Integrated Term Insurance Rider (ITR)

This rider provides for additional coverage on each insured within a given case. The term insurance benefit provided by the ITR is the difference between the total death benefit and the base policy death benefit. There is a separate per $1,000 of ITR Face Amount administrative charge, and separate cost of insurance charges for coverage under the ITR.

• The minimum ITR Face Amount at issue is $50,000 per insured.
• The ITR is available at up to 90% of the Target Amount (base policy face amount plus ITR face amount) for any individual life policy with a Target Premium of $50,000 or a case with a Group Target Premium of at least $50,000.
• The Target Premium is the Commissionable Target Premium (CTP) resulting from blending ITR and base policy coverage. The Target Premium after blending in term coverage must remain at least $50,000. The target premium for each policy depends upon the Base Policy Face Amount and the age, sex, and class of risk of the insured.  The ITR face amount does not contribute towards the target premium.
