PRINCIPAL RISKS OF
INVESTING IN A
POLICY
Not a Short- Term
Investment
This policy is not a short-term investment and is not appropriate for
an investor who needs ready access to cash. The policy is unsuitable
as a short-term savings vehicle because of substantial policy-level
charges, including the premium charge and the surrender charge, as
well as potential adverse tax consequences from such short-term use.
Early Surrender or
Withdrawal Risk/Not a
Short-Term Investment
Risks Associated with
Investment Options
An investment in this policy is subject to the risk of poor
performance and can vary depending on the performance of the
account allocation options available under the policy (e.g.,
portfolios). Each such option (including the fixed account and
indexed accounts) will have its own unique risks, and you should
review these options before making an allocation decision. You can
find the prospectuses and other information about the portfolios at
dfinview.com/JohnHancock/PUFT/ASVUL2020.

Risks
Your investment in the policy is subject to risks related to John
Hancock USA, including that the obligations, under the fixed
account and indexed accounts, guarantees, or benefits are subject to
the claims-paying ability of John Hancock USA. Information about
John Hancock USA, including its financial strength ratings, is
available upon request from your John Hancock USA representative.
Our current financial strength ratings can also be obtained by

Policy Lapse
Unless the No-Lapse Guarantee is in effect, this policy will go into
default if at the beginning of any policy month the policy’s net cash
surrender value would be zero or below after deducting the monthly
deductions then due. The “net cash surrender value” is your policy
value, less any policy debt, and less any applicable surrender charges.
This can happen as a result of insufficient premium payments, poor
performance of the variable or general account options you have
chosen, withdrawals, or unpaid loans or loan interest. If a default is
not cured within a 61-day grace period, your policy will lapse without
value, and no death benefit or other benefits will be payable. You can
apply to reinstate a policy that has gone into default, subject to
conditions including payment of a specified amount of additional
premiums.
Lapse and
Reinstatement
Investment Restrictions [Text Block] There are restrictions that may limit the variable investment account options and general account options, under the fixed account and indexed accounts that you may choose, as well as limitations on the transfer of policy value among those options. These restrictions may include a monthly limit on the number of transfers you may make. We may also impose additional restrictions to discourage market timing and disruptive trading activity.In particular, your allocation options will be affected if you elect to take a loan or receive benefits under certain supplementary benefit riders.Among other things, the policy also allows us to eliminate the shares of a portfolio or substitute shares of another new or existing portfolio, subject to applicable legal requirements.
Optional Benefit Restrictions [Text Block] There are restrictions and limitations relating to optional benefits, as well as conditions under which an optional benefit may be modified or terminated by us. For example, certain supplementary benefit riders may be subject to underwriting, and your election of an option may result in restrictions upon some of the policy benefits, including availability of investment options.Availability of certain optional benefits may vary due to state limitations. See the Material State Variations table for more information.
Tax Implications [Text Block] You should consult with a tax professional to determine the tax implications of an investment in and payments received under the policy. There is no additional tax benefit to you if the policy is purchased through a tax-qualified plan. If we pay out any amount of your policy value upon surrender or partial withdrawal, all or part of that distribution would generally be treated as a return of the premiums you’ve paid and not subjected to income tax, with any portion not treated as a return of your premiums includible in your income. Distributions also are subject to tax penalties under some circumstances. If your policy is a modified endowment contract, distributions, including policy loans, are treated as coming first from the gain in the policy and are includible in your income.
Investment Professional Compensation [Text Block] Some investment professionals may receive compensation for selling the policy, including by means of commissions and revenue sharing arrangements. These investment professionals may have a financial incentive to offer or recommend this policy over another investment.
Exchanges [Text Block] Some investment professionals may have a financial incentive to offer you a new policy in place of the one you already own, and you should only exchange your policy if you determine, after comparing the features, fees, and risks of both policies, that it is preferable for you to purchase the new policy rather than continue to own the existing policy.
Item 4. Fee Table [Text Block] The following tables describe the fees and expenses that you will pay when buying, owning, and surrendering or making withdrawals from the policy. Please refer to your policy specifications for information about the specific fees you will pay each year based on the options you have elected. The first table describes the fees and expenses that you will pay at the time that you buy the policy, surrender or make withdrawals from the policy, or transfer policy value between investment options.

