Benefits provided through the critical, chronic and terminal illness accelerated death benefit riders are subject to certain limitations and exclusions. The actual benefit paid to the policy owner will be less than the amount that is accelerated because the amount is discounted to reflect early payment of the policy’s death benefit. Administrative fees per request apply. Amounts payable under the critical and chronic illness riders vary based in part on the nature and severity of the Insured’s health condition and the Insured’s remaining life expectancy at the time of the acceleration as determined by the company. Riders should not be the sole basis to purchase any life insurance policy. Benefits paid under accelerated death benefit riders, including the long term care rider, will reduce the life insurance policy’s death benefit and policy value. Consideration should be given to whether life insurance needs would still be met if rider benefits are paid out in full.
