Underwriting Guide
It is the responsibility of the Underwriting Department to properly evaluate all
applicants for insurance coverage. This requires sound, underwriting practices consistent with Foresters FinancialTM philosophy for the selection of risks. In order to provide the best possible service, Foresters Underwriting Team must also rely on the producer to develop complete and accurate information at point of sale.
This manual is a guide intended to help the producer understand the probable underwriting action for commonly encountered medical histories. Naturally, the final action on an application is the decision of the Underwriter, based upon the varying circumstances that each particular case may present. It is important to recognize that the underwriting guide is meant as a basis for decision-making, and that other factors, including Foresters Underwriter’s judgment, may affect the final decision.

You are an important part of the underwriting process and as participant in the sale, processing, underwriting and issue of our life insurance certificates we want you to be familiar with our underwriting philosophy and practices. Attention to these guidelines will help to speed up certificate issue and to explain underwriting decisions when the policy is placed.
The most important step in the underwriting process is accurate detailed answers to all questions on the application. It is important that the application show detailed health history for all proposed insureds to assure that it may be underwritten in an accurate and timely manner. Failure to properly record complete and accurate information could result in either unnecessary delays or serious problems at time of claim. PRODUCT INFORMATION
Individual life insurance coverage is provided by Foresters Financial™, a trade name and trademark of The Independent Order of Foresters (a fraternal benefit society, 789 Don Mills Road, Toronto, Ontario Canada, M3C 1T9) and its subsidiaries.
Underwriting guidelines, procedures and forms may vary by type of life insurance and state. Be sure to consult all materials relative to your specific product and state. By following the procedures outlined in this manual and the marketing guidelines you will maximize your percentage of issued life insurance applications. FIELD UNDERWRITING
As an appointed producer you are authorized to solicit, write applications and otherwise transact the business of insurance in any state where you are both properly licensed by the state and authorized by Foresters to conduct business.
As an appointed producer you may not solicit applications in any manner prohibited by or inconsistent with the provisions of Foresters rules, regulations, or policies. If you have any questions regarding any type of solicitation transaction please contact your agency or refer to Foresters “ezbiz” Solicitation Rules in the Contracting Section.
The following practices are not acceptable:
1. Applications altered or corrected with regard to the signature of the proposed insured, the date signed, the city and state of the applicant, the producer’s signature, or any changes to information deemed to be material to the issuance of the certificate, unless initialed by all parties to the contract (Agent, Owner and Proposed Insured).
2. Paper applications with a stamped signature rather than handwritten ink signatures. Good Field Underwriting is critical to the success Insurance Operations, and consists of more than just careful questioning of the proposed insured.
The following suggestions should help you and your clients in obtaining coverage as quickly as possible and on the most equitable basis:
1. Furnish complete information on past medical history to include date of first diagnosis, type of treatment, dates and physician information.
2. If medical history is involved, identify the disease or condition for which treatment was obtained. 3. Complete all underwriting questionnaires as appropriate. Do not underestimate the proposed insured’s knowledge of the diagnosed condition or the reason for the operation or treatment.
1. The writing producer is never authorized to disregard a proposed insured’s answers, or to impose his or her judgment as to what is or is not important to record. The writing producer is never authorized to approve or alter an application for the proposed insured. 2. Only the Underwriting Team can make the final decision; therefore, never suggest or promise that coverage will be issued.
Producer Use Only – Page 3 of 23 503325 US (07/21) FINANCIAL UNDERWRITING GUIDELINES
Income replacement and estate protection are two important factors in determining the total amount of insurance (applied for and in-force) the applicant is eligible for. Income Replacement
An income factor may be used to determine the total amount of insurance an applicant is eligible for. AGE MULTIPLIER OF EARNED INCOME
18 - 30 30
31 - 40 25
41 - 50 20
51 - 60 15
61 - 65 10
66 and up 5
Earned income includes income from salary, commissions and bonuses. It doesn’t include investment, pending, interest, retirement or rental income.
Estate Protection
This is generally meant to preserve the proposed insured’s net worth by covering any federal, and if applicable, state estate or inheritance taxes. This is determined on a case by case basis. Factors used to determine the amount of coverage include:
• the value of the estate and the anticipated future value of the estate
• the state of residence and the anticipated estate taxes taking into consideration the federal exemption and current federal and, if applicable, state law. Non-income Earning Spouse
We evaluate the insurance needs for a non-income earning spouse on an individual basis. Some factors we consider are:
• the amount of household income
• the amount of coverage on the income earning spouse. The non-income earner should not have more coverage than the working spouse unless the working spouse is uninsurable
• The number of dependents
Juvenile Underwriting
Most children and students do not need a significant amount of insurance since they do not have estates, pay taxes or have income to replace. When submitting applications on children or students, the following information will be required:
• Provide the amount of insurance each sibling, if any, has.