(1) The “cost of insurance” charge is determined by multiplying the net amount of insurance for which we are at risk (the “NAR”) by the applicable cost of insurance rate. The rates vary widely depending upon age at issue, the length of time the policy has been in effect, the insurance risk characteristics and (generally) the gender of the insured persons. The minimum rate shown is the rate in the first policy year for two 20 year old female standard non-smoker underwriting risks. The maximum rate shown is the rate in the fourteenth policy year for two 90 year old male substandard smoker underwriting risks. The representative insured persons rate shown is for a 55 year old male standard non-smoker underwriting risk and a 52 year old female standard non-smoker underwriting risks. These charges may not be particularly relevant to your current situation, and you can obtain information about the specific charges applicable to you from your John Hancock USA representative. (2) This charge is determined by multiplying the Base Face Amount at issue by the applicable rate. The rates vary by the sex, age, and risk classification at issue of each insured person. The minimum rate shown is the rate in the first policy year for a 20-year old female super preferred non-smoker underwriting risk and a 20-year old female preferred non-smoker underwriting risk. The maximum rate shown is the rate in the first policy year for two 90-year old male substandard smoker underwriting risks. The representative insured persons rate shown is the rate for a 55-year old male standard non-smoker underwriting risk and a 52- year old female standard non-smoker underwriting risk. This charge continues for a maximum of 30 years. These charges may not be particularly relevant to your current situation, and you can obtain information about the specific charges applicable to you from your John Hancock USA representative. (3) This charge is determined by multiplying the greater of the Supplemental Face Amount at issue and the Supplemental Face Amount on the processing date by the applicable rate. The rates vary by the sex, age, and risk classification at issue of each insured person. The minimum rate shown is the rate in the first policy year for a 41-year old female standard plus non-smoker underwriting risk and a 53-year old female super-preferred non-smoker underwriting risk. The maximum rate shown is the rate in the first policy year for two 90-year old male substandard smoker underwriting risks. The representative insured persons rate shown is the rate for a 55-year old male standard non-smoker underwriting risk and a 52-year old female standard non-smoker underwriting risk. This charge continues for a maximum of 30 years. These charges may not be particularly relevant to your current situation, and you can obtain information about the specific charges applicable to you from your John Hancock USA representative. (4) This charge is not currently imposed, but we reserve the right do so in the policy. This charge only applies to that portion of policy value held in the variable investment accounts. The charge determined does not apply to any fixed account or indexed account. (5) The maximum effective annual interest rate we can charge for the loan account is 3.25% for policy years 1-10 and 2.25% for policy years 11 and thereafter. The minimum interest that the loan account will earn is equal to the difference between the maximum annual interest rate we charge for the loan minus the Maximum Loan Interest Credited Differential. The “Maximum Loan Interest Credited Differential” is the difference between the annual interest rate we charge for the loan minus the interest rate we credit for the loan. (6) The Return of Premium Death Benefit Rider charge is determined by multiplying NAR by the applicable cost of insurance rate. The rates vary widely depending upon the age at issue, the length of time the policy has been in effect, the insurance risk characteristics and (generally) the sex of the insured persons. The minimum rate shown is the rate in the first policy year for two 20 year old female standard non-smoker underwriting risks. The maximum rate shown is the rate in the fourteenth policy year for two 90 year old male substandard smoker underwriting risks. The representative insured persons rate shown is for a 55 year old male standard non-smoker underwriting risk and a 52 year old female standard non-smoker underwriting risk. These charges may not be particularly relevant to your current situation, and you can obtain information about the specific charges applicable to you from your John Hancock USA representative.The next item shows the minimum and maximum total operating expenses charged by the portfolios that you may pay periodically during the time that you own the policy.

