facilities; nursing care facilities; assisted living facilities; adult foster care facilities; congregate care facilities; basic
care facilities; residential care facilities; family and group assisted living facilities; boarding care homes; domiciliary
care homes; personal care homes; and hospice care facilities.
In those countries where there is no facility that is licensed, certified or registered to provide inpatient care for
persons who are in need of assistance with Activities of Daily Living or are Severely Cognitively Impaired, a
facility must meet all of the requirements in items # 1-4 listed above. In addition, it must meet all of the following
requirements in order to qualify as a Long Term Care Facility:
1. provides the following information in writing to each resident:
a. a tenant services contract or agreement in place for each resident; and
b. admission and transfer/discharge requirements;

An International Long Term Care Facility does not mean a facility or part of a facility that is operated mainly for
the treatment and care of: mental, nervous, psychotic or psychoneurotic deficiencies or disorders; tuberculosis;
alcoholism, substance abuse, or drug addiction; or rehabilitation or occupational therapy. An International Long
Term Care Facility is not a rehabilitation hospital/facility.
An International Long Term Care Facility does not include a hospital, except for a separate and distinct wing or
section of a hospital, if such wing or section, including the Insured’s assigned bed, is appropriately licensed, certified,
or registered to provide the level of care defined above. Also, an International Long Term Care Facility does not
include: an independent living apartment or unit; hotel; motel; retirement home; or any dwelling similar to these.
LTC RIDER CHARGES
The monthly Rider charge will be determined by multiplying the base Policy’s Net Amount at Risk (NAR) by the
LTC Rider charge (per $1,000 of base Policy NAR). The LTC Rider charge is taken until the policy anniversary at the
insured’s age 121. The LTC Rider monthly deduction rates will vary by the insured’s issue age, duration, gender, risk
class, and Face Amount band.
WAIVER OF LTC RIDER CHARGES
Rider charges will be waived while Rider benefits are being paid. When
the insured is no longer on benefit, Rider charges will be assessed beginning with the first monthly date following
the cessation of Rider benefits. When the sum of LTC Rider benefits paid out equals the LTC Rider Specified Amount
or the LTC Rider Maximum Amount, we will no longer assess any LTC Rider Monthly Deductions under the policy.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
DEATH BENEFIT
The total amount of LTC Rider benefits paid reduces the death benefit payable on the death of the insured. If
the insured dies while receiving benefits under the LTC Rider, or the insured dies after we have paid the Rider
Maximum Amount, the Residual Death Benefit will be available if it is higher than the policy’s death benefit (less any
outstanding loans), reduced by the total amount of the LTC Rider benefits paid.
