ladies. “
Her husband’s passing is not the end of the story though. Within a year, Mrs. Hicks suffered some medical events that limited her activities substantially. With the changes in her health, her expense increased, and again she was worried about how it would impact her overall financial picture. Working with the same agent, she was able to increase in her lifetime income payments by activating the enhanced benefit feature of her annuity policy. Mrs. Hick’s experience highlights the nature of our commitment to honoring the promises we make and helping people achieve and keep the American Dream.
Making good on our promises is why people choose to do business with National Life Group – it’s what matters most to us and to our policy holders.
