Standard Policy Limitations and Exclusions (Form No. I H2016)

Note: Limitations and Exclusions may vary by state. The state specific policy form is the ultimate authority for any questions about this product.

Pre-existing Condition - If disability is within two years from the issue date and is due to a pre-existing condition, no benefits will be paid unless the condition was disclosed and not misrepresented on the application and is not excluded by a policy amendment rider.

Elimination Period – This policy includes an elimination period which is the amount of time the insured must be continuously, totally disabled before eligible to receive weekly benefits.

Mental/Nervous Disorders - A maximum of 104 disability weekly benefits will be paid during the insured's lifetime for disabilities due to mental/nervous disorders.

Substance Abuse - A maximum of 104 disability weekly benefits will be paid during the insured's lifetime for disabilities due to substance abuse.

Guaranteed Renewable. This policy form is guaranteed renewable, meaning the policyowner may continue the coverage provided through the end of the renewal period by payment of the required premiums when they are due. Terms of the policy cannot be changed while it is in force. Premiums for the policy may change, but any changes require prior regulatory approval and can be done on an insured class basis only.

Misstatement of Age and/or Gender - If age and/or gender is misstated, an adjustment in premiums, coverage, or both, will be made based on the correct age and/or gender. If, according to the correct age, the coverage provided by this policy would not have become effective, or would have ceased, the only liability during the period in which the insured was not eligible for coverage, shall be limited to the refund of premiums paid for such period.

Misstatement of Income - If annual income was overstated at the time of policy application, an adjustment in both coverage and premiums may be made. If, according to the correct income, the coverage provided by the policy would not have become effective, liability shall be limited to the refund of premiums paid.

Misstatement of Tobacco Use - If, during the first two years of this policy, the tobacco status has been misstated, an adjustment in policy and rider benefit amounts will be made based on the amount the premium paid would have purchased using the correct tobacco status on the Issue Date.
