Help make sure that they are protected in the event of a chronic illness with the Accelerated Access Solution available on our IUL products.

This benefit can help your clients be better prepared for life’s unexpected expenses.

• Cash Value to supplement retirement income, or to help with other financial goals

Postponed: Real-Time Offer for Life Insurance

Previously, we communicated that Real-Time Offer was scheduled for launch with life insurance ticket submissions on June 13, 2022. As LFG makes final preparations for this exciting new capability, the decision has been made to postpone the launch of Real-Time Offer to later this summer to ensure they are delivering the best possible experience for financial professionals and clients. Additional updates will be provided in an upcoming Lincoln Leader.

Lincoln’s guidelines for nonmedical conditions that prompt the need for labs/vitals have been updated to offer consideration for more clients. The following conditions will no longer trigger labs to be ordered for eligible ticket submissions:

• Private pilot without Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) qualification

Lab-Free consideration is available for life insurance Term, IUL and VUL ticket submissions for qualifying clients ages 18- 60 with face amounts $2,500,000 or less.
