Waiver

  • Waiver of Monthly Deductions for Flexible Premium Universal Life Insurance Policies
  • 14. Flexible premium universal life insurance policies do not require specified premiums as traditional policies do.
    • The “waiver” benefit entities offer is a “waiver of monthly deductions” benefit as opposed to a “waiver of premium” benefit.
    • The difference being specific premiums may or may not be required under the policy regardless of whether the insured is disabled or not.
      • Waiver of a deduction is not to be considered revenue nor a benefit paid, therefore a calculation of the amount of the deduction need not be made for flexible premium universal life insurance policies.
