This means that temporary coverage cannot be provided for life insurance policies until a formal policy is issued.

An organization will cease to exist as an entity eligible to hold a license for all of the following reasons, except:
- A.
  
  Termination of an association
- B.
  
  Termination of a key employee
- C.
  
  Dissolution of a corporation

Correct Answer
B. Termination of a key employee

An organization will cease to exist as an entity eligible to hold a license if there is a termination of an association, dissolution of a corporation, or dissolution of a co-partnership. However, the termination of a key employee does not directly affect the organization's eligibility to hold a license. While the departure of a key employee may have significant implications for the organization's operations and success, it does not automatically result in the organization's cessation as an eligible entity for holding a license.

This means that they are required to keep a record of the accounts where compensation is exempted in premium financing payments for a period of three years. This is important for transparency and accountability purposes, ensuring that there is a documented record of the exempted compensation.

A. When the plans both have the provision, coverage as an employee is primary to coverage paid to dependents

Explanation
When both plans have the usual coordination-of-benefits provision, the coverage for an employee takes priority over the coverage provided to dependents. This means that if an employee is covered under two different plans, their own plan will be considered primary and the plan of their dependents will be considered secondary.

- A.
  
  Pain relief
- B.
  
  Symptom management
- C.
  
  Counseling
- D.

Explanation
Hospice care focuses on providing comfort and support to individuals who are terminally ill and nearing the end of their lives. The goal is to improve the quality of life for patients and their families. Pain relief, symptom management, and counseling are all essential components of hospice care, as they address the physical, emotional, and psychological needs of the patients. However, rehabilitation, which typically involves therapies to restore function and improve mobility, is not typically provided in hospice care. The focus is on providing comfort rather than curative treatments or rehabilitation services.

The correct answer is "None of these would be automatically approved" because the question states that Tony Brown has a CLU certification, but it does not mention anything about his agency's name or the criteria for approval. Therefore, without any further information, it cannot be determined which names would be automatically approved for his agency's use.

A person has apaid $50,000 into a fixed annuity over 20 years. When he decides to begin income payments the insurer calculates that he will receive $4,000 per year for life, which means that he will receive a total of $100,000. In te first 10 years of payments how much is taxable each year ?
- A.
  
  $0
- B.
  
  $800
- C.
  
  $2,000
- D.
  
  $4,000
Correct Answer
C. $2,000

Explanation
The taxable amount each year is calculated by subtracting the original investment amount from the total income received. In this case, the person invested $50,000 into the annuity and will receive a total of $100,000 over their lifetime. Therefore, the taxable amount each year is $100,000 - $50,000 = $50,000 divided by 10 years, which equals $5,000. However, the question asks for the taxable amount in the first 10 years, so we divide $5,000 by 2 to get $2,000. So, the correct answer is $2,000.

An insured bought an annuity ten years ago. He will retire in five year. To determine the value of the annuity, the number of accumulation units is multiplied by the value of the separate account. What type of annuity was purchased ?
- A.
  
  Variable annuity
- B.
  
  Fixed premium annuity
- C.
  
  Tax sheltered annuity
- D.
  
  Single payment annuity
Correct Answer
A. Variable annuity

Explanation
The insured purchased a variable annuity. This is because the value of the annuity is determined by multiplying the number of accumulation units by the value of the separate account. In a variable annuity, the separate account is invested in various assets such as stocks and bonds, and the value fluctuates based on the performance of these investments. Therefore, the value of the annuity will vary over time, making it a variable annuity.

- A.
  
  Risk
- B.
  
  Morbidity
- C.

Explanation
Morbidity refers to the state of being diseased or the incidence of disease within a population. It represents the likelihood of incurring disease or disability at any given time. This term is commonly used in public health to assess the burden of diseases and to develop strategies for prevention and treatment. Mortality, on the other hand, refers to the number of deaths in a population. Risk and hazard are more general terms that can encompass a wide range of potential dangers or threats, but they do not specifically address the likelihood of disease or disability.

This means that each beneficiary in the class will receive an equal portion of the benefit, regardless of their relationship to the deceased. It is a fair and equal distribution method that ensures each member of the class receives an equal share.

Twelve months ago, a man slipped and fell down a flight of stairs at his workplace. As a result he has a paralysis for which he is not expected to recover. This 46 year old person will probably be able to collect disability income benefits from:
- A.
  
  Medicare
- B.
  
  Workers Compensation
- C.
  
  Medicaid
- D.
  
