What is the disability waiver of premium rider?
The disability waiver of premium rider helps ease the potential economic burdens should you sustain an injury or illness resulting in disability.
If you have this rider and a disability, you will not have to pay monthly premiums.
The waiver applies not only to the base life insurance policy but also to any other riders that you have taken.
The definition of “disability” however can be restrictive, so be sure to go over this with an advisor.

Disability Waiver of Premium rider can be useful for those who have a high-risk occupation or engage in risky hobbies for the reasons listed previously.
