The Waiver of Premium rider is designed to keep the life insurance policy in force without requiring premium payments if the insured becomes disabled. This rider helps protect the policyholder by ensuring their life insurance remains active during times of financial difficulty, typically due to a disability, but it does not increase the death benefit amount itself. The principle behind this rider is to maintain the coverage rather than enhancing the payout.

In contrast, options such as the Accidental Death Benefit increase the death benefit specifically if the insured dies as a result of an accident. The Guaranteed Insurability Rider allows the insured to purchase additional coverage at specified times without undergoing further medical examinations, thus increasing the overall death benefit. Lastly, a Term Rider adds a specific amount of temporary coverage to the policy, which increases the total death benefit while the rider is in effect.

Overall, the Waiver of Premium ensures the policy remains in force without premium payments, but it does not add to the monetary amount that beneficiaries would receive in the event of the policyholder’s death.
