METLIFE US - INDIVIDUAL DISABILITY INCOME Sample Clauses

METLIFE US - INDIVIDUAL DISABILITY INCOME. 1. Description of Business The Individual Disability Income ("DI") LOB at MetLife was created about 1921 and has operated continuously since then. The oldest policy series with business still in force is the 1949 series. DI coverage provides partial replacement of earned income to policyholders that lose or have reduced ability to earn an income from working according to the definition of total disability in the policy. Benefits are payable while the insured remains disabled following an elimination period to a specific age or for a fixed period of time which could be the lifetime of the disabled policyholder. About 80% of MetLife's DI policies are Non-Cancelable, and 20% are Guaranteed Renewable. There are a small number of policies remaining in force that are Cancelable. Policies are generally renewable to age 65. Many of the oldest policies that provided sickness coverage were renewable to ages 60 or 55. Policies have no non-forfeiture values. In addition to cash total disability benefits, several ancillary benefits are offered. These would primarily include: waiver of premium (included on all policies), overhead expenses coverage (as a base policy or an ancillary benefit), accidental death and dismemberment benefit (referred to as the principal sum benefit), optional definitions of total disability (usually as a rider), partial and residual benefits for less than full disabilities, cost of living adjustment benefits, return of premium rider and guaranteed purchase options.
