How Accelerated Benefit Riders Work
Accelerated Benefit Riders (ABRs) are optional, no-additional-cost riders that can allow you to access all or part of the death benefit while you are living in the event of qualifying terminal illness, chronic illness, critical illness, or critical injury — or a qualifying diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease or Lewy Body Dementia.
Terminal Illness
Our Terminal Illness Rider allows for the payment of a portion of an insured’s death benefit, on a discounted basis, if the insured has an illness or chronic condition that can reasonably be expected to result in death in 24 months or less. There is no additional premium for this rider.
Alzheimer’s Disease and Lewy Body Dementia
The rider allows for payment of a portion of an insured’s death benefit, on a discounted basis, if the insured has a qualifying diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease or Ley Body Dementia. The rider will not be available if the client has a first degree relative (mother, father, or siblings) with a history of Alzheimer’s disease.
