TRANSAMERICA FINANCIAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY

(A STOCK COMPANY)

Administrative Office: Clearwater, Florida

 

DISABILITY WAIVER OF MONTHLY DEDUCTIONS RIDER

 


 

IN THIS RIDER, the Primary Insured is named on page 4 of the Policy. Transamerica Financial Life Insurance Company will be referred to as We, Our or Us.

 


 

Benefit

  

We will waive the Monthly Deductions for this Policy and any attached Riders when We receive due proof that the Primary Insured’s total disability has existed continuously for at least six months, as provided in this Rider. No Monthly Deduction will be waived which falls due more than one year prior to receipt at Our Administrative Office of Written Notice of claim.

    

While the Primary Insured is totally disabled and receiving benefits under this Rider, no grace period will begin for this Policy, provided the Cash Value minus loans and accrued loan interest remains positive.

Total Disability

  

During the first two years of disability, total disability means the Primary Insured’s complete inability, because of bodily injury or disease, to engage in the Primary Insured’s occupation at the time disability began. The Primary Insured’s occupation may include enrollment in school or college as a full-time student.

    

After the first two years of disability, total disability means the Primary Insured’s complete inability, because of bodily injury or disease, to engage in any gainful occupation for which the Primary Insured is qualified by education, training or experience. Such bodily injury must occur or disease must first manifest itself after the date this Rider is signed by Us.

    

We will also recognize as total disability the Primary Insured’s complete and irrecoverable loss of any one of the following:

     1.    sight of both eyes;
     2.    use of both hands or both feet; or
     3.    use of one hand and one foot.

Risks Not Covered

  

We will not waive Monthly Deductions if the Primary Insured’s total disability results from:

     1.    sight of both eyes;
     2.    service in the military or naval forces of any country when such country is engaged in war, whether declared or not; or
     3.    bodily injury sustained while in or on, or in consequence of having been in or on, any device for aerial navigation, or in descending from or with, or while adjusting, operating or handling any such device. This restriction does not apply while actually riding as a fare-paying passenger in an aircraft operated on regular schedule by an incorporated passenger carrier over its established air route.

Incontestability

   This Rider shall be incontestable after it has been In Force while the Primary

total disability has continued for two consecutive years, We will not require such
proof more than once a year. We may require the Primary Insured’s physical
examination at Our expense by a physician of Our choice as part of any proof of
total disability. We will not waive any further Monthly Deductions if proof is not
furnished as required.

Deductions will be waived for that period of disability.
