Accelerated Benefits Rider

You can collect a portion of your life insurance policy while you’re still alive!

What is an Accelerated Benefit Rider?
An accelerated benefits rider is an exciting new feature offered on some term and permanent life insurance policies. These riders allow the insured to access the death benefit while they are living to help pay for expenses related to long term care, critical illnesses like cancer, strokes, ALS, heart attacks, or even a terminal illness.

Many people who face these situations will still live a long time. Being able to access a life insurance policy while they are living could greatly improve the chances of receiving life-saving treatment that is not covered by health insurance, or they can use the funds however they want. Maybe take some time off from work or go on a much-needed vacation with the family.

With a Critical Illness Rider, all you need is a diagnosis of a heart attack, stroke, or cancer, to collect some money against the policy.

Some policies also include a Chronic Illness Rider where you can accelerate a portion of the death benefit if you need ongoing care for a chronic condition. This can be due to an illness, or an injury.  

There are only a handful of companies that offer term insurance with both the Critical and Chronic Illness Riders. These policies are a great value as most people will outlive a term policy and receive nothing.Most people are under the impression that all term policies are the same but that is not the case.
