Terminal Illness

Unavailable in states: MA

Provided that the diagnosis is rendered more than one year after the contract effective date, up to 100% of the account value can be withdrawn without deduction of an early withdrawal charge if the owner or joint owner is diagnosed by a physician as having a terminal illness with a life expectancy of 12 months or less. This waiver may be used only once.

Extended Care

To help ease the strain of certain unforeseen events, an extended care waiver is available for no additional charge.
