Office of General Counsel VIA EDGAR TRANSMISSION Re: MEMBERS Life Insurance Company TruStage™ ZoneChoice Annuity Post-Effective Amendment 2 to Registration Statement on Form S-1 File No. 333-271753

Dear Commissioners:

On behalf of MEMBERS Life Insurance Company (the “Company”), we are transmitting for filing under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “1933 Act”) a Post-Effective Amendment 2 Registration Statement on Form S-1 (the “Registration Statement”) for certain single premium deferred annuity contracts with index-linked interest options (the “Contracts”). The purpose of this filing is to include an enhancement to the current Contract.

The Company represents that the Registration Statement is substantially similar to the Initial registration statement for the Contracts previously filed on Form S-1 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on May 9, 2023 (File No. 333-271753) and declared effective by the Commission staff on May 15, 2023 (the “Prior Registration Statement”). Per the Staff’s request, the Registration Statement contains two prospectuses – one for Contracts Issued on or before May 25, 2023, and one for Contracts Issued after May 25, 2023. Changes from the Prior Registration Statement include the following:

• addition of a -20% buffer for six-year interest terms. The Contract enhancement is set forth in the prospectus for Contracts Issued after May 25, 2023 and would apply to new Contract Owners and existing Contract Owners with Contracts Issued after May 25, 2023.

• changes to “Annual Free Withdrawal Amount.” This change is set forth in a supplement to the prospectus for Contracts Issued on or before May 25, 2023 and applies only to existing Contract Owners with Contracts issued before September 25, 2022.

The Registration Statement takes into account the Staff’s comments to the revised disclosures, which were communicated by phone and email. Based on the aforementioned, the Company respectfully requests that the Commission staff afford the Registration Statement expedited review.

The Company requested permission to use these financial statements in connection with certain registration statements on Form S-1 that are currently effective or may be filed in the future for index-linked annuity contracts, in satisfaction of the financial information required by Form S-1, including the requirements of Items 11(e), 11(f) and 11(g) and Item 16(b) of Form S-1.
