The only problem I have with them is their agent communication is almost non existent at times They have pulled plans and added others without any notification. I learned of the discontinuance of two plans by submitting apps for them only to be told they no longer offered them.. They have held some webinars lately.. Fridays at 11:00AM Eastern... Not everybody can attend at that time so you would think they would record them and post them in the training section on the agent website.. So far they have not done so.. They have a great website but they could make better use of it..

The next oldest I'm aware of is Phoenix. They paid the claim after Lincoln got shot.
"Phoenix is founded by a group of prominent business, religious and civic leaders in Hartford, Connecticut as the American Temperance Life Insurance Company, a company that insures only those who abstain from alcohol."

It's funny how that works. I always think of Aetna being a Medicare company although they do a lot more of course. Ameritas is always a supplemental company in my mind as well.

And there was a story just a few years back where a daughter was collecting one of those pensions. She was WAY old and in a nursing home. If I remember correctly, her father was really old, around 70 when she was born, then when he passed the mother got the pension then she did.
It was really low, like maybe $40 a month or less. I'll try and dig it up tomorrow.
Irene Triplett, last Civil War pensioner who got $73 monthly, dies
Irene Triplett received monthly check for $73.13 from the Department of Veterans Affairs as her father, Mose Triplett, deserted the Confederates just before Gettysburg and later joined the Union army to fight.
The Washington Post and Wall Street Journal reported that Triplett was living in a North Carolina nursing home before she died May 31.
According to the Post, Triplett received the monthly payment because she suffered from cognitive impairments and qualified as "a helpless adult child of a veteran."
