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.

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.

death.

days of the accident
