The Chronic Illness Conversion Agreement (CICA) guarantees your client the right to add the Accelerated Death Benefit for Chronic Illness Agreement (ADB-CIA) to a policy that offers that agreement without providing evidence of insurability at the time of conversion.
Chronic Illness Conversion Agreement (CICA)
Details
- Available on term policies
- Face amounts: $100,000 – $5 million
- Issue ages: 16-60
- Must have Extended Conversion Agreement (ECA)
- CICA Conversion period is the lesser of age 65 or the end of the ECA period (may differ from base life policy)
How it works
- Your client chooses the maximum chronic illness death benefit amount that will be available upon conversion.
- When converting to a permanent policy, your client may convert any percentage of their chronic illness benefit amount (within the parameters noted below) for chronic illness benefits with the addition of the Accelerated Death Benefit for Chronic Illness Agreement on the permanent policy.
- If the Accelerated Death Benefit for Chronic Illness Agreement is added at the time of conversion, a minimum of $100,000 of the CICA amount must be converted. No more than the new permanent base face amount may be converted.
- If the term policy has the Benefit Distribution Agreement, the CICA maximum is the base face amount.

Please keep in mind that the primary reason to purchase a life insurance product is the death benefit.
Life insurance products contain charges, such as Cost of Insurance Charge, Cash Extra Charge, and Additional Agreements Charge (which we refer to as mortality charges), and Premium Charge, Monthly Policy Charge, Policy Issue Charge, Transaction Charge, and Surrender Charge (which we refer to as expense charges). This policy may contain restrictions, such as surrender periods.
Insurance policy guarantees are subject to the financial strength and claims-paying ability of the issuing insurance company.