Item 5. Principal Risks [Table Text Block] Principal Risks of Investing in the Policy Lapse Risk If the net cash surrender value is insufficient to pay the charges when due and the No-Lapse Guarantee is in default, your policy can terminate (i.e., “lapse”). For example, this can happen because you haven’t paid enough premium, because the performance of the variable investment or general account options you’ve chosen has been poor, because the performance of the S&P 500 has been poor or because of a combination of all factors. Since withdrawals and policy charges reduce your policy value, these also increase the risk of lapse. Policy loans also increase the risk of lapse. There is no guarantee that your policy will not lapse even if you pay your planned premium. Investment Risk/Risk of Loss The policy offers a number of variable investment accounts, as listed in the APPENDIX. The investment performance of any variable investment account may be good or bad, and you may lose money on amounts you invest in a policy. Your policy value will increase or decrease based on the investment performance of the variable investment accounts you’ve chosen. The variable investment accounts cover a broad spectrum of investment styles and strategies, some variable investment accounts are riskier than others. These risks (and potential rewards) are discussed in detail in the prospectuses of the portfolios. The death benefit may also increase or decrease with investment experience. An investment in a policy is also subject to risks related to John Hancock USA, including that the obligations (including under the fixed account and indexed account option), guarantees, or benefits are subject to the claims-paying ability of John Hancock USA. Information about John Hancock USA, including its financial strength ratings, is available upon request from your John Hancock USA representative. Our current financial strength ratings can also be obtained by contacting the Service Office at 1-800-732-5543.Risks Associated with Indexed Accounts The index segment interest credit will vary based upon the performance of the S&P 500 (excluding dividends) subject to the application of the participation rate, the segment cap rate and the guaranteed segment floor rate (“indexed account parameters”). You bear the risk that performance of the S&P 500 may result in index segment interest credits that are low enough to require you to increase your premium payments in order to keep your policy in force. It is within our discretion to set the segment cap rate and participation rate for any new segment term, subject to their respective guaranteed rates. If we reduce the segment cap rate or the participation rate for future segment terms, the amount of index segment interest credit which you may have otherwise received would be reduced and you may need to increase your premium payments in order to keep your policy in force. If the S&P 500 on the segment maturity date has increased from the segment initiation date by a percentage that exceeds the segment cap rate for the segment term, the indexed segment interest credit applied to the indexed account for that segment will be limited to the segment cap rate. Withdrawals from an indexed account will reduce the amount of any index segment interest credit for any impacted segment, as we will not credit any interest on any amount that does not remain in the segment for its full term. If a policy terminates before a segment maturity date due to death of the insured, surrender of the net cash surrender value or insufficient premium, no index segment interest credit will be applied for that segment.Transfer Risk There is a risk that you will not be able to transfer your policy value from one variable investment account to another because of limitations on the dollar amount or frequency of transfers you can make. The limitations on transfers out of the fixed account are more restrictive than those that apply to transfers out of variable investment accounts. If you purchase certain supplementary benefit riders you will be subject to special transfer restrictions. Transfers from an indexed account to any other account can only be made on a segment maturity date. To discourage market timing and disruptive trading activity, we impose restrictions on transfers and reserve the right to change, suspend or terminate telephone, facsimile and internet transaction privileges. While we seek to identify and prevent disruptive trading activity, it may not always be possible to do so. Therefore, no assurance can be given that the restrictions we impose will be successful in preventing all disruptive trading and avoiding harm to long term investors. Early Surrender or Withdrawal Risk/Not a Short-Term Investment This policy is not a short-term investment and is not appropriate for an investor who needs ready access to cash. There are surrender charges assessed if you surrender your policy in the first ten policy years. Depending on the policy value at the time you are considering surrender, there may be little or no surrender value payable to you. Upon surrender or withdrawal, we will not apply index segment interest credits to any amounts taken from segments which have not reached their segment maturity date. Tax Risks In order for you to receive the tax benefits extended to life insurance under the Code, your policy must comply with certain requirements of the Code. We will monitor your policy for compliance with these requirements, but a policy might fail to qualify as life insurance in spite of our monitoring, which can have adverse tax consequences. If the policy were determined not to qualify as life insurance under the Code, you would be taxed on any income or gains those assets generate. In other words, you would lose the value of the so-called “tax-deferred inside build-up” that is a major benefit of life insurance. There is a tax risk associated with policy loans. Although no part of a loan is treated as income to you when the loan is made unless your policy is a “modified endowment contract,” surrender or lapse of the policy with a loan outstanding would result in the loan being treated as a distribution at the time of lapse or surrender. This could result in a considerable tax bill. Under certain circumstances involving large amounts of outstanding loans and insured persons of advanced age, you might find yourself having to choose between high premium requirements to keep your policy from lapsing and a significant tax burden if you allow the lapse