GLOSSARY
Accumulation Period - The phase of the Contract that begins on the Contract Issue Date and ends on
the Payout Date, or the date the Contract is terminated if earlier.
Annual Free Withdrawal Amount - The amount that can be withdrawn without incurring a Surrender
Charge each Contract Year. It is equal to 10% of the Contract Value determined at the beginning of the
Contract Year.
Bailout Rate - A specific rate that applies to the Bailout Provision.
Bailout Provision - If the Cap for your Risk Control Account is set below the Bailout Rate prominently
displayed on your Contract Data Page, the Bailout Provision allows you to transfer the Risk Control
Account Value from that Risk Control Account during the 30-day period following the Risk Control Account
Anniversary. A Market Value Adjustment will not apply to such transfer.
Cap - The maximum annual Index Return the Company will use in calculating interest credited to Risk
Control Account Value for a Risk Control Account Year. The Cap does not reflect deduction of the Contract
Fee.
Company - MEMBERS Life Insurance Company; also referred to as "we", "our" and "us".
Contract - The TruStage® Horizon II Annuity, an individual or joint owned, flexible premium deferred
variable and index-linked annuity contract issued by MEMBERS Life Insurance Company.
Contract Anniversary - The same day and month as the Contract Issue Date for each year the Contract
remains in force. If a Contract Anniversary does not fall on a Business Day, any transactions required as
of that date will be processed on the next Business Day but will be effective as of that Contract
Anniversary.
Contract Fee - A fee assessed against Contract Value allocated to the Variable Subaccounts and the
Risk Control Accounts. The Contract Fee is shown on your Data Page. The portion of the fee assessed to
the Variable Subaccounts equals a percentage of the average daily value of the assets of the Variable
Subaccounts to which the Variable Subaccount Value is allocated. The portion of the fee assessed to the
Risk Control Accounts equals a percentage of the Accumulation Credit Factor for the Risk Control
Account at the start of a Risk Control Account Year. This fee compensates us for the expenses, expense
risk, and mortality risk assumed by us.
Contract Issue Date - The date we use to determine Contract Years and Contract Anniversaries.
Contract Value - The total value of your Contract during the Accumulation Period. All values are
calculated as of the end of a Business Day.
Contract Year - Any twelve-month period beginning on the Contract Issue Date or Contract Anniversary
and continuing until the end of the day before the next Contract Anniversary.
Data Page - Pages attached to your Contract that describe certain terms applicable to your specific
Contract.
Death Benefit - The Return of Purchase Payment Death Benefit Endorsement is attached to this
Contract. It provides a Death Benefit of the greater of Contract Value as of the date Death Benefits are
payable or total Purchase Payments adjusted for withdrawals. We do not apply the Surrender Charge or
Market Value Adjustment in determining the Death Benefit payable.
Floor - The minimum annual Index Return the Company will use in calculating interest credited to Risk
Control Account Value for the life of the Contract. The Floor does not reflect deduction of the Contract
Fee.
Fund - Each investment portfolio or any other open-end management investment company or unit
investment trust in which a Variable Subaccount invests.
3
Holding Account - An account that holds each Purchase Payment pending investment in a Risk Control
Account. The Holding Account cannot be elected as an Investment Option. There are two holding
accounts: a fixed Holding Account and a money market Holding Account. The fixed Holding Account is
part of our General Account and is used in all states where the Contract is available for sale except
Missouri. The money market Holding Account is a variable subaccount and is used only for Contracts
issued in the state of Missouri.
Index, Indices - The reference index (or indices) we use in determining interest credited to the Risk
Control Account Value.
Index Return - The change in the Index for the current Contract Year, adjusted for the Cap or Floor.
Investment Options - The choices available under this Contract for allocation of your Purchase
Payment(s) and Contract Value. Choices include the Risk Control Accounts ("Risk Control Account
Option") and the Variable Subaccounts ("Variable Subaccount Option").
Market Value Adjustment - The amount of an adjustment (increase or decrease) that may be applied to
a full surrender or partial withdrawal from a Risk Control Account, also referred to as the MVA.
Owner - The person(s) (or entity) who owns the Contract and whose death determines the Death Benefit.
The Owner is also the person(s) (or entity) who receives income payments during the Payout Period while
the Annuitant is living. If there are multiple Owners, each Owner will be a joint Owner of the Contract and
all references to Owner will mean joint Owners. The Owner has all rights, title and interest in the Contract.
The Owner may exercise all rights and options stated in the Contract, subject to the rights of any
Irrevocable Beneficiary or assignee. The Owner is also referred to as "you" or "your."
Payout Date - The date the first income payment is paid from the Contract to the Owner.

