Adding a term rider can make a big difference for the people who depend on you.
It doesn't always take major changes or life events to make your coverage fall short. Consider your current coverage amount, and some of the things your loved ones may need funds for. Your coverage could be too low — especially with any changes in your finances and the cost of living going up over time. It's easy to see why adding a term rider might be a smart move for you and your loved ones.
Get up to DOUBLE your coverage amount ... or choose what's right for you.
You know what works best for you, your loved ones, and your budget. So choose the added amount that makes the most sense for your unique needs.
It's so easy to apply - no medical exam, just health information.
You can apply in a few minutes, all from home. Acceptance is based on your answers to a few health questions, and other information you provide or give us permission to obtain.
It's billed right along with your current term coverage. One easy payment to manage.
To keep things easy, the added premium will be billed right on the same invoice or automatic payment you currently pay. Rate increases for the rider also occur at the same five-year age bands as your existing term coverage.
Keep the coverage until age 80. Or exchange it for whole life and keep it as long as you live.
This added group protection is designed to be there when you're likely to need it most. Just pay premiums when due, make sure your application doesn't have any material misrepresentations about your medical history, and keep your current term insurance in place.
Need the added coverage for longer? Exchange it for permanent life insurance at any time, and you can keep it for life. Your rate will be based on your age at that time.
