When the Living Benefits Rider Can End

Living benefits riders aren’t always “set it and forget it.” In this design, the rider is described as terminating at age 85 and it can also end due to death, policy termination, or the payment of an accelerated benefit.

This design lists termination at age 85

Rider can also end due to death or policy termination

Payment of an accelerated benefit can be a termination trigger

Happy Family Portrait

A living benefits rider is a feature with rules—and one of the most important rules is how it ends.

In this term-with-living-benefits design, the guide describes rider termination at age 85. It also notes that the rider can terminate due to death, policy termination, or the payment of an accelerated benefit.

That last one surprises people. In some designs, once an accelerated benefit is paid, the rider feature itself is considered “used” or no longer available going forward.

The practical takeaway is planning: you don’t want to assume the rider will be available forever, especially if you’re buying coverage later in life or choosing a long term length.

Before you buy, confirm both timelines: how long the term coverage runs and how long the rider remains available. Those can be different.
