Protecting You and Your Family

Accessibility Statement and Digital Property Disclaimer

www.americo.com is committed to making the digital property accessible to all users, including those with disabilities. Our goal is to provide an accessible digital property that conforms to Section 508 Guidelines and the World Wide Web Consortium’s Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA. Some existing content may not be in compliance, and some content may meet only the minimum required compliance standards. This will be resolved as we continue our efforts to monitor and maintain acceptable compliance levels.

We continue to make every effort to test the digital property and to remove barriers that prevent persons with disabilities from interacting with or accessing information made available on our website. If we become aware of content that does not conform to the WCAG 2.1 Level AA standards, we will make every reasonably good faith effort to make the content conform to the standards.

While we strive to adhere to the accepted guidelines and standards for accessibility and usability, it is not always possible to do so in all areas of the digital property, particularly as it relates to content by third parties. Americo Life, Inc. is not responsible for ensuring that third-party content, software/tools, widgets, Add-ins, APIs, etc., which are not owned by Americo Life, Inc. but are otherwise located on or linked to the Americo Life, Inc. digital property, conform to WCAG 2.1 Level AA, and shall not be liable if they are inaccessible to individuals with disabilities.

While this policy does provide the standard for individuals with disabilities to access digital property-based information, this policy cannot anticipate every accessibility need, due to known limitations of existing technology. There may be other circumstances, independent of technology that may limit the accessibility of the Americo Life, Inc.

Ongoing Efforts to Ensure Accessible Content:

Americo Life, Inc. uses the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) version 2.1 as its guiding principle. As we develop new pages and functionality, the principles of accessible design and development are an integral part of conception and realization.

We continually test content and features for WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance and remediate any issues to ensure we meet or exceed the standards. Testing of our digital content is performed by our accessibility experts using automated testing, screen readers, a color contrast analyzer, keyboard-only navigation techniques, and a variety of bookmarklets.

Summary of Accessibility Features

• Navigational aids are provided on all pages. Skip navigation links have been incorporated to facilitate keyboard navigation and to bypass groups of links on a page and jump directly to main content.
• The title attribute has been used to make linked text more meaningful or to indicate if the link opens a new browser window.
• Type ahead search results are announced automatically.
• Radio buttons are grouped together.