  Social security
Correct Answer
B. Workers Compensation

Explanation
The man will likely be able to collect disability income benefits from Workers Compensation because this program provides benefits for employees who are injured or become disabled as a result of their work. Medicare is a federal health insurance program for people aged 65 and older or with certain disabilities, but it does not provide disability income benefits. Medicaid is a joint federal and state program that provides medical coverage for low-income individuals and families, but it does not specifically provide disability income benefits. Social Security provides disability benefits, but it is not mentioned in the question as a possible source of income for the man.

This statement contradicts the information given in the question, which states that passing a LTC knowledge exam every 10 years is a requirement for selling LTC insurance in the state of CA.

- A.
  
  Insurable interest standard
- B.
  
  Contract law
- C.
  
  The law of large numbers
- D.
  
  Materiality
Correct Answer
C. The law of large numbers

Explanation
The law of large numbers is a mathematical rule that states as the number of individual but similar exposure units increases, it becomes easier to predict losses. This means that the larger the sample size, the more accurate and reliable the predictions will be. This principle is widely used in insurance and statistics to assess and manage risk. The other options, such as insurable interest standard, contract law, and materiality, are not directly related to this concept.

A Life and Disability Analyst is a person who is licensed to provide advice to clients regarding life and disability insurance in exchange for a fee. They specialize in helping clients understand and choose the right insurance policies that meet their specific needs and goals. This role requires expertise in analyzing the client's financial situation, assessing risks, and recommending suitable insurance coverage. Unlike other options listed, such as a broker or an agent, a Life and Disability Analyst focuses specifically on advising clients about life and disability insurance rather than selling or soliciting insurance products.

After the death of a natural person who holds a valid insurance license, the license always terminates. This means that the license is no longer valid and cannot be transferred to another person. Additionally, the license does not become inactive until the expiration date, nor does it need to be returned to the Commissioner to cancel it. The termination of the license is a standard procedure that occurs upon the death of the license holder.

- A.
  
  Rapidity
- B.
  
  Security
- C.

By analyzing the frequency of the loss, insurance companies can determine the appropriate pricing for a disability policy.

- B.
  
  Entire contract, grace period, reinstatement
- C.
  
  Entire contract, incontestability, pre-existing conditions
- D.
  
  Grace period, suicide right to return
Correct Answer

Explanation
The correct answer is "Entire contract, grace period, reinstatement". These provisions are commonly found in insurance policies. The entire contract provision states that the policy and any attached endorsements constitute the entire contract between the insured and the insurer. The grace period provision allows the insured a specified period of time after the premium due date to make a payment without the policy lapsing. The reinstatement provision allows the insured to reinstate a lapsed policy by paying any outstanding premiums and meeting certain conditions.

- B.
  
  Gets the automatic increase in the face value if there is an increase in the cost of living index. There is an additional premium for the additional coverage
- C.
  
  Gets the automatic increase in the face value if the index goes up. There is no charge except for the flat charge for the rider
- D.
  
  All of the above are flase
Correct Answer
B. Gets the automatic increase in the face value if there is an increase in the cost of living index. There is an additional premium for the additional coverage

Explanation
The correct answer is that the life insurance policy holder gets an automatic increase in the face value if there is an increase in the cost of living index, and there is an additional premium for the additional coverage. This means that if the cost of living increases, the face value of the policy will also increase, providing the policy holder with more coverage. However, the policy holder will need to pay an additional premium for this increased coverage.

  Intermediate care
- B.
  
  Custodial care
- C.
  
  Skilled nursing care
- D.
  
  Convalescent care
Correct Answer
D. Convalescent care

Explanation
Convalescent care is not a standard level of care for a Long-Term Care (LTC) policy. Convalescent care refers to the care provided to individuals who are recovering from an illness or surgery and need assistance with daily activities during the recovery period. In contrast, standard levels of care for an LTC policy typically include intermediate care, custodial care, and skilled nursing care, which are focused on providing long-term assistance with activities of daily living, medical care, and supervision for individuals who have chronic illnesses or disabilities.

All of the following is required on a life insurance application, except:

  Health history
- B.
  
  Amount of other life insurance in force
- C.
  
  Age of the inured
- D.
  
  The amount of disability income insurance in force
Correct Answer
D. The amount of disability income insurance in force

Explanation
On a life insurance application, the applicant is typically required to provide their health history, the amount of other life insurance they have in force, and their age. However, the amount of disability income insurance in force is not typically required on a life insurance application. Disability income insurance is a separate type of insurance that provides income replacement in the event the insured becomes disabled and is unable to work. Therefore, it is not directly relevant to the assessment of risk for a life insurance policy.