to occur. Tax consequences of ownership or receipt of policy proceeds (including surrender or withdrawal proceeds) under Federal, state and local estate, inheritance, gift and other tax laws can vary greatly depending upon the circumstances of each owner or beneficiary. There can also be unfavorable tax consequences on such things as the change of policy ownership or assignment of ownership interests. For these and all the other reasons mentioned above, we recommend you consult with a qualified tax adviser before buying the policy and before exercising certain rights under the policy. There are tax risks associated with the election of certain supplementary benefit riders (see “Tax Consequences of Electing Certain Supplementary Benefit Riders”). Cybersecurity Risks Our business and operations are highly dependent upon the effective operation of our computer systems and those of our third-party business partners. As a result, there are potential operational and information security risks associated with attack, damage, or unauthorized access to the technologies and systems on which our business depends. These risks include, among other things, the unauthorized access, theft, loss, misuse, corruption, and destruction of data maintained online or digitally, denial of service on websites and other operational disruption, and unauthorized release of confidential customer information. Cyber-attacks affecting us, any third-party administrator, the underlying portfolios, intermediaries, and other affiliated or third-party service providers may adversely affect us and your policy value. For instance, cyber-attacks may interfere with the processing of actions taken on your policy, including the processing of transactions and orders from our website or with the underlying portfolios, impact our ability to calculate unit values or an underlying portfolio to calculate a net asset value, or cause the release and possible destruction of confidential customer or business information. Cybersecurity risks may also impact the issuers of securities in which the underlying portfolios invest, which may cause the portfolios underlying your policy to lose value. While measures have been implemented that are designed to reduce cybersecurity risks, there can be no guarantee or assurance that we, the underlying portfolios, or our service providers will not suffer losses affecting your policy due to cyber-attacks or information security breaches in the future.
Item 10. Standard Death Benefits (N-6) [Table Text Block] Additional Information About Standard Death Benefits Requesting an increase or decrease in coverage. After the first policy year, you may make a written request for an unscheduled increase in Supplemental Face Amount. We must receive your written request within two months of your next policy anniversary. Generally, each such increase must be at least $50,000 and increases in any one policy year cannot exceed 25% of the Total Face Amount at issue. You will have to provide us with evidence that the insured persons qualify for the same risk classification that applied to them at issue. Generally, any increase will be effective on the next policy anniversary following the date we approve the request. Any unscheduled increase in Supplemental Face Amount after issue would first require that you terminate the Return of Premium Death Benefit and Four-Year Term Riders you may have elected at issue. The No-Lapse Guarantee Period for the Base Face Amount under any policy that has an unscheduled Supplemental Face Amount increase is limited to the first five policy years. After the first policy year, we may approve a reduction in the Base Face Amount or the Supplemental Face Amount, but only if (i) the remaining Base Face Amount will be at least $250,000, (ii) the remaining Total Face Amount will at least equal the minimum required by the tax laws to maintain the policy’s life insurance status, and (iii) each decrease must be at least $50,000. An approved decrease will take effect on the monthly deduction date on or next following the date we approve the request. We reserve the right to require that the Supplemental Face Amount be fully depleted before the Base Face Amount can be reduced. Change of death benefit option. Under our current administrative rules, we permit the death benefit option to be changed from Option 2 to Option 1 after the first policy year. If you request in writing, and we approve a change from Option 2 to Option 1, your Total Face Amount after the change will equal your Total Face Amount before the change plus the policy value as of the effective date of the change. If you change from Option 2 to Option 1, your death benefit will change from one that may increase over time due to the investment experience of the variable investment accounts or the performance of the indexed accounts to one that is a level death benefit. Changing from Option 2 to Option 1 can also lower the monthly cost of insurance charge since this charge is lowered when the NAR is reduced; all other charges under the policy would remain the same. We reserve the right to limit a request for a change if the change would cause the policy to fail to qualify as life insurance for tax purposes. Notwithstanding other policy limits, if the change from Option 2 to 1 yields a Total Face Amount that is larger than 400% of the Total Face Amount at issue, we will allow for the increase. The change will take effect on the monthly deduction date on or next following the date the written request for the change is received at our Service Office. Tax consequences of coverage changes. A change in the death benefit option or a reduction in Face Amount may change the policy’s limits under the Federal tax law. To avoid having the policy cease to qualify as life insurance for tax purposes, we reserve the right to refuse or limit (1) a change in the death benefit option or (2) a reduction in Face Amount. Limitations on payment of death benefit. If either insured person commits suicide within certain time periods (generally within two years from the Issue Date of the policy), the amount payable will be equal to the premiums paid, less the amount of any policy debt on the date of death, and less any withdrawals. Also if an application misstated the age or sex of either insured person, we will adjust, if necessary, the Base Face Amount, any Supplemental Face Amount, and every other benefit to that which would have been purchased at the correct age or sex by the most recent cost of insurance charge.
