The underwriter of this policy is RMA Life, a registered long-term insurer, and they are ultimately responsible for paying any claims on RMA Life policies. RMA Life depends on you and your beneficiaries to be completely truthful both in your original application and during the claims process.

If you are not truthful or do not disclose all relevant information, or misrepresent information to us, RMA Life has the right to cancel your policy, or change the terms of your policy.

If your claim is based on false or incomplete information, RMA Life will not pay the claim. If, after RMA Life pays any claim, RMA Life finds that it was based on false or incomplete information, all claim payments will have to be refunded to them.
