NJ ACCIDENT & HEALTH / LIFE PRODUCER EXAM
QUESTIONS 1–120 WITH RATIONALES
1. Life Income Joint and Survivor Settlement Option
guarantees which of the following?
A. Income to only the primary beneficiary
B. Income for a fixed number of years
C. Income for two or more recipients while at least one is alive
D. Income until the policy cash value is exhausted
Correct Answer: C
Rationale:
A joint and survivor settlement option guarantees income payments to two or more
beneficiaries and continues as long as at least one beneficiary remains alive.
This option is commonly used for spouses to ensure continued income after the first
,death. The amount may be reduced after one beneficiary dies, but payments do not
stop entirely until all beneficiaries have died.
2. A participating insurance policy may do which of the
following?
A. Guarantee dividends annually
B. Pay dividends to the policyowner
C. Waive all future premiums
D. Increase the face amount without rider
Correct Answer: B
Rationale:
Participating policies allow policyowners to receive dividends when the insurer
experiences favorable results in mortality, expenses, or interest earnings. Dividends
are not guaranteed and depend on the insurer’s performance. Nonparticipating
policies do not pay dividends.
3. What is TRUE about the cash surrender nonforfeiture
option?
A. All cash values are tax free
B. Only interest earned is returned
C. Amounts exceeding premiums paid are taxable as ordinary income
D. Cash surrender value is always equal to face amount
✅ Correct Answer: C
Rationale:
When a policy is surrendered for cash, the portion that exceeds total premiums
paid is considered taxable ordinary income. The IRS treats this excess as earnings.
The return of principal (premiums paid) is not taxed.
,4. A participating insurance policy will:
A. Guarantee annual dividends
B. Pay dividends based on insurer performance
C. Pay dividends only at policy maturity
D. Convert automatically to paid-up insurance
✅ Correct Answer: B
Rationale:
Dividends from participating policies are based on mortality experience, interest
earnings, and expense savings. They are not guaranteed and may vary annually
depending on company performance.

practice involving rebating?
A. Explaining policy benefits clearly
B. Offering a gift unrelated to insurance
C. Waiving the first premium to induce a sale
D. Comparing policy features accurately
✅ Correct Answer: C
Rationale:
Rebating occurs when a producer offers anything of value not specified in the
policy to induce purchase, such as waiving premiums. Both offering and
accepting rebates are illegal under NJ insurance law.
, 6. Rebating is best defined as:
A. Offering premium discounts approved by the insurer
B. Offering inducements not specified in the policy
C. Adjusting commissions based on performance
D. Reducing coverage to lower premiums
✅ Correct Answer: B
Rationale:
Rebating includes offering money, services, reduced premiums, or anything of
value not stated in the policy. This practice is prohibited because it creates unfair
competition and discriminatory pricing.

is considered:
A. Unauthorized

the state.
