RIDER TERMS AND PROVISIONS

 

 

If an Owner shown on the Contract Specifications on the Issue Date develops a Terminal Illness, we will waive Withdrawal Charges in accordance with the conditions set out in this Endorsement. The request for waiver must be received by us on our form(s).

At the time of the withdrawal or surrender request, we must receive proof of such Terminal Illness which shall include, but not be limited to, certification by a Licensed Physician who: (i) has examined the Owner and is qualified to provide such certification, and (ii) is neither an Owner, an Annuitant or a Family Member of an Owner or an Annuitant.

We will provide the Owner with a written claim form within 10 working days after we receive a request for a partial withdrawal or full surrender. If we do not provide a claim form within 10 working days, the Owner will be deemed to have complied with the claim requirements if we receive written proof covering the occurrence, the character and the extent of the Terminal Illness for which the claim is made.

We reserve the right to require a second opinion and to have the Owner examined by a Licensed Physician of our choosing and at our expense. In the event the second opinion conflicts with the first, the second opinion controls.

If the Company finds proof of the Owner’s Terminal Illness to be insufficient, the Owner will be notified of the denial and provided with the opportunity to accept or reject the withdrawal or surrender proceeds, subject to all applicable Withdrawal Charges.

If the Owner is a Non-Natural person, the Annuitant will be considered the Owner for purposes of this Endorsement.

This Endorsement will terminate upon the Company’s receipt of the Owner’s request to terminate it or upon termination of your contract. Termination of this Endorsement will not prejudice the waiver of any Withdrawal Charge that occurred while this Endorsement was in force.
