Chronic Illness

What qualifies?

A doctor has certified, within the past 12 months, that you are unable to perform two out of six “activities of daily living” for a period of at least 90 consecutive days without assistance, or that you are cognitively impaired.

Activities of Daily Living
1. Bathing
2. Continence
3. Dressing
4. Eating
5. Toileting
6. Transferring
Receiving your benefit
Generally, the rider needs to be in force for a period of two years. There is an annual limit on the amount of benefits you can receive. There is also a lifetime limit on the amount of benefits you can receive across all Accelerated Benefits Riders.
Here if you need it
Note that you do not have to be in a licensed facility to receive payments, and that you can apply for benefits every 12 months. Benefits can be used for any reason (with 1 state exception), and do not need to be used for medical expenses.
If you should need it, and you qualify, after the waiting period you can:
• Accelerate portions of your death benefit every year to receive benefit payments.
• Leave the policy intact for your beneficiary.
