Valuable Premium Waiver Feature
This coverage includes a valuable feature that guarantees uninterrupted coverage if you die while an insured child is under age 21. As long as coverage is in effect for two years prior to death, further premiums will be waived for each child until he or she turns 21. At that time, future premiums will become his or her responsibility.
The Beneficiary
The beneficiary will be the child’s parent, guardian or estate representative. At age 21, the child will become the owner and be able to change the beneficiary.
30-Day Guarantee
You’ll receive a Certificate of Insurance when coverage is approved. If you decide this coverage isn’t for you, for any reason, you can return it within 30 days and receive a refund of any premium you paid.
An Exclusion
If death results from suicide in the first two years, benefits will not be paid.1
