Single Premium Immediate AnnuitySingle Premium Introductionis a contract between you and United Heritage Life Insurance Company. By paying a single sum of money to United Heritage, you are guaranteed to receive a series of payments over a specified period of time, or for the rest of your life. The amount of the payments you receive is determined by the interest rate set by United Heritage at the time your contract is issued and by your election of the settlement options available. Once your contract is issued, your payments are guaranteed for the duration of your contract. Tax Favored Payments
When a Single Premium Immediate Annuity is funded with after-tax dollars, a portion of each payment you receive is tax-free. The tax-free portion of each payment is the return of your previously taxed principal. Guaranteed IncomeOnce your contract is issued, you will have the peace of mind of knowing that your payments will not decrease or change until your contract ends. You will enjoy the financial security of a guaranteed income. Economic conditions may change, but your payments are guaranteed to remain the same.

You may choose to have the payments increase annually by 1%, 2%, 3%, 4%, or 5%. This election is made at the time of application, and the COLA chosen remains the same for the duration of the Single Premium Immediate Annuity. The COLA option allows you to receive an income stream that will enable you to contend with the rising costs of living in the future. Convenience & No Investment Risk
