Washington National in the News
In June 2011, Washington National announced the addition of a new term life program to its existing portfolio of insurance products. This new program combines the benefits of traditional term insurance with enhancements for those with critical illnesses. The program focuses on wage earners during their peak earning years.
The new policy provides level benefits and short or long-term coverage options until a worker reaches the age of 65. It also features lump sum payments up to $3000, which would help to defray expenses due to a sudden serious illness. These payments would have no effect on future death benefits.
