Description

In a split-dollar plan, an employer and employee execute a written agreement that outlines how they will share the premium cost, cash value and death benefit of a permanent life insurance policy. Split-dollar plans are frequently used by employers to provide supplemental benefits for executives and/or to help retain key employees. The agreement outlines what the employee needs to accomplish, how long the plan will stay in effect and how the plan will be terminated. It also includes provisions that restrict or end benefits if the employee decides to terminate employment or does not achieve agreed-upon performance metrics. A Suffolk New York Split-Dollar Insurance Agreement with Policy Owned Jointly by Employer and Employee is a unique arrangement wherein the employer and employee share ownership of an insurance policy. This type of insurance joint ownership can have different variations depending on the specific terms agreed upon by the parties involved. One type of Suffolk New York Split-Dollar Insurance Agreement is known as a "Collateral Assignment Split-Dollar Agreement." In this agreement, the employer collaterally assigns the policy to the employee while retaining an interest in the policy's cash value. The employee is usually responsible for paying the policy premiums. Another variation is the "Endorsement Split-Dollar Agreement." In this type, the employer endorses the policy to the employee, maintaining an interest in either the death benefit or cash value of the policy. Similar to the Collateral Assignment agreement, the employee typically takes on the premium payment responsibility. A "Non-Equity Collateral Assignment Split-Dollar Agreement" is yet another type. Here, the employer retains full ownership rights of the policy while the employee is given the exclusive right to the policy's cash value growth. In the event of the employee's death, the death benefit is usually split between the employer and the employee's beneficiaries. Moreover, there is the "Equity Collateral Assignment Split-Dollar Agreement." This agreement allows the employee to have both an ownership and economic interest in the policy's cash value growth. Upon the employee's death, the death benefit is shared between the employer and the employee's beneficiaries. Suffolk New York Split-Dollar Insurance Agreements with Policy Owned Jointly by Employer and Employee provide numerous benefits. For the employer, this arrangement can serve as a valuable employee retention tool, as employees typically perceive this as an additional employee benefit. Additionally, the employer may have access to the policy's cash value or death benefit to recoup any expenses related to the arrangement. For the employee, the primary benefit lies in the access to life insurance coverage. Generally, the employee is not responsible for the full cost of premiums and can often enjoy reduced or subsidized premiums. The employee may also have the ability to borrow against the policy's cash value or access it through withdrawals, creating a potential source of supplemental income or financial security. Overall, a Suffolk New York Split-Dollar Insurance Agreement with Policy Owned Jointly by Employer and Employee offers a flexible and customizable approach to life insurance coverage, providing a win-win scenario for both parties.
