Question 2
An annuity where the policyowner chooses a pre-determined number of benefit payments is referred to as:
Options:
A.
Period certain
B.
Amount certain
C.
Straight life
D.
Refund life
Answer:
A
Explanation:
A "Period Certain" annuity, also known as a "term certain" or "fixed period" annuity, guarantees payments for a specified period, such as 10, 15, or 20 years, regardless of whether the annuitant lives or dies during that period. If the annuitant dies before the end of the period, the remaining payments are made to a designated beneficiary. This option provides a predictable income stream for a set duration.
Question 3
Which of the following statements is TRUE regarding a waiver of premium rider?
Options:
A.
There will be no change in the policy other than the insured no longer has to pay the premiums on the policy.
B.
The policy's cash value will continue to grow, but at a slower rate because the insured is no longer paying premiums.
C.
The death benefit will be reduced by the amount of the unpaid premiums.
D.
The insured will automatically become eligible for accelerated death benefits.
Answer:
A
Explanation:
A waiver of premium rider allows the policy to remain in force without premium payments if the insured becomes totally disabled and meets the terms of the rider. Once activated, the insurance company waives the premium payments, and the policy continues as if payments were being made. The cash value and death benefit remain unaffected, ensuring full policy performance.
