LLQP Accident & Sickness · Component 2.2 · 30% of the exam
A guaranteed insurability rider on a long-term care contract allows the owner to:
- AAdd a spouse to the contract at the original issue age, provided the spouse is in good health
- BCancel the contract at any option date and recover the premiums paid to that point
- CShorten the elimination period at each anniversary as the owner's savings are drawn down
- Increase the daily benefit at stated option dates without new medical evidence, at the attained-age cost
Correct answer: D) Increase the daily benefit at stated option dates without new medical evidence, at the attained-age cost
Long-term care underwriting tightens sharply with age and cognitive screening, so an option that locks in the right to buy more coverage later is worth far more than it appears at purchase.
Why the other options are wrong
- AEach spouse is underwritten and insured under a contract of their own.
- BPremium recovery is the function of a non-forfeiture or return of premium option.
- CThe elimination period is fixed by the contract and does not shrink over time.
Exam tip
The rider buys the right to add coverage while still insurable.
Common mistake
Declining an insurability option on a contract bought decades before the claim.
