UUP Members what if one policy could help protect your family, build cash value, and help cover you if you ever need long-term care — with no medical exam and guaranteed acceptance?
Join us for an educational webinar on Wednesday, October 21, 2026, at 12:00pm where experts from M3 Technology (M3 Technology is an independent agency offering Transamerica Financial Life Insurance Company’s products) breaks down a powerful financial planning tool that combines:
✅ Level Premium Universal Life Insurance — your rate locks in at your age when the policy initially becomes effective
✅ Cash Value Accumulation — a savings component that grows alongside your coverage
✅ Chronic Illness / Long-Term Care Protection — access your death benefit while you’re living if you need care
✅ Guaranteed Acceptance — no health questions, no medical exam required
Why this matters:
Long-term care costs are rising fast, and most people don’t realize a single policy can help protect their savings and their future care needs — all without the underwriting hurdles of traditional life or long-term care insurance.
