Basis of Issue	A standard offer means no modifications can be made to the contract’s premium rate, elimination period, benefit period or monthly benefit amounts to adjust for a pre-existing medical condition.

	The benefit will program around any coverage already in-force or applied for. Total coverage to be in-force would not exceed this plan design or our issue and participation limits. The benefit may be offset by any in-force individual coverage that was issued on a guaranteed standard basis.
	Minimum policy size is $300.
	Any additional amounts purchased beyond this offer amount will be considered to be outside the plan design and subject to our normal medical and financial underwriting guidelines.
