nonforfeiture option

Read a random definition: confessio in judicio

A quick definition of nonforfeiture option:

A nonforfeiture option is a choice that a person with an insurance policy has when they can no longer make payments. They can choose to keep the policy for a shorter time, get some money back, or do something else instead of losing the policy altogether. It's like having different options to choose from when you can't do what you originally planned.

A more thorough explanation:

A nonforfeiture option is a policyholder's right to choose an alternative action when they are unable to pay their insurance premiums. This option allows the policyholder to continue the insurance policy for a shorter period than the original term, surrender the policy for its cash value, continue the policy for a reduced amount, or take some other action rather than forfeit the policy.

For example, if a person has a life insurance policy and is unable to pay the premiums, they may choose to surrender the policy for its cash value instead of letting it lapse. This way, they can still receive some benefit from the policy.

Another example is if a person has a long-term care insurance policy and is unable to pay the premiums, they may choose to continue the policy for a reduced amount of coverage instead of letting it lapse completely.

The nonforfeiture option is important because it provides flexibility for policyholders who may be experiencing financial difficulties. It allows them to make choices that can help them maintain some level of coverage or receive some benefit from their policy, even if they are unable to continue paying the premiums.
