Disability Waiver of Premium Rider


TRANSAMERICA FINANCIAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY

(A STOCK COMPANY)

 

Home Office: Purchase, New York

Administrative Office: Clearwater, Florida

 

DISABILITY WAIVER OF PREMIUM 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 begin to apply the Waiver of Premium Benefit shown on page 4 of the Policy 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. We will apply the Waiver of Premium Benefit as if it is a premium paid, and will allocate the resulting Net Premium into the Policy’s Cash Value. At that time, We will also apply a retroactive Waiver of Premium payment equal to six months of benefit. While total disability continues, We will apply the benefit each month on the Monthiversary. No benefit will be provided which falls due:
     1.    more than one year prior to receipt at Our Administrative Office of Written Notice of claim; or
     2.    after recovery from total disability; or
     3.    after the Termination of this Rider.

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 a 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 provide any benefits if total disability results from:
     1.    intentionally self-inflicted bodily injury;
     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.

Consideration

   This Rider is issued in consideration of:
     1.    the application for this Rider; and
     2.    the payment of the Initial premium.

Incontestability

   This Rider shall be incontestable after it has been In Force, while the Primary Insured is still alive, for two years after the effective date of this Rider.

Notice of Claim

   Before We provide any benefits, We must be given Written Notice of claim at Our Administrative Office. Notice must be given to Us while total disability continues and while the Primary Insured is still alive, or as soon as reasonably possible.

Proof of Disability

   Before We apply any benefits, We must receive proof that the Primary Insured’s total disability has existed continuously for at least six months and began prior to the Anniversary on or following the Primary Insured’s 60th birthday.
     We may require proof at reasonable intervals that total disability continues. After 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 provide any further benefits if proof is not furnished as required.

Recovery from Disability

   If and when the Primary Insured recovers from total disability, no further benefits will be provided for that period of disability.

Termination

   This Rider will terminate on the earliest of:
     1.    the Anniversary on or following the Primary Insured’s 60th birthday, unless the Primary Insured is totally disabled;
     2.    in respect to benefits accruing during the continuance of an existing total disability after the Anniversary on or following the Primary Insured’s 60th birthday, the later of the date of recovery from total disability, or the Anniversary on or following the Primary Insured’s 100th birthday;
     3.    the date this Policy terminates;
     4.    the Monthiversary on which this Rider is terminated upon written request by the Owner; or
     5.    the effective date of the Extended Term Insurance Benefit, if elected.
     It is possible that additional premium payments will be required to keep this Policy In Force while the Waiver of Premium Benefit is being paid.