• An explanation will be required if the amount of insurance varies between siblings
• Amount of insurance in-force on the parents. Generally, a parent must have double the amount of insurance inforce than applied for on the child
In addition, when submitting applications for students or recent graduates, provide the following information:
• Area of study and expected graduation date
• Anticipated future earnings
• Family net worth
Some of the cases may not fit into the parameters above but we are willing to work with you to understand the special circumstances of each case. For complicated financial cases or when you cannot use the information above to justify the amount of insurance applied for or in-force, a Financial Needs Analysis along with a cover letter describing the financial need for your client will be beneficial. Producer Use Only – Page 4 of 23 503325 US (07/21) RESIDENCE/CITIZENSHIP
The applicant’s primary residence must be in a state where the product is approved for sale, state of solicitation or residence. Check the product availability maps on our agent website https://portal.foresters.biz/ for availability details. Foresters will consider applicants between the ages of 18 and 70 years old with a valid Green Card and select Visa’s. Please refer to the Immigration Guidelines document on the agent website for full details. FOREIGN TRAVEL
Travel in the course of business or pleasure will be considered up to and including 12 weeks. Underwriting foreign travel/residency will vary depending on international risks and how changes in political, security and health “environments” could impact the risk in that area. It is advisable to call Underwriting for a more accurate risk assessment as travel advisories are always changing. Coverage is not available for applicants planning to reside in a foreign country indefinitely. MILITARY
Foresters welcomes applications from active duty military personnel (as long as the solicitation, application completion or sale did not occur on a military installation) and each case will be underwritten based on individual consideration and state laws. State regulations require the use of point of sale disclosure documents when selling to active duty military personnel. Insurance will not be offered to individuals who have been deployed or have received notice of deployment. It is also important to note that Foresters is currently not registered to sell on military installations. Individuals on “Active Duty” or full-time duty in the active military service of the United States, including members of the National Guard and Reserves, while serving under published orders for a period for 31 days or more are not eligible for riders that have a War Exclusion Clause, including ADR, and Waiver of Premium Benefit. Please complete a Military Questionnaire or provide the following details on the application:
• Branch of service
• Present duty status
• Current rank
• Length of present assignment
• Military occupational specialty
• Indicate whether supplemental or hazardous duty pay based on duties is being collected
• Indicate whether the insured will be transferred overseas, if so, where?
• Indicate whether the insured will be transferred to a new unit
• Indicate whether the insured or their unit will be alerted for duty (if presently in Reserve of National Guard)
OCCUPATION
The occupation of a proposed insured is a major factor in their eligibility and many of those occupations may eliminate an applicant from qualifying for the basic product and possibly riders. Applicants with occupations that are exceptionally hazardous will be declined or rated, for example:
Any occupation that involves working above certain heights
Any occupation that involves handling explosives
Any occupation that involves handling hazardous materials Producer Use Only – Page 5 of 23 503325 US (07/21) AVOCATIONS
Examples of recreational activities that may eliminate a proposed insured from Non-Medical Issue include:
Scuba diving. The decision depends primarily on the level of certification and depths. Please have applicant complete Scuba and Skin Diving Questionnaire.
Motorized racing (automobiles, motorcycles, boats). The decision depends on the level of competition, size and power of engine, etc.
Hang-gliding, skydiving. Please have applicant complete Aerial Sports Questionnaire.
Mountain/Rock Climbing. Please have applicant complete Climbing and Mountaineering Questionnaire. BENEFICIARY DESIGNATION
The beneficiaries must meet the insurable interest requirements under state insurance law. Please refer to Foresters “ezbiz” Beneficiary 101.
TEMPORARY INSURANCE AGREEMENT (TIA)
The TIA is a temporary insurance agreement that allows the proposed insured to have coverage during the underwriting process. It is available to the applicants who, on the date the application is being signed, are more than 15 days old but have not had their 71st birthday and for face amounts applied for up to a maximum of $1,000,000. The proposed insured must truthfully answer “No” to the 3 questions asked in the TIA agreement and provide their first month premium for the TIA to take effect. The maximum payout is the lesser of the face amount applied for or $500,000 PREFERRED SUBMISSIONS INSTRUCTIONS
Preferred rates are only available on fully underwritten plans (see Product Guide for face amount minimums).
Current testing and underwriting can only determine preferred status. Applicants cannot be expected to know if they qualify. All submissions will automatically be considered for preferred underwriting and issue based on the best insurance class available according to the preferred criteria (page 7).
AVOID DELAYS AND DISSATISFACTION: Even if the proposed insured appears to qualify for preferred rates, they may not. Foresters underwriting strongly advises that the producer collect the standard non-tobacco or tobacco premium with the application or prepare the client for the possibility of a non- preferred decision.
When ordering medical requirements, please ensure you select the correct company and location to ensure the completed information is received in a timely manner. Producer Use Only – Page 6 of 23 503325 US (07/21) NON-MEDICAL UNDERWRITING
Non-Medical underwriting requires answers to the Lifestyle Questions, Part1: Medical Questions and Other Insurance questions on the application. A Pharmacy and an MIB check will be run on every proposed insured. If the proposed insured does not qualify for Non-Medical rates, the application will be declined. In some situations, a new application will be required for a fully underwritten product. Non-Medical limits are based on the proposed insured’s current age and total non-medically underwritten insurance in force with Foresters and are as follows:
STRONG FOUNDATION NON-MEDICAL LIMITS
Age
Face Amount
Standard Substandard
18 - 55 $400,000 $300,000

OVERWEIGHT
Of significant importance in evaluating one’s insurability is the relationship of an individual’s height and weight. An overweight individual has an increased incidence of cardiovascular disease and renal disease. In addition, there is added stress to the weight bearing joints and bones. Obesity may also be associated with other disorders such as diabetes and other endocrine disorders.
UNDERWEIGHT
Underweight generally is of less significance than overweight concerning long-term disabilities and illnesses, however, abnormally thin individuals may have difficulty gaining weight because of nutritional deficiencies, or a chronic underlying disease. Frequently, thin individuals have a low resistance to acute illnesses. WEIGHT REDUCTION
When weight reduction has been accomplished, and the weight has been stable for one year, full credit will be given for weight loss. If there has been weight loss and the weight has not been stable for a period of 12 months, half credit will be given for the weight lost. Example: Female 5’7”, 231lbs; lost 36 lbs within 2 months. If current weight is 195 lbs, allow credit by adding 18 lbs, for a total of 213 lbs, before referencing the appropriate build table. ADULT Build Charts (16+) – Fully underwritten
