Life Expectancy: 1. Life expectancy at birth is a
statistical measurement that projects how a society will
change over time. It is the statistically determined
number of years, at birth, that a person is expected to
live. Currently, life expectancy for men in the US is
74.8 years and for women it is 80.1 years.
2. Life expectancy at 65 measures the number of years a
person is expected to live once they reach the age of
65. It is different from life expectancy at birth,
because by that age many life-threatening challenges
have passed. At present, men who reach the age of 65 in
this country can expect to live until the age of 81.6
years of age, and women to the age of 84.5.
Lump Sum Death Payment: A one-time payment of $255

benefits that are due. This benefit is paid to your