- C.
  
  It offers premiums that are quite low compared to what you would be charged for separate policies
- D.
  
  The policy face amount is made out based only on the death of the first to die
Correct Answer
D. The policy face amount is made out based only on the death of the first to die

Explanation
Survivorship life insurance is a type of insurance that covers the lives of two individuals, typically spouses, and pays out the death benefit only after both individuals have passed away. This type of insurance is commonly used to provide cash to cover estate taxes, as mentioned in one of the statements. The policy face amounts are usually for more than $1,000,000, and the premiums are relatively low compared to separate policies, which are also mentioned in the statements. However, the given answer states that the policy face amount is made out based only on the death of the first to die, which is incorrect. The policy pays out the death benefit after the death of both insured individuals.

What information can a party to a contract of insurance be allowed NOT to communicate according to California law ?
- A.
  
  Information which the other party already knows
- B.
  
  Information not specifically asked by an agent and company, even if it's considered relevant
- C.
  
  Information which is material to the contract
- D.
  
  Information which cannot be proven but is material
Correct Answer
A. Information which the other party already knows

Explanation
According to California law, a party to a contract of insurance can be allowed not to communicate information which the other party already knows. This means that if the other party is already aware of certain information, it is not necessary for the party to communicate it again. This exception is based on the assumption that if the other party already has knowledge of the information, it does not need to be disclosed again as it would not affect the terms of the contract.

Which of the following (recall) provisions of a disability contract is likely to change the contract least and cost the most ?
- A.
  
  Continuous indemnity contract
- B.
  
  Non-cancelable contract
- C.
  
  Guaranteed renewable contract
- D.
  
  Expense arrangement contract
Correct Answer
B. Non-cancelable contract

Explanation
A non-cancelable contract is likely to change the contract least and cost the most. This type of contract guarantees that the insurer cannot cancel or change the terms of the policy as long as the premiums are paid on time. This provides stability and security for the policyholder, as they know that their coverage will remain unchanged. However, because the insurer is taking on more risk by offering this type of contract, the premiums for a non-cancelable contract are typically higher compared to other types of disability contracts.

According to the CA insurance Code, a judgment against an applicant who entered a plea of "nolo contendere" is considered to be:
- A.
  
  Innocent by code, but guilty by law
- B.
  
  Innocent
- C.
  
  Referred to the Insurance Commissioner for opinion
- D.
  
  Convicted
Correct Answer
D. Convicted

Explanation
According to the CA insurance Code, a judgment against an applicant who entered a plea of "nolo contendere" is considered to be convicted. This means that even though the applicant did not admit guilt, the judgment still implies a conviction. The plea of "nolo contendere" is essentially a plea of no contest, where the defendant does not admit guilt but accepts the punishment. Therefore, the judgment is treated as a conviction under the insurance Code.

  Incontestability
- B.
  
  Indemnity
- C.
  
  Misrepresentation
- D.

Explanation
The correct answer is "Incontestability." This policy provision prevents an insurer from voiding a policy for misstatements made by the insured after a period of 2 years. It provides a certain level of protection to the policyholder by limiting the insurer's ability to retroactively cancel or modify the policy based on misrepresentations. This provision helps ensure that the policy remains valid and enforceable after a specified time, giving the insured peace of mind and stability in their coverage.

Under a disability insurance policy, an insured is eligible for a waiver of premium benefit:
- A.
  
  Under the age 65
- B.
  
  After the first six months of disability
- C.
  
  During maternity leave
- D.
  
  During delayed retirement
Correct Answer
B. After the first six months of disability

Explanation
The waiver of premium benefit under a disability insurance policy becomes eligible for the insured individual after the first six months of disability. This means that if the insured becomes disabled and is unable to work for a period of six months or more, they will no longer be required to pay premiums for their insurance coverage. This benefit helps to alleviate the financial burden on the insured during a period of disability when they may already be facing additional expenses and loss of income.

Correct Answer
B. Establishing a list of clients

Explanation

Establishing a list of clients, on the other hand, is more related to marketing and prospecting for potential clients, rather than the actual process of transacting insurance.

A. Are covered by Medicare Part B. There is a charge for the coverage

Explanation
Physicians and surgeons services are covered by Medicare Part B, which is a part of the Medicare program that covers outpatient services. However, there is a charge for the coverage, meaning that beneficiaries are required to pay a premium for this coverage. Medicare Part A, on the other hand, covers inpatient hospital services and does not typically require a premium. Therefore, the correct answer is that physicians and surgeons services are covered by Medicare Part B, with a charge for the coverage.