Standard Death Benefit [Text Block] Standard Death Benefits Standard Death Benefits Effectiveness and Policy Date. After you apply for a policy, we gather and evaluate all the information we need to decide whether to issue a policy to you and, if so, what each insured person’s risk classification should be. After we approve an application for a policy and assign an appropriate insurance risk classification, we will prepare the policy for delivery. The policy will take effect only if all of the following conditions are satisfied: • The policy is delivered to and received by the applicant. • The Minimum Initial Premium is received by us. • Each insured person is living and there has been no deterioration in the insurability of the insured persons since the date of the application. If all of the above conditions are satisfied, the policy will take effect on the date shown in the policy as the “Policy Date.” That is the date on which we begin to take monthly deductions. Policy months, policy years and policy anniversaries are all measured from the Policy Date. Under limited circumstances, we may backdate a policy, upon request, by assigning a Policy Date earlier than the date the application is signed. However, in no event will a policy be backdated earlier than the earliest date allowed by state law, which is generally three months to one year prior to the date of application for the policy. The most common reasons for backdating are to preserve a younger age at issue for one or both of the insured persons or to retain a common monthly deduction date in certain corporate-owned life insurance cases involving multiple policies issued over time. If used to preserve age, backdating will result in lower insurance charges. However, monthly deductions will begin earlier than would otherwise be the case. Temporary insurance coverage. If a specified amount of premium is paid with the application for a policy and other conditions are met, we will provide temporary term life insurance coverage on the insured persons for a period prior to the time coverage under the policy takes effect. Such temporary term coverage will be subject to the terms and conditions described in the Temporary Life Insurance Agreement and Receipt attached to the application for the policy, including conditions to coverage and limits on amount and duration of coverage. Option 1 and Option 2. When the last surviving insured person dies, we will pay the death benefit minus any outstanding policy debt and unpaid fees and charges. There are two ways of calculating the death benefit. You must choose which one you want in the application. The two death benefit options are described below. • Option 1. The death benefit will equal the greater of (1) the Total Face Amount plus any amount payable under a supplementary benefit rider, or (2) the minimum death benefit (as described below). • Option 2. The death benefit will equal the greater of (1) the Total Face Amount plus any amount payable under a supplementary benefit rider, plus the policy value on the date of death of the last surviving insured person, or (2) the minimum death benefit. See the OTHER BENEFITS AVAILABLE UNDER THE POLICY and More About Certain Optional Benefits sections for more information about riders that may increase the death benefit. For the same premium payments, the death benefit under Option 2 will tend to be higher than the death benefit under Option 1. On the other hand, the cost of insurance charges (based on the higher NAR) will be higher under Option 2 to compensate us for the additional insurance risk. Because of that, the policy value will tend to be higher under Option 1 than under Option 2 for the same premium payments. Poor investment performance of the portfolios, expenses, and deduction of charges under the policy all will reduce the policy value and net cash surrender value and may also reduce the death benefit. However, favorable investment performance may increase the policy value, net cash surrender value, and death benefit. Therefore, if you experience better investment performance or lower expenses and charges than you assumed, you may be able to reduce your premium payments while maintaining the death benefit and other values under your policy; or if you continue to pay premiums at the same level, the death benefit and other values under your policy may increase. Conversely, if the investment performance falls short of what you assumed, or the expenses or charges are higher, the death benefit and other values under your policy may decrease unless you pay additional premiums. Base Face Amount and Supplemental Face Amount. Total Face Amount is composed of the Base Face Amount and any Supplemental Face Amount you elect. The Supplemental Face Amount you can have generally cannot exceed 400% of the Base Face Amount at the Issue Date. Thereafter, scheduled and unscheduled increases to the Supplemental Face Amount are not permitted if the resulting Supplemental Face Amount would exceed 400% of the Total Face Amount at the Issue Date.There are a number of factors you should consider in determining whether to elect coverage in the form of Base Face Amount or in the form of Supplemental Face Amount.As noted above, you should consider a number of factors in determining whether to elect coverage in the form of Base Face Amount or in the form of Supplemental Face Amount. For the same amount of premiums paid, the amount of the Face Amount charge deducted from policy value and the amount of compensation paid to the selling insurance agent will generally be less if coverage is included as Supplemental Face Amount, rather than as Base Face Amount. On the other hand, the amount of any Supplemental Face Amount may be subject to a shorter No-Lapse Guarantee Period. If your priority