Risk Control Account - An interest crediting option to which you may allocate your Contract Value. We
credit interest under each Risk Control Account based in part on the performance of a reference Index,
subject to a Cap and Floor. There are two types of Risk Control Accounts, the Secure Account and the
Growth Account.
Risk Control Account Anniversary - The same day and month as a Risk Control Account Start Date for
each year of a Risk Control Account Period. If a Risk Control Account Anniversary does not fall on a
Business Day, any transactions required as of that date will be processed on the next Business Day.
Risk Control Account Daily Contract Fee - The Contract Fee divided by the number of days in the Risk
Control Account Year and then multiplied by the Accumulation Credit Factor for the Risk Control Account
at the start of a Risk Control Account Year.
Risk Control Account Maturity Date - The last day of a Risk Control Account Period. If a Risk Control
Account Maturity Date does not fall on a Business Day, any transactions required as of that date will be

on a Risk Control Account Maturity Date. Each Risk Control Account Period is six years.

ABOUT THE TRUSTAGE® HORIZON II ANNUITY
FEES, EXPENSES, AND ADJUSTMENTS
Location in
Prospectus
Are There
Charges or
Adjustments for
Early
Withdrawals?
Yes. If you withdraw money from your Contract during the six
years following allocation of a Purchase Payment, you may
pay a Surrender Charge of up to 9% of the Purchase Payment
withdrawn in excess of the Annual Free Withdrawal Amount.
For example, if you were to surrender your Contract during the
first Contract Year, you could pay a surrender charge of up to
$8,100 on a $100,000 investment. This loss will be greater if
there is a negative Market Value Adjustment, income taxes, or
an additional tax.
Withdrawals and surrenders from Risk Control Accounts prior
to the Risk Control Account Maturity Date will be subject to a
Market Value Adjustment, which may be positive or negative.
In extreme circumstances, you could lose up to 100% of your
principal and previously credited interest if you take a
withdrawal or surrender your Contract, as a result of the
Market Value Adjustment. For example, if you allocate
$100,000 to a Risk Control Account and withdraw the entire
amount before the Risk Control Account Maturity Date, you
could lose all of your $100,000 investment.

Are There
Transaction
Charges?
Yes. In addition to Surrender Charges and a Market Value
Adjustment, you may also be charged for other transactions,
such as transfers, wire transfers, use of express mail,
providing a duplicate contract, and information previously
provided to you that requires research on our part.
Fee Table
Charges and
Adjustments
Are There
Ongoing Fees and
Expenses?
Yes. The table below describes the fees and expenses that
you may pay each year, depending on the investment options
you choose.
There is an implicit ongoing fee on the Risk Control
Accounts to the extent that the Cap limits your
participation in Index gains, which is not reflected in the
tables below. This means your returns may be lower than the
Index's returns; however, in exchange for accepting a Cap on
Index gains, you receive some protection from Index losses
through the Floor.
Please refer to your Data Page for information about the
specific fees you will pay each year based on the options you
have elected.

affect how much you will pay. To help you understand the cost
of owning your Contract, the following table shows the lowest
and highest cost you could pay each year, based on current

RISKS

6
Is There a Risk of
Loss from Poor
Performance?
Yes. You can lose money by investing in the Contract,
including loss of principal and previously credited interest. You
bear the entire investment risk of any amounts you allocate to
the Variable Subaccounts. There is a risk of loss of principal
and previously credited interest with the Growth Account of up
to 10% (with a Floor of -10%) each Risk Control Account Year
due to negative Index performance.
During the life of your Contract, an Allocation Option with a
Floor of 0% will always be available. Otherwise, we may add,
change, or discontinue Allocation Options, including
Indices and Funds underlying the Variable Subaccounts
from time to time as described in this Prospectus. The
remaining Allocation Options may have terms that are
unacceptable to you and may not provide any protection
from losses, which could result in the loss of the entire
amount of your Contract Value.
Principal Risks of
Investing in the
Contract
Is this a Short-
Term Investment?
No. The Contract is not a short-term investment and is not
appropriate if you need ready access to cash. The benefits of
tax deferral mean that the Contract is more beneficial if you
have a long time horizon.
Withdrawals and surrenders may be subject to a Surrender
Charge, a Market Value Adjustment (which may be positive or
negative) and federal and state income taxes, and, if taken
before age 59½, a 10% additional tax. Withdrawals will also
reduce the Death Benefit, perhaps by significantly more than
the amount of the withdrawal.
During the Accumulation Period, we will automatically
rebalance your Contract Value among the Risk Control
Accounts and/or Variable Subaccounts at the end of specific
periods based on your most recent allocation instructions that
we have on file.

