This rider is made a part of the Contract to which it is attached and is effective on the Issue Date of the Contract. Terms used in this rider shall have the same meanings as are set forth in the Contract to which this rider is attached unless otherwise defined in this rider. In case of a conflict between the terms of this rider and the terms of the Contract, the terms of this rider will control. This rider modifies the Contract by adding the following provisions and terms:
BENEFIT
During a Covered Person’s Eligible Confinement, a Partial Withdrawal or full Surrender of the Contract Value will not be subject to a Withdrawal Charge or a Market Value Adjustment, if applicable.
This benefit will be provided if You provide Proof of Eligible Confinement in writing, and request a Partial Withdrawal or full Surrender of Contract Value within 91 days of the last day of confinement. However, in situations where it can be shown that it was not reasonably possible to provide the required proof within the required period of time, such proof must be provided within 1 year after proof is otherwise required, except in the absence of legal capacity. If the Proof of Eligible Confinement provided by You does not meet the requirements of this rider, You will be notified and provided with the opportunity to accept or reject the surrender proceeds, including any Withdrawal Charge and Market Value Adjustment, if applicable, prior to the disbursement of such proceeds.
Any ownership change will result in the termination of this rider, except if after such ownership change the original Owner continues to be the beneficial Owner.
This rider does not and is not intended to offer long term care insurance.
