Any such notication to The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company shall be effective only with respect to entries initiated
by The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company after receipt of such notication and a reasonable opportunity to act on it. I
understand that The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company is required to send a notication and a reasonable opportunity

SecureLine Interest-Bearing Checking Account (Not available in New York).
SecureLine is a service offered to help you manage insurance proceeds. With SecureLine, an account is established from the
proceeds payable on a policy administered by a Lincoln Financial Group
®
company (Lincoln). Lincoln’s contractual obligation
to pay those proceeds is satised by depositing the proceeds into your account. The Northern Trust Bank (Northern Trust)
administers your account on Lincoln’s behalf and the funds supporting your account are held within Lincoln’s general account.
Once your SecureLine account is opened, you will receive a personalized checkbook. If you decide you want the entire
proceeds immediately, you just need to write one check for the entire balance. Otherwise you can use this account for paying
expenses as they occur – while earning interest on your money. You can write as many checks as you wish. Each check must
be for at least $250 and the total of all checks written may not exceed your balance.

Interest Rates – Your SecureLine account starts earning interest the day the account is opened. Interest is compounded
daily and credited to your account on the last day of each month. The minimum rate credited is equal to the national average
for interest bearing checking accounts as published daily by Bloomberg, plus 1%. The Company may update that minimum
rate at our discretion. The interest will be updated monthly. You can nd the current interest rate that will be credited to your
account at www.lfg.com by clicking on the Quick Link “File a Claim”. You begin to earn interest the day the account is opened
and continue to earn interest until all the funds are withdrawn. The interest rate credited to your SecureLine account may be
more or less than the rate earned on funds held in Lincoln’s general account. Consider comparing this interest rate to your
bank account interest rate or consult your nancial professional to compare interest rates on comparable bank or mutual fund
accounts. Interest earned on your account balance may be taxable; IRS form 1099-INT will be sent in January of each year
to report taxable income. You should consult your tax advisor for more information.
Protection Of Deposits – Your money in your SecureLine account is protected because it is held in Lincoln’s general account
and is guaranteed by the full faith and credit of the Lincoln Financial Group
®
company that established your account. Because
your funds are not held in a federally-regulated bank, your funds are not protected by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporate
(FDIC). However, in the unlikely case of insolvency of Lincoln, your funds are protected by your state’s insurance guaranty
system. Contact the National Organization of Life and Health Guaranty Associations (http://nolhga.com; 703-481-5206) to
learn more about what limits might exist related to state insurance guaranty protection.
Monthly Statements – Each month you will receive a statement showing your current balance, withdrawals, interest credited
and any other activity. Cancelled checks are not returned with your statement.
Fees or Administrative Charges – There are no special fees for checks and no fees for monthly checking account service.
You will be charged a fee of $15 if you stop a payment and $10 if you present a check for payment without sufcient funds.
Additional checks may be ordered at no cost. Just contact a Customer Service Representative at Northern Trust at 1-800-
343-2551.
Minimum Balance – Your SecureLine account will remain open until your balance drops below $1000, at which time your
account will be automatically closed and a check for the remaining funds plus interest will be mailed to you.
Settlement Options - The Lincoln policy may provide you with other benet settlement options. You may choose to withdraw
the balance of your account and place it in another payment option offered by Lincoln. Contact a Customer Service
Representative at 800-423-2765 for more information.

account may be reported to your State as unclaimed property if the account has had no activity

Important Claim Process Information
In order to expedite the claim process, please see the following important claim process information when submitting a claim:
Proof of Loss:
All Life Claims must be accompanied by a Certied Death Certicate.
Accidental Death Benets:
If death resulted from anything other than Natural Causes (i.e. accident, homicide), a copy of the ofcial investigative report (i.e. police,
accident, re, FAA, OSHA) must accompany or follow the claim. AD&D benets cannot be paid on any claim without an investigative
report regarding the Insured Person’s /Dependent’s death. If your Group Contract contains an Alcohol/Drug Exclusion, a
Toxicology Report will be required. Please complete the Accidental Death Benet Information portion of the claim form to provide
background information regarding accident.
Payment Verication:
Groups should include the enrollment form, copies of any beneciary changes, absolute assignments or funeral assignments
when submitting a claim.
Beneciary is Deceased:
If the Primary Beneciary is no longer living - a Certied Death Certicate must accompany the claim before payment can
be made to the Contingent (secondary) Beneciary. If the Contingent (secondary) Beneciary is also deceased, a Certied Death
Certicate will also be required in order to pay certain relatives or the Estate, according to the contract.
Beneciary is an Estate:
Court documents of appointment must be forwarded to The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company before payment can be
made to an Estate. The documents of appointment must name the Personal Representative of the Estate (also called the Executor,
Executrix, Administrator or other similar title) to whom benets can be paid.
Beneciary is a Trust:
If payment is to be made to a Trust, a copy of the Trust Document must be provided with the claim. Such documents must
designate the Trustee to whom proceeds will be paid.
Beneciary is a Minor:
According to state law, a minor lacks capacity to sign a binding release of an insurance contract.
For this reason, life insurance benets are not directly payable to a minor beneciary. The following are options available when
the beneciary is a minor:
1. UTMA (Uniform Transfer to Minors Act) UTMA payment can be utilized providing that the benet amount including interest
is under the amount allowed for the minor beneciary’s state of residence.
2. Guardianship papers – The minor’s custodian may obtain formal guardianship papers for the minor’s estate. These
legal guardianship documents must be obtained prior to the release of the benet. If guardianship papers are not
obtained and if UTMA does not apply, the benet will be paid once the minor reaches the age of majority.

send our Privacy Practices Notice as required by law. Even after that relationship ends, we will continue to protect your personal
information. You do not need to take any action because of this Notice, but you do have certain rights as described below.
Information we may collect and use
We collect personal information about you to help us identify you as our customer or our former customer; to process your
requests and transactions; to offer investment or insurance services to you; to pay your claim; or to tell you about our products

to amend the information. Your request must be in writing and must include the reason you are requesting the change. We will
respond within 30 business days. If we make changes to your records as a result of your request, we will notify you in writing and
