ERROR IN AGE OR GENDER. When a benefit of this Contract is contingent upon any person's age or gender, we may require proof of such. We may suspend payments until proof is provided. When we receive satisfactory proof, we will make the payments that were due during the period of suspension. Where the use of unisex mortality rates is required, we will not determine or adjust benefits based upon gender. If after proof of age and gender (where applicable) is provided, it is determined that the information you furnished was not correct, we will adjust any benefit under this Contract to that which would be payable based upon the correct information. If we have underpaid a benefit because of the error, we will make up the underpayment in a lump sum. If the error resulted in an overpayment, we will deduct the amount of the overpayment from any current or future payment due under the Contract. Underpayments and overpayments will bear interest at an annual effective interest rate of 3%.
