measure of the projected future earnings and services of a person at risk in the event of a

,The objective is to provide the proper amount of coverage as determined by the value of the
individual to his/her dependents using the following factors:
- The individual's age and gender
- The individual's occupation, annual wage, and planned retirement age
- Inflation
Needs Analysis Approach determines a need for coverage upon the premature death of an
individual.
It always assumes the death of the individual to be immediate and factors the following steps
into arriving at the proper amount of coverage needed:
- Calculate all financial needs caused by immediate death, including debts, medical bills, and
final expenses
- Provide lifetime income to the spouse
- Pay off mortgage or other debts
- Provide funds for children's education
- Subtracts any assets available to fund financial needs after death (such as retirement plan,
other insurance, liquid investments, separate savings)
Waiver of Premium - >>>Life Insurance Disability Rider
If the insured becomes totally disabled, the insurer will waive premiums for the duration of
the disability or the end of the policy, whichever occurs first.
To qualify for the waiver, the insured must be disabled for a waiting period of 3-6 months.
, The policyowner must continue to pay premiums during the waiting period, but once eligible,
the waiver is retroactive to the start of the disability and the premiums will be refunded.
During the disability, the insured will credit the premiums to the policy and all benefits, such
as cash value accumulation and dividend payments, will continue.
Disability Income Rider - >>>Life Insurance Disability Rider
In the event of total disability and after the initial waiting period (such as 6 months),
premiums are waived and the insured is paid a monthly income.

insured's death was a result of an accident.

accident
Separate Account (Variable) vs General Account (Life Insurance) - >>>The separate account is
invested in debt or equity securities as offered by the insurance company.
