When selecting a dividend option at policy purchase, what is the status of evidence of insurability for future enhancements?

When selecting a dividend option at the time of policy purchase, the status of evidence of insurability for future enhancements is indeed that it is not required for the same type of option. This means if policyