Automatic Benefit Increase Rider
WAEPA offers an Automatic Benefit Increase Rider (ABI) as an optional rider to a Group Term Life Insurance policy. When added, this rider helps to keep your coverage aligned with your growing life insurance needs.
Benefits of ABI
Automatic Coverage Growth
This rider, when added to a Group Term Life Insurance policy, increases your Group Term Life Insurance coverage amount by $25,000 annually, for up to 10 years, with no additional medical underwriting required.
Coverage that Keeps Up
Your life insurance needs may look different than 5, 10, or even 20 years. With a family, a house, and medical issues possibly on the horizon, this coverage helps adapt to your evolving needs.
How the ABI Works
Select the Automatic Benefit Increase Rider option when completing your application for Group Term Life Insurance coverage.
The Automatic Benefit Increase Rider will increase your Group Term Life Insurance coverage amount by $25,000 every year for up to 10 years, up to a maximum of $250,000 in additional protection.
You can elect to stop automatic increases in any year. To restart annual increases, eligible insureds can reapply for additional increases in coverage with a new application on a medically underwritten basis.
