Human Life Value Approach vs. Needs Analysis Approach - CORRECT
ANSWER-Human Life Value approach is a measure of the projected future
earnings and services of a person at risk in the event of a premature death.
The objective is to provide the proper amount of coverage as determined by the
value of the individual to his/her dependents using the following factors:
- The individual's age and gender
- The individual's occupation, annual wage, and planned retirement age
- Inflation
Needs Analysis Approach determines a need for coverage upon the premature
death of an individual.
It always assumes the death of the individual to be immediate and factors the
following steps into arriving at the proper amount of coverage needed:
- Calculate all financial needs caused by immediate death, including debts,
medical bills, and final expenses
- Provide lifetime income to the spouse
- Pay off mortgage or other debts
- Provide funds for children's education
- Subtracts any assets available to fund financial needs after death (such as
retirement plan, other insurance, liquid investments, separate savings)
, Waiver of Premium - CORRECT ANSWER-Life Insurance Disability Rider
If the insured becomes totally disabled, the insurer will waive premiums for the
duration of the disability or the end of the policy, whichever occurs first.
To qualify for the waiver, the insured must be disabled for a waiting period of 3-6
months.
The policyowner must continue to pay premiums during the waiting period, but
once eligible, the waiver is retroactive to the start of the disability and the
premiums will be refunded.
During the disability, the insured will credit the premiums to the policy and all
benefits, such as cash value accumulation and dividend payments, will continue.
Disability Income Rider - CORRECT ANSWER-Life Insurance Disability Rider
In the event of total disability and after the initial waiting period (such as 6
months), premiums are waived and the insured is paid a monthly income.
The monthly disability income benefit is typically limited to a percentage of the
face value.
The benefit paid from the rider does not reduce the death benefits paid out upon
death.
Accidental Death Benefit rider - CORRECT ANSWER-Life Insurance Rider
affecting the death benefit amount
May be called multiple indemnity rider
In the event of a claim, the policy normally pays double or triple the face amount
only if the insured's death was a result of an accident.
The benefit is payable only if death occurs before a specific age and within 90
days of the accident
