You probably think of life insurance as a tool to protect your loved ones if you pass away, but do you know that certain modern life insurance policies offer riders that can provide a financial resource if you experience a qualifying terminal, chronic or critical illness?
Accelerated Benefit Riders are optional, no-additional cost riders that can allow you to access all or part of your death benefit, while living, if you experience a qualifying terminal, chronic, or critical illness, or critical injury. The use of the benefit is unrestricted with the exception that ABR proceeds for chronic illness, and can only be used to pay for expenses incurred for Qualified Long-Term Care services.
Since the benefit is unrestricted, once you qualify, you can use the benefit for any reason.
Benefits might be used for, but are not limited to:
The most common types of living benefits are:
If you lose your ability to earn money due to a terminal illness, an ADB rider lets you take a portion of your payout to make life more comfortable while still retaining the bulk of the payout for your beneficiaries.
If you become disabled and are unable to meet your premiums, this living benefits rider will make the payments void.
If you require residential care or in-home care, this can remove the financial strain on your family and they can still receive the bulk of the original payout upon your death.
