Common use of Coverage Amount Clause in Contracts

Coverage Amount. (a) Prior to the Lock-In Date, the Coverage Amount is equal to zero. The Certificate Owner may elect at any time on or after the earliest Lock-In Date to “Lock-In” the Coverage Amount. At the Lock-In Date, the Coverage Amount is calculated by multiplying the Coverage Base by the applicable Coverage Percentage shown on the Contract Data Pages. The Lock-In Date is affected by the Certificate Owner’s election on or after the minimum age shown on the Certificate Owner Coverage Percentages table on the Contract Data Pages to “Lock-In” the Coverage Amount. (b) After the Lock-In Date but before the Insured Event, the Coverage Amount is calculated on each Certificate Anniversary. The Coverage Amount is the greater of: 1) the current Coverage Amount; or 2) the current value of the Covered Asset Pool on the Certificate Anniversary multiplied by the current Coverage Percentage as determined by the Annuitant’s attained age (or for a joint life Certificate, the age of the younger Spouse) on the Lock-In Date and the current 10-year United States Treasury Bond Yield. If the Certificate Owner’s Coverage Amount increases pursuant to 2, We will treat the increase as an automatic step-up. The Certificate Fee Percentages may be changed due to an automatic step-up of the Coverage Amount unless the Certificate Owner rejects the automatic step-up in accordance with section 3.4(b). (c) The Coverage Amount is the maximum amount a Certificate Owner can withdraw each Certificate Year from the Covered Asset Pool without causing an Excess Withdrawal. If the Certificate Owner withdraws or transfers less than the Coverage Amount in a Certificate Year from his or her Covered Asset Pool, the unused portion cannot be carried over to the next Certificate Year. (d) After the Insured Event, the Coverage Amount is the amount of the lifetime fixed annuity payments We will make to the Certificate Owner (or, for joint life coverage, the Certificate Owner’s surviving Spouse) each Certificate Year.
