You have two options:
- Automatic Benefit Increases. During each of the first 10 years, your insurance amount can automatically increase by 10% to meet mounting needs. That allows your coverage to double gradually over 10 years, subject to the plan maximum of $750,000 - even if your health deteriorates.
To receive each increase, you must be under 60 and not totally disabled. There is no extra paperwork as you need not reapply or requalify. Your total premium increases annually to reflect your increased insurance. You may decline new ABIs at any time, but once declined, they cannot be resumed.
- Request an increase. If ABIs do not provide enough total coverage to meet your needs, you may apply for more insurance at any time.
You may reduce your coverage through a simple signed request. Your coverage and premium are then adjusted. While you receive no further Automatic Benefit Increases, other aspects of your coverage remain unchanged.
As you grow older and need less coverage, your insurance will gradually reduce.* Thus, as you reach the stage of life when mortgage balances are reduced and tuition bills paid, insurance amounts reflect your changed situation.
*See Premium Charts for the benefit reduction schedule.Coverage (and any increase) usually begins on the day your application is approved if you are not totally disabled and the premium is paid. However, after you receive approval, you may request a different effective date.
This term insurance continues to age 90 unless premiums are not paid on time. When your term insurance concludes at age 90, you may convert your coverage to an individual policy , regardless of your health. Your certificate of insurance provides full details about your conversion options.
