LEVEL TERM INSURANCE BENEFIT ON DEPENDENT CHILDREN
LEVEL TERM INSURANCE BENEFIT ON DEPENDENT CHILDREN
This benefit is a part of this contract only if it is included in the list of supplementary benefits on the contract data pages.
Benefit - We will pay an amount under this benefit if we receive due proof that a dependent child died: (1) before the term insurance provided by the benefit on his or her life ends; and (2) while this contract is in force and not in default past the last day of the grace period. But our payment is subject to all the provisions of this benefit and of the rest of this contract.
The phrase dependent child means the Insured's child, stepchild or legally adopted child who: (1) has reached the 14th day after his or her date of birth; (2) has not reached the first contract anniversary after his or her 25th birthday; and either (3) is named in the application for this contract and on the date of the application has not reached his or her 18th birthday; or (4) is acquired by the Insured after the date of the application but before the child's 18th birthday.
We show the amount of term insurance under this benefit on the contract data pages. The insurance on each dependent child's life will end on the earliest of: (1) the end of the day before the first contract anniversary after the child's 25th birthday; (2) the end of the day before the first contract anniversary after the Insured's 7 5th birthday; and (3) the end of the last day before the contract date of any other contract to which the insurance on the dependent child is converted or changed.
PAID-UP INSURANCE
Paid-up Insurance on Dependent Children - The Insured might die while this contract is in force and not in default past the last day of the grace period. In this case, any term insurance provided by this benefit on a dependent child's life will become paid-up term insurance. While this paid-up insurance is in effect, the contract will remain in force. The paid-up insurance will have cash values but no loan value.
If this benefit becomes paid-up, it may be surrendered for its net cash value. This will be the net value on the date of surrender of the paid-up insurance. But, within 30 days after a contract anniversary, the net cash value will not be less than it was on that anniversary. To compute this net cash value, we use the Commissioners 1980 Standard Ordinary Mortality Table. We use continuous functions based on age last birthday. We use an effective interest rate of 4% a year.
We will usually pay any cash value promptly. But we have the right to postpone paying it for up tc,six months. If we do so for more than 30 days, we will pay interest at the rate of 3% a year. If we are asked for the values which apply, we will furnish them.
CONVERSION OF INSURANCE ON DEPENDENT CHILDREN
Right to Convert - The insurance on each dependent child may be converted under this rider to a new contract of life insurance. The insurance on each child's life may be converted only once and once converted, all coverage under this rider on such child will end. A conversion may be made only on (a) the day the insurance ends as described in the last paragraph under Benefit above, and (b) each contract anniversary immediately following his or her 18th, 22nd, and 25th birthdays provided that such anniversary occurs before the insurance ends. It will not be necessary to, prove that the child is insurable.
Conditions - The right to obtain a new contract is subject to all these conditions: (1) The insurance on the child must be converted while this contract is in force and not ir, default past the last day of the grace period. (2) The amount of the new contract must meet the minimum as we describe under Contract Specifications. (3) We must have a written application for the new contract at our Home Office no later than the date the insurance on the child may be converted.
The new contract will not take effect unless the premium for it is paid while the child is living and within 31 days after its contract date. If the premium is paid as we state, it will be deemed that the insurance under the new contract took effect on its contract date.
AL 182 B-98
Premium Credit - When the insurance on a dependent child is converted, we will allow a premium credit on the first premium for the new contract. The credit is equal to the lesser of $1.00 for each full $1,000 of the term insurance under this benefit and $1.00 for each full $1,000 of the new contract's basic amount of insurance.
Contract Date - The date of the new contract will be the day after the date the insurance on the dependent child is converted.
Contract Specifications - The new contract will be in the standard rating class. We will set the issue age and the premiums for the new contract in accord with our regular rules in use on its contract date.
The new contract may be on any life or endowment plan we would regularly issue on its contract date for the same rating class, amount, issue age and sex. But it cannot be any of these: (1) a single premium contract; or (2) one that insures anyone in addition to the child; or (3) one that includes or provides for term insurance other than extended insurance; or (4) one with premiums that increase after a stated time, if its first premium is less than 80% of any later premium; (5) one with supplementary benefits other than the benefit to which we refer later in these paragraphs.
Its face amount will be the amount asked for in the application. But, except as we state below, that amount must be an amount we would regularly issue for the plan chosen. And it cannot be less than $10,000 or more than five times the amount of insurance on the child's life under this benefit. The face amount asked for might be less than the smallest amount we would regularly issue on the plan requested. In that case we will issue a new contract for as low as $10,000 on the Life Paid Up at Age 85 plan if we are asked to do so.
If: (1) the new contract is on the Life Paid Up at Age 85 plan or has a premium period at least as long as for that plan; and (2) we would include in other contracts like the new contract a benefit for waiving or paying premiums in the event of disability of the person insured, here is what we will do. Even though this contract does not have that benefit on the life of that child, we will put it in a new contract on his or her life. The benefit, if any, in the new contract will be the same one, with the same provisions, that we put in other contracts like it on its contract date. In this paragraph, when we use the phrases other contracts like it and other contracts like the new contract, we mean contracts we would regularly issue on the same plan and for the same rating class, amount, issue age and sex.
We will not waive or pay any premium under a new contract unless the disability started on or after its contract date. And we will not waive or pay any premium under a new contract unless it has a benefit for waiving or paying premium!; in the event of disability. This will be so even if we have waived or paid premiums under this contract.
Changes - The insurance on a dependent may be changed to a new contract of life insurance other than in accord with the requirements we state in this; form. But this kind of change may be made only if we consent, and will be subject to conditions and charges that are then determined.
MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
