RE: Registration of Securities
Horace Mann Life Insurance Company Allegiance Separate Account A
In my capacity as General Counsel of Horace Mann Educators Corporation, I am
familiar with matters pertaining to the federal securities laws and the
securities offered by the Horace Mann Life Insurance Company Allegiance Separate
Account A, including the preparation and review of registration statements and
post-effective amendments pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933.
After reviewing the relevant documents and making suitable inquiry of Separate
Account personnel, I am of the opinion that the securities issued in fiscal year
1996 by the Separate Account were legally issued, fully paid and non-assessable.
Sincerely,
Ann Caparros<PAGE>
