Living longer means you need
protection for more than just your
family. You need it for yourself.
Dear Client:
People are living longer than ever before. While there are many benefits to a longer life, you need
to prepare yourself for it financially. A longer life also means that you may be more likely to be
impacted by a chronic or terminal illness.

Enhance Your Death Benefit Protection with an Optional Accelerated Death Benefit Rider that
Addresses Chronic and Terminal Illness Needs
P
M
A PruLife® Universal Protector policy issued by Pruco Life Insurance Company [or in New York by
Pruco Life Insurance Company of New Jersey] can offer you and your loved ones much-needed
death benefit protection. And, with the new BenefitAccess Rider, it can now offer you an additional
layer of financial protection if you develop a chronic or terminal illness in the future.
How BenefitAccess Can Help You
A
S
• You purchase a Universal Protector policy with the BenefitAccess Rider included (at an
additional cost). Additional underwriting requirements apply.
• If, at any point in the future while your policy is still in force, you are certified as chronically
or terminally ill by a licensed health care professional and meet the terms and conditions of
the rider, you can then accelerate your policy’s death benefit. The BenefitAccess Rider is not
long-term care insurance. Accelerating the policy’s death benefit may reduce and possibly
eliminate the death benefit amount of the policy.
• You can then use this money to pay for medical care, pay a family member who is providing
at-home care, or many other expenses you may have.
The rider features two components that offer you protection:
1. Chronic Illness
2. Terminal Illness
Each works differently from one another but, when combined, they give you access to the death
benefit should you suffer a chronic or terminal illness.

The BenefitAccess Rider is available for an extra premium. Additional underwriting requirements and
limits may also apply. Obtaining benefits under the terms of the rider will reduce and may eliminate the
death benefit.
Benefits paid under the BenefitAccess Rider are intended to be treated for federal tax purposes as
accelerated life insurance death benefits under IRC §101(g)(1)(b). Tax laws related to the receipt of
accelerated death benefits are complex and may be taxable in certain circumstances. Receipt of benefits
may affect eligibility for public assistance programs such as Medicaid. Accelerated benefits paid under
the terms of the Terminal Illness portion of the rider are subject to a $150 ($100 in Florida) processing
fee. You should consult your tax and legal advisors prior to initiating any claim.
A licensed heath care practitioner must certify the chronic or terminal illness to qualify for the benefits.
Chronic illness claims will require recertification by a licensed health care practitioner. Other terms and
conditions may apply. This rider is not long-term care (LTC) insurance and it is not intended to replace
LTC. The rider may not cover all of the costs associated with chronic illness. The rider is a life insurance
accelerated death benefit product, is generally not subject to health insurance requirements, and may not
be available in all states.
The policy form number for the BenefitAccess Rider is ICC13 or VL 145 B-2013 followed by a state code.
PruLife® Universal Protector is issued by Pruco Life Insurance Company in all states except New York,
where it is issued by Pruco Life Insurance Company of New Jersey. Both are Prudential Financial
companies located at 213 Washington Street, Newark, NJ 07102. Each is solely responsible for its own
financial condition and contractual obligations. The policy form number is ULNLG-2013 (followed by the
state abbreviation). Like most insurance policies, our policies contain exclusions, limitations, reductions
of benefits, and terms for keeping them in force. Your financial professional can provide you with costs
and complete details.
All guarantees and benefits of the insurance policy are backed by the claims-paying ability of the issuing
insurance company and do not apply to the underlying investment options. Policy guarantees and benefits
are not backed by the broker/dealer and/or insurance agency selling the policy, nor by any of their affiliates,
and none of them makes any representations or guarantees regarding the claims-paying ability of the
issuing company.
