Question 15

Guaranteed Insurability allows additional insurance at specified dates or events, without evidence of insurability.

This rider provides the policyholder the flexibility to increase their coverage at designated times without having to provide proof of insurability, ensuring that they can secure additional benefits as their needs grow.

A) Return of Premium.

Return of Premium is a rider that refunds the premiums paid if the insured outlives the policy term. This option does not provide additional insurance without evidence of insurability, as it focuses on refunding premiums rather than enhancing coverage.

B) Guaranteed Insurability.

Guaranteed Insurability is the correct choice because it explicitly allows policyholders to purchase additional insurance at predetermined times or events without needing to prove their health status. This feature is particularly beneficial for individuals whose health may change over time.

C) Cost of Living.

The Cost of Living rider adjusts the policy's benefits to keep up with inflation. While it addresses the adequacy of benefits over time, it does not enable the insured to obtain additional insurance without evidence of insurability, focusing instead on maintaining the value of existing coverage.

D) Disability Income.

Disability Income is a rider that provides income replacement if the insured becomes disabled. This rider does not pertain to obtaining additional insurance without insurability evidence but rather ensures financial support during a disability period.

Conclusion

Guaranteed Insurability is the only option that allows for the acquisition of additional insurance without the requirement of evidence of insurability, making it crucial for individuals wanting to expand their coverage as circumstances change. All other options either serve different purposes or do not provide the specific benefit of simplified coverage increases.
