Facing an Advanced-Stage Cancer Should Not Be Financially Devastating

For those facing a late-stage illness, your life insurance policy can be a source of much needed cash. One program is the Funds for Living and Giving (FLAG) program offered by Fifth Season Financial. Under the FLAG program, Fifth Season Financial will take over paying the premium on the life insurance policy, and will give the patient (the insured) a “substantial portion of the face value of that policy as an advance payment.” As soon as Fifth Season Financial assumes the role of administrator of the policy, it handles all of the remaining premium payments. Fifth Season’s President, Adam Balinsky notes “As we know, finding a cure for cancer is a difficult task. Finding a way to afford treatment, or maintain a good quality of life? That shouldn’t be difficult.”
