Changes to Section 7702
Changes to Section 7702 in COVID relief legislation Changes drive by low interest rate environment As part of The Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2021, signed into law on December 27, 2020, a change was made to Section 7702 of the Internal Revenue Code.

New SecureCare sales idea
SecureCare Funding Source: RMDs Since SecureCare Universal Life’s maximum payment age is now age 80 in most states, this allows older clients to take advantage of longer payment duration options and — potentially — a new premium funding strategy. If a client doesn’t need to rely on required minimum distributions (RMDs) from their qualified accounts for retirement income, they could use their RMDs to fund SecureCare.
