NEW YORK, August 7, 2018 – American International Group, Inc. (NYSE: AIG) announced the availability, in the State of New York, of Max Accumulator+ index universal life (IUL) insurance, issued by The United States Life Insurance Company in the City of New York (US Life). Unique attributes of the new cash value accumulation IUL insurance solution include a non-medical underwriting option, daily policy issuance from the first through the 28th of each month, and an e-application processing option via AG Quick Ticket®, the online submission tool for selected life insurance products offered by AIG. “Non-medical underwriting” as described in this announcement means that no in-person paramedical examination will be required of an applicant for life insurance.
“Non-medical underwriting of Max Accumulator+ is designed to facilitate a substantially decreased underwriting cycle time and a less-intrusive application process for proposed insureds who qualify, as there’s no need for a physical exam, lab tests or an attending physician statement,” said Mark Peterson, Executive Vice President and Chief Distribution Officer, Life Insurance, AIG Financial Distributors. “For financial professionals, non-medical underwriting results in easier processing, with fewer requirements to gather than traditional underwriting, and quicker turnaround times, especially when submitting applications through AG Quick Ticket.”

For cases that fall within predetermined guidelines, non-medical underwriting is available for clients ages 18-50 up to the Preferred Plus non-tobacco underwriting class for policies with face amounts of $50,000-$499,999.1,2AG Quick Ticket is available for e-app processing on all face amounts and on non-medically underwritten policies, although paper applications also are accepted. The daily policy issuance for approved Max Accumulator+ IUL insurance applications helps further expedite processing.
Max Accumulator+ policies feature two index interest account strategies: a participation rate account based on the S&P 500® index and a cap rate account based on the S&P 500 index. Both strategies offer account value enhancements beginning at year six.
Numerous other features are designed to help maximize cash value in the policies. Additionally, multiple options exist for accessing cash value in the policies, including through lifetime benefit riders.
