What is Mutual of Omaha Living Promise?
Living Promise is whole life insurance issued by United of Omaha for final-expense planning. The official client highlight sheet distinguishes level and graded benefit plans; it is life insurance, not a funeral-goods contract.
Official product source · checked November 14, 2026Who is Mutual of Omaha Living Promise for?
People planning a lasting final-cost benefit can compare its premiums, health questions and full-benefit start date with other whole life options.
Official product source · checked November 14, 2026What issue ages and coverage amounts are documented?
The official client highlight sheet lists level benefit issue ages 45–85 and $2,000–$50,000 of coverage; Washington lists a $5,000 minimum. Graded benefit lists ages 45–80 and $2,000–$20,000, with a $5,000 minimum in Washington. An older official guide shows a different level maximum, so confirm the current state form before applying.
Official product source · checked November 14, 2026Is the benefit level, graded or modified, and is there a waiting period?
The client sheet says graded natural-cause death benefits during the first two years return premiums paid plus 10%; afterward the full benefit applies. Covered accidental death has full benefits in all years. The contract and exclusions still control.
Official product source · checked November 14, 2026What do the health questions mean in plain English?
The client sheet says no medical exam and that coverage depends on answers to health questions. The complete question wording was not verified; do not assume a controlled diagnosis receives level benefits.
Official product source · checked November 14, 2026Which riders are documented?
The client sheet describes an accelerated death benefit for qualifying terminal illness or nursing-home confinement, with state variations including Florida chronic-illness wording, and an optional accidental death benefit rider requiring extra premium. Verify availability and how acceleration reduces benefits.
Official product source · checked November 14, 2026Who may qualify, and who may not?
Eligibility depends on the exact application, underwriting and state form. A medical history, tobacco use or an amount outside the permitted range can change the available offer. We do not predict approval from a diagnosis or from the absence of an exam.
Official product source · checked November 14, 2026How does it compare with alternatives?
Compare the same purpose and amount, then check when full benefits start, health requirements, guaranteed costs and non-guaranteed values. These are alternatives to investigate, not claims that they cost less or guarantee acceptance.
How do I apply?