What Are the
Risks Associated
with the
Investment
Options?
An investment in the Contract is subject to the risk of poor
investment performance and can vary depending on the
performance of the Investment Options available under the
Contract. Each Investment Option, including the Holding
Account, the Risk Control Accounts, and the Variable
Subaccounts, has its own unique risks. You should review the
Investment Options carefully before making an investment
decision.
With respect to the Risk Control Accounts, the Cap will limit
positive Index returns. For example, if the Index performance
for a Risk Control Account Year is 12%, and the Cap is 4%, we
will credit 4% in interest at the end of that Risk Control
Account Year. You may earn less than the Index performance
as a result. The Floor will limit negative Index performance
and thereby provide limited protection in the case of a market
decline. For example, if the Index performance is -25% and
the Floor for the Growth Account is -10%, we will credit -10%
at the end of the Risk Control Account Year.
Each Index is a "price return index." Therefore, performance
of the relevant Index does not reflect dividends paid on the
securities comprising the Index. This will reduce Index
performance and will cause the Index to underperform a direct
investment in the underlying securities.

Allocations, Transfers, and Withdrawals. Only one Risk
Control Account Period can be in force at any time. Once you
have established a Risk Control Account, you may not allocate
your subsequent Purchase Payments or make transfers to a
new Risk Control Account until the existing Risk Control
Account matures at the end of six years. You may not allocate
subsequent Purchase Payments to existing Risk Control
Accounts (other than during 30 days prior to the Risk Control
Account Maturity Date).
Contract Value in the Holding Account cannot be transferred to
the Variable Subaccounts. Contract Value in the Risk Control
Accounts can only be transferred to the Variable Subaccount
options on the Risk Control Account Maturity Date.
Partial withdrawals from the Risk Control Accounts are not
permitted while there is Variable Subaccount Value, except for
withdrawals from the Risk Control Accounts on the Risk
Control Account Maturity Date (the end of each six-year Risk
Control Account Period).
We reserve the right, at our discretion, to restrict transfers into
the Risk Control Account if the Cap for your Risk Control
Account is less than the rate specified in the Bailout Provision
(as shown on your Contract Data Page).

Changes to Investment Options and Features. For each
Risk Control Account, we set a Cap for the first Risk Control
Account Year, which is made available at least two weeks in
advance of the Risk Control Account Start Date. We may set a
new Cap prior to each Risk Control Account Anniversary for
the subsequent Risk Control Account Year and will send you
written notice at least two weeks prior to the Risk Control
Account Anniversary. The Caps will always be a minimum of
1%.
During the life of your Contract, an Allocation Option with a
Floor of 0% will always be available. Otherwise, we may add,
change, or discontinue Allocation Options, including
Indices and Funds underlying the Variable Subaccounts
from time to time as described in this Prospectus. The
remaining Allocation Options may have terms that are
unacceptable to you and may not provide any protection
from losses, which could result in the loss of the entire
amount of your Contract Value.
If there is a delay between the date we remove an Index for a
Risk Control Account and the date we add a substitute Index,
your Risk Control Account Value will be based on the value of
the Index on the date the Index ceased to be available, which
means market changes during the delay will not be used to
calculate the index interest.

purchase, and you must allocate all of your Purchase
Payment to your selected Express Portfolio.
Systematic Withdrawals may be taken on a monthly, quarterly,
semi-annual, or annual basis. The withdrawals must be at
least $100 each. Unless taken to satisfy required minimum
distributions, a Market Value Adjustment may be applied to
Systematic Withdrawals taken from a Risk Control Account. If
the Systematic Withdrawal exceeds the Annual Free
Withdrawal Amount, the Surrender Charge also may apply.

