By Supplement dated March 3, 1997, Ameritas Variable Life Insurance Company
amends its prospectus at page 4 so that the definition of "Guaranteed Death
Benefit Period" reads as follows:
GUARANTEED DEATH BENEFIT PERIOD - The number of years the Guaranteed Death
Benefit provision will apply. The period will vary based upon the Insured's
Issue Age and rating class, and may be restricted as a result of state law.
The period ranges from 3 to 25 years. This benefit is provided without an
additional policy charge. (See page 17.)
