Bank Owned Life Insurance

We own life insurance policies on the lives of certain officers designated by the Board of Directors to fund our employee benefit programs, and death benefits provided under the specific terms of these insurance policies are estimated to be $81.9 million at December 31, 2017. The benefits to employees' beneficiaries are limited to the employee's active service period. The investment in bank owned life insurance policies are reported in interest receivable and other assets at their cash surrender value of $38.1 million and $32.4 million at December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The cash surrender value includes both the original premiums paid for the life insurance policies and the accumulated accretion of policy income since inception of the policies. Income of $845 thousand, $844 thousand and $814 thousand was recognized on the life insurance policies in 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively. We regularly monitor the credit ratings of our insurance carriers to ensure that they comply with our policy.