is to reduce your Face Amount charges, you may wish to maximize the proportion of the Supplemental Face Amount. However, if your priority is to take advantage of the No-Lapse Guarantee feature after the fifth policy year or to maximize the death benefit when the younger insured person reaches age 121, then you may wish to maximize the proportion of the Base Face Amount. However, the No-Lapse Guarantee for the Base Face Amount under any policy that has elected an increasing Supplemental Face Amount or the Return of Premium Death Benefit Rider is limited to the first five policy years. Minimum death benefit. In order for a policy to qualify as life insurance under Federal tax law, there has to be a minimum amount of insurance in relation to policy value. The Federal tax law test that will be applied to determine whether your policy qualifies for life insurance is the cash value accumulation test. Under the cash value accumulation test, we compute the minimum death benefit each business day by multiplying the policy value on that date by the death benefit factor applicable on that date. The factor decreases as attained age increases. A table showing the factor for each age will appear in the policy. Factors applicable in the first policy year for certain combinations of an older male insured and a younger female insured for selected ages are shown in the table below.

These death benefit factors are subject to change based on the issue date of your policy. Please refer to your policy and contact your John Hancock USA representative for the death benefit factors that are specific to your policy. To the extent that the calculation of the minimum death benefit under the cash value accumulation test causes the death benefit to exceed our limits, we reserve the right to distribute a portion of the policy value so that the resulting amount of insurance is maintained within our limits. Alternatively, should we consider accepting the additional amount of insurance, we may require additional evidence of insurability. Calculation and payment of the death benefit. We will ordinarily pay any death benefit within seven days after we receive the last required form or request and any other documentation that may be required. You may choose to receive proceeds from the policy as a single sum. If we do not have information about the desired manner of payment within seven days after the date we receive documentation of the last surviving insured person’s death, we will pay the proceeds as a single sum. As permitted by state law and our current administrative procedures, death claim proceeds may be placed into an interest-bearing John Hancock retained asset account in the beneficiary’s name. The interest earned in a John Hancock retained asset account is normally subject to income tax. You should consult with your tax advisor if you have any questions regarding taxation of the interest earned. We will provide the beneficiary with a checkbook, so checks may be written for all or a part of the proceeds. The retained asset account is part of our general account and is subject to the claims of our creditors. It is not a bank account and it is not insured by the FDIC. We may receive a benefit from managing proceeds held in a retained asset account. Alternatively, you can elect to have proceeds of $1,000 or more applied to any of the other payment options we may offer at the time. You cannot choose an option if the monthly payments under the option would be less than $50. We will issue a supplementary agreement when the proceeds are applied to any alternative payment option. That agreement will spell out terms of the option in full. Please contact our Service Office for more information. Changes you may make. Subject to certain limitations and conditions, you may request a change from death benefit Option 2 to Option 1 or a reduction in your policy’s Face Amount. However, you may not request a change from Option 1 to Option 2 or a Face Amount increase.

Accumulation Survivorship Variable Universal Life 2020 | Risks Associated with Indexed Accounts  
Item 2. Key Information [Line Items]  
Principal Risk [Text Block] Risks Associated with Indexed Accounts The index segment interest credit will vary based upon the performance of the S&P 500 (excluding dividends) subject to the application of the participation rate, the segment cap rate and the guaranteed segment floor rate (“indexed account parameters”). You bear the risk that performance of the S&P 500 may result in index segment interest credits that are low enough to require you to increase your premium payments in order to keep your policy in force. It is within our discretion to set the segment cap rate and participation rate for any new segment term, subject to their respective guaranteed rates. If we reduce the segment cap rate or the participation rate for future segment terms, the amount of index segment interest credit which you may have otherwise received would be reduced and you may need to increase your premium payments in order to keep your policy in force. If the S&P 500 on the segment maturity date has increased from the segment initiation date by a percentage that exceeds the segment cap rate for the segment term, the indexed segment interest credit applied to the indexed account for that segment will be limited to the segment cap rate. Withdrawals from an indexed account will reduce the amount of any index segment interest credit for any impacted segment, as we will not credit any interest on any amount that does not remain in the segment for its full term. If a policy terminates before a segment maturity date due to death of the insured, surrender of the net cash surrender value or insufficient premium, no index segment interest credit will be applied for that segment.