How Are
Investment
Professionals
Compensated?
Some investment professionals (also referred to as "financial
professionals" in this prospectus) may receive compensation
for selling the Contract to you in the form of commissions or
other compensation. These other forms of compensation may
include cash bonuses, insurance benefits and financing
arrangements. Non-cash benefits may include conferences,
seminars and trips (including travel, lodging and meals in
connection therewith), entertainment, merchandise and other
similar items. The Company may also pay asset-based
commissions (sometimes called trail commissions) in addition
to Purchase Payment-based commissions. Investment
professionals may also receive other payments from us for
services that do not directly involve the sale of the Contracts,
including personnel recruitment and training, production of
promotional literature and similar services.
As a result of these compensation arrangements, investment
professionals may have a financial incentive to offer or
recommend the Contract over another investment. You should
ask your investment professional for additional information
about the compensation he or she receives in connection with
your purchase of the Contract.
Other Information
- Distribution of
the Contract
Should I
Exchange My
Contract?
You should only exchange your contract if you determine, after
comparing the features, fees, and risks of both contracts, and
any fees or penalties to terminate your existing contract, that it
is better for you to purchase the new contract rather than
continue to own your existing contract. Some investment
professionals may have a financial incentive to offer you a
new contract in place of the one you already own.

(1) The Fund operates as a fund of funds.
(2) The Vanguard Group, Inc. has requested that the Company no longer make the Vanguard VIF Small Company Growth
Portfolio available for new investments. Existing contract owners with allocation to the Vanguard VIF Small Company Growth
Portfolio can continue to invest in the portfolio.
(3) These Funds and their investment advisers have entered into contractual fee waivers or expense reimbursement
arrangements. The temporary fee reductions are reflected in their annual expenses. Those contractual arrangements are
designed to reduce total annual Fund operating expenses for Contract Owners and will continue past the current year.
(4) Effective May 1, 2022, these Funds are no longer available for new investments. Existing contract owners with allocation to
these Funds can continue to invest in the portfolios.
Risk Control Account Options
The following is a list of the Risk Control Account options currently available under the Contract. We may
change the features of the Risk Control Accounts listed below (including the Index and the Caps), offer new
Risk Control Accounts, and terminate existing Risk Control Accounts. We will provide you with written notice
before making any changes other than changes to the Caps. Information about current Caps is available at
https://www.trustage.com/horizonII-annuity-rates.
Note: Each Risk Control Account Period is six years, and each Risk Control Account Maturity Date is
the last day of the six-year Risk Control Account Period. During the Accumulation Period, if you
surrender your Contract or take a partial withdrawal on any day other than its Risk Control Account
A-6
Maturity Date, we will apply a Market Value Adjustment (which may be positive or negative). This may
result in a significant reduction in your Contract Value that could exceed any protection from Index
loss that would be in place if you held the option until the Risk Control Account Maturity Date.

(1)Each Index is a "price return index" and not a "total return index." Performance of the relevant Index
does not reflect dividends paid on the securities comprising the Index, and therefore calculation of
Index performance under the Contract does not reflect the full Investment performance of the
underlying securities. This will reduce Index returns and cause the Index to underperform a direct
investment in the securities comprising the Index.
(2)We credit interest to each Risk Control Account at the end of each Risk Control Account Year during
the six-year Risk Control Account Period by comparing the change in the Index from each Risk Control
Account Anniversary (the first day of the Risk Control Account Year) to the last day of the current Risk
Control Account Year. Rebalancing among Risk Control Accounts occurs on each Risk Control Account
Maturity Date (the last day of each six-year Risk Control Account Period). No additional values can be
transferred, and no additional Purchase Payments can be allocated, to a Risk Control Account until the
Risk Control Account Maturity Date. Moreover, withdrawals and surrenders from a Risk Control
Account on any day other than its Risk Control Account Maturity Date will be subject to the Market
Value Adjustment.
The Floors for the Secure Account and Growth Account will not change during the life of your Contract. During
the life of your Contract, an Allocation Option with a Floor of 0% will always be available. Otherwise, we may
add, change, or discontinue Allocation Options, including Indices and Funds underlying the Variable
Subaccounts from time to time as described in this Prospectus. The remaining Allocation Options may
have terms that are unacceptable to you and may not provide any protection from losses, which could
result in the loss of the entire amount of your Contract Value.
We set the Cap each year for the next Contract Year. In return for accepting some risk of loss to your Risk
Control Account Value allocated to the Growth Account, the Cap for the Growth Account is higher than the Cap
for the Secure Account. The Cap will always be at least 1%.
The availability of Variable Subaccounts and Risk Control Accounts may vary by state and depending on the
broker-dealer through which the Contract is sold.
This Updating Summary Prospectus incorporates by reference the Prospectus and Statement of
Additional Information for the Contract, both dated May 1, 2026, as supplemented. The SAI may be
obtained, free of charge, in the same manner as the Prospectus.
