Description: The Product Development Section has recently sponsored research on waiver of premium and waiver of charges riders. Waiver riders are commonly offered as optional benefits or included automatically on individual life insurance policies as an integrated benefit. In the event of disability, a waiver rider may waive future life insurance premium due or contribute an amount to a flexible account, such as the average premium paid over the past year or the cost of insurance charges. Despite the prevalence of these riders, the current valuation standard is still the 1952 Society of Actuaries (SOA) Disability Table.