Accumulation Survivorship Variable Universal Life 2020 | Transfer Risk  
Item 2. Key Information [Line Items]  
Principal Risk [Text Block] Transfer Risk There is a risk that you will not be able to transfer your policy value from one variable investment account to another because of limitations on the dollar amount or frequency of transfers you can make. The limitations on transfers out of the fixed account are more restrictive than those that apply to transfers out of variable investment accounts. If you purchase certain supplementary benefit riders you will be subject to special transfer restrictions. Transfers from an indexed account to any other account can only be made on a segment maturity date. To discourage market timing and disruptive trading activity, we impose restrictions on transfers and reserve the right to change, suspend or terminate telephone, facsimile and internet transaction privileges. While we seek to identify and prevent disruptive trading activity, it may not always be possible to do so. Therefore, no assurance can be given that the restrictions we impose will be successful in preventing all disruptive trading and avoiding harm to long term investors.
Accumulation Survivorship Variable Universal Life 2020 | Early Surrender or Withdrawal Risk  
Item 2. Key Information [Line Items]  
Principal Risk [Text Block] Early Surrender or Withdrawal Risk/Not a Short-Term Investment This policy is not a short-term investment and is not appropriate for an investor who needs ready access to cash. There are surrender charges assessed if you surrender your policy in the first ten policy years. Depending on the policy value at the time you are considering surrender, there may be little or no surrender value payable to you. Upon surrender or withdrawal, we will not apply index segment interest credits to any amounts taken from segments which have not reached their segment maturity date.
Accumulation Survivorship Variable Universal Life 2020 | Tax Risks  
Item 2. Key Information [Line Items]  
Principal Risk [Text Block] Tax Risks In order for you to receive the tax benefits extended to life insurance under the Code, your policy must comply with certain requirements of the Code. We will monitor your policy for compliance with these requirements, but a policy might fail to qualify as life insurance in spite of our monitoring, which can have adverse tax consequences. If the policy were determined not to qualify as life insurance under the Code, you would be taxed on any income or gains those assets generate. In other words, you would lose the value of the so-called “tax-deferred inside build-up” that is a major benefit of life insurance. There is a tax risk associated with policy loans. Although no part of a loan is treated as income to you when the loan is made unless your policy is a “modified endowment contract,” surrender or lapse of the policy with a loan outstanding would result in the loan being treated as a distribution at the time of lapse or surrender. This could result in a considerable tax bill. Under certain circumstances involving large amounts of outstanding loans and insured persons of advanced age, you might find yourself having to choose between high premium requirements to keep your policy from lapsing and a significant tax burden if you allow the lapse to occur. Tax consequences of ownership or receipt of policy proceeds (including surrender or withdrawal proceeds) under Federal, state and local estate, inheritance, gift and other tax laws can vary greatly depending upon the circumstances of each owner or beneficiary. There can also be unfavorable tax consequences on such things as the change of policy ownership or assignment of ownership interests. For these and all the other reasons mentioned above, we recommend you consult with a qualified tax adviser before buying the policy and before exercising certain rights under the policy. There are tax risks associated with the election of certain supplementary benefit riders (see “Tax Consequences of Electing Certain Supplementary Benefit Riders”).
