Please read and complete the following information in order to comply with Federal Income Tax law.
Certification — Under Penalties Of Perjury, I Certify That:
1. The number shown on this form is my correct Social Security/Taxpayer Identification Number (or I am waiting for a
number to be issued to me), and
2. I am not subject to backup withholding because (a) I am exempt from backup withholding, or (b) I have not been
notified by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) that I am subject to backup withholding as a result of a failure to report all
interest or dividends, or (c) the IRS has notified me that I am no longer subject to backup withholding.

Method Of Payment —
1. Payment by Check
Funds under $25,000, and for policies issued in and for residents of California, Florida, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland and
Rhode Island, payment will be made in a lump sum, by check to the policyholder unless requested otherwise.
2. Payment by SSA
Beneficiaries may receive their funds of $25,000 and above via Standard Secure Access (SSA) in accordance with the terms of
the group policy. SSA is a convenient, interest-bearing checking account in which life insurance proceeds are deposited. With
SSA, you are able to earn interest on the life insurance proceeds while taking the time to weigh important financial decisions
that often follow the death of a loved one.
The Beneficiary will be mailed a checkbook, once the claim is approved. In addition, all SSA accountholders have access to
24-hour customer service via a voice response unit (VRU) and a dedicated customer service team.
If you decide to assign a portion of your benefits to a funeral home, please include a notarized assignment form (supplied by
the funeral home) and an itemized copy of the funeral bill. A separate check for the amount of the assignment will be delivered
directly to the funeral home.
Acknowledgement
I hereby certify that the answers I have made to the foregoing questions are both complete and true to the best of my knowledge and belief. I acknowledge
that I have read the fraud notice on page 6 of this form.
