I think you are talking about an endorcement? Or even perhaps an additional insured? It 'adds' something extra (that you pay for most of the time) to a policy.

It is commonly called a "rider" in life and health insurance, the property and casualty equivalent is normally called an "endorsement." Use the terms interchangeably...they basically mean the same thing.

A rider is a physical addition to an insurance policy, normally at extra premium cost, for the purpose of modifying the terms of coverage in the policy in some manner. There are hundreds of different riders out there, and some are pretty weird.

Did you have some specific concern or rider that you are considering buying or changing on your policy? If you would like some additional information- just ask!

Guys.. I haven't really found any real discussion generating about the riders, & waivers for quite some time. I'm sure many people out there are not too clear about the utility of such coverage. Any volunteers? Fatman

Hi all,

Riders could be regarded as those provisions in an insurance policy that adds more benefits than what has been mentioned in the original insurance policy papers. The only reason that they are being called "riders" is that they are dependent on the mother policy.

Some times the "riders" could be looked upon as term policies that are linked with the permanent policy in order to add values or offer more benefits with it.

Riders could be of 2 types-

  • A rider may attach more values with an existing policy
  • A rider may also snatch away values from an existing policy

Yes, riders that are designed to add more benefits to the original policies could come to you at the expense of an additional premium.

On the other hand the riders which reduce benefits from the original policies are described as Waivers. For a waiver the user is not charged with any additional premium. Say, a person has a fatal hobby that might inflict unavoidable damages for him & his family. A rider could be attached to his policy, such that it states clearly why & to what extend his beneficiary would not be entitled to receive his death benefits in case he dies while indulging in such hobbies.

Hi Fatman,

Its good to see that you're online too!
When you say about waiver...it reminds me of the waiver of premium rider. I guess it allows a person to enjoy the policy coverage even when he is disabled & certainly not able to pay for the premiums. But yeah, as far as I remember it has to be a total disability for him & a permanent one too. But, what I don't remember over here is whether there is any waiting period for it or not. Thanks, Roddick

Hey Roddick...yes it would be correct to say that there is a "waiting period" which stretches between 3-6 months. This one would be applicable to the original policy even before the waiver of premiums would act upon it. But, there is one thing which you can be rest assured is that whenever a "payor rider" comes with juvenile insurance policies, it would always waive off the premiums till the point of time the child reaches the "age" as mentioned in the coverage agreement.

Hi,

I was surfing through online data & got that the "waiver of premiums" has a close link with the 'disability income rider'. The disability income rider would ensure a consistent income from a disabled person's carrier under circumstances that he gets disabled totally & the disability becomes permanent. Such benefits would cover him for the entire period for which he misses his earnings.
See you soon! Roddick

Hi people...I'd love to add accidental death benefit with the ones that you've mentioned over here. Under circumstances when an insured dies in an accident a specific sum of money has to be paid to his beneficiary. This amount is to be covered under this policy. This sum of money is worth the face value of the policy. It is also known as the 'principal sum' & could reach up to 3 to 4 times of the face value. ArindamSenIndies