Accumulation Survivorship Variable Universal Life 2020 | Cybersecurity Risks  
Item 2. Key Information [Line Items]  
Principal Risk [Text Block] Cybersecurity Risks Our business and operations are highly dependent upon the effective operation of our computer systems and those of our third-party business partners. As a result, there are potential operational and information security risks associated with attack, damage, or unauthorized access to the technologies and systems on which our business depends. These risks include, among other things, the unauthorized access, theft, loss, misuse, corruption, and destruction of data maintained online or digitally, denial of service on websites and other operational disruption, and unauthorized release of confidential customer information. Cyber-attacks affecting us, any third-party administrator, the underlying portfolios, intermediaries, and other affiliated or third-party service providers may adversely affect us and your policy value. For instance, cyber-attacks may interfere with the processing of actions taken on your policy, including the processing of transactions and orders from our website or with the underlying portfolios, impact our ability to calculate unit values or an underlying portfolio to calculate a net asset value, or cause the release and possible destruction of confidential customer or business information. Cybersecurity risks may also impact the issuers of securities in which the underlying portfolios invest, which may cause the portfolios underlying your policy to lose value. While measures have been implemented that are designed to reduce cybersecurity risks, there can be no guarantee or assurance that we, the underlying portfolios, or our service providers will not suffer losses affecting your policy due to cyber-attacks or information security breaches in the future.
Accumulation Survivorship Variable Universal Life 2020 | Risks Associated with Investment Options  
Item 2. Key Information [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block] An investment in this policy is subject to the risk of poor performance and can vary depending on the performance of the account allocation options available under the policy (e.g., portfolios). Each such option (including the fixed account and indexed accounts) will have its own unique risks, and you should review these options before making an allocation decision. You can find the prospectuses and other information about the portfolios at dfinview.com/JohnHancock/PUFT/ASVUL2020.

Accumulation Survivorship Variable Universal Life 2020 | Not Short Term Investment Risk [Member]  
Item 2. Key Information [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block] This policy is not a short-term investment and is not appropriate for an investor who needs ready access to cash. The policy is unsuitable as a short-term savings vehicle because of substantial policy-level charges, including the premium charge and the surrender charge, as well as potential adverse tax consequences from such short-term use.
Accumulation Survivorship Variable Universal Life 2020 | Investment Options Risk [Member]  
Item 2. Key Information [Line Items]  
Principal Risk [Text Block] Investment Risk/Risk of Loss The policy offers a number of variable investment accounts, as listed in the APPENDIX. The investment performance of any variable investment account may be good or bad, and you may lose money on amounts you invest in a policy. Your policy value will increase or decrease based on the investment performance of the variable investment accounts you’ve chosen. The variable investment accounts cover a broad spectrum of investment styles and strategies, some variable investment accounts are riskier than others. These risks (and potential rewards) are discussed in detail in the prospectuses of the portfolios. The death benefit may also increase or decrease with investment experience. An investment in a policy is also subject to risks related to John Hancock USA, including that the obligations (including under the fixed account and indexed account option), guarantees, or benefits are subject to the claims-paying ability of John Hancock USA. Information about John Hancock USA, including its financial strength ratings, is available upon request from your John Hancock USA representative. Our current financial strength ratings can also be obtained by contacting the Service Office at 1-800-732-5543.

Our current financial strength ratings can also be obtained by contacting the Service Office at 1-800-732-5543.
Accumulation Survivorship Variable Universal Life 2020 | Contract Lapse Risk [Member]  
Item 2. Key Information [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block] Unless the No-Lapse Guarantee is in effect, this policy will go into default if at the beginning of any policy month the policy’s net cash surrender value would be zero or below after deducting the monthly deductions then due. The “net cash surrender value” is your policy value, less any policy debt, and less any applicable surrender charges. This can happen as a result of insufficient premium payments, poor performance of the variable or general account options you have chosen, withdrawals, or unpaid loans or loan interest. If a default is not cured within a 61-day grace period, your policy will lapse without value, and no death benefit or other benefits will be payable. You can apply to reinstate a policy that has gone into default, subject to conditions including payment of a specified amount of additional premiums.
Principal Risk [Text Block] Lapse Risk If the net cash surrender value is insufficient to pay the charges when due and the No-Lapse Guarantee is in default, your policy can terminate (i.e., “lapse”). For example, this can happen because you haven’t paid enough premium, because the performance of the variable investment or general account options you’ve chosen has been poor, because the performance of the S&P 500 has been poor or because of a combination of all factors. Since withdrawals and policy charges reduce your policy value, these also increase the risk of lapse. Policy loans also increase the risk of lapse. There is no guarantee that your policy will not lapse even if you pay your planned premium.
