Automatic Increase Benefit Rider

Not available with Business Expense Power

The Automatic Increase Benefit Rider increases the Total Disability Monthly Benefit automatically on the first premium due date on or after each of your first five policy anniversaries. No premiums are charged for the Automatic Increase Benefit Rider. However, when an automatic benefit increase takes place, policy premiums will increase in accordance with the increase in benefits.

A purchase may be accelerated in the event of a life change (marriage, death of a spouse, divorce, or birth or adoption of a child).
