Optional Benefit Riders

We offer a variety of optional Riders.

Waiver of Premium (WP)

If you are age 18-55 years of age you may purchase a Waiver of Premium rider. With this rider, First Investors Life will waive all premiums falling due after the date you become disabled and last for as long as your disability continues. Disability, for this purpose, means a total disability that continues for at least six months. Waiver of Premium only applies to disabilities that begin before the policy anniversary when you reach age 60. Waiver of Premium is available on all our ISP CHOICE, ISWL and term policies.

Accidental Death Benefit

You may elect to purchase an Accidental Death Benefit rider if your age is 0 to 60. This rider provides for an additional fixed amount of death benefit in the event the insured dies from accidental bodily injury before the age of 70. The amount of the benefit is at least equal to the face amount of the policy, but cannot exceed an amount equal to $200,000 minus the sum of all your existing or applied for accidental death benefit coverage. The Accidental Death Rider is available on all ISP CHOICE options and ISWL.

Level Term Insurance Rider

You may purchase extra term insurance protection in addition to the Death Benefit provided by your policy for either 10 or 20-year periods. The additional coverage is purchased in the form of a rider to the policy. Coverage is at least equal to $25,000 and may be for up to five times your policy's Face Amount. The rider is convertible, without evidence of insurability to a new permanent plan of insurance. The amount of insurance under the new policy may be any amount up to the face amount of the rider, subject to our minimums then in effect. The conversion may occur at any time during the premium paying period, but not later when you reach age 65. The 10-year Level Term Rider is available on all ISP CHOICE options and ISWL. The 20-year Level Term Rider is available on ISP CHOICE-20, 65 and Whole Life as well as ISWL.

Spouse's Term Life Insurance Rider

The rider is convertible without evidence of insurability at the spouse's attained age within 60 days prior to either a premium increase, the expiration of coverage under the Rider or when the Insured attains age 65.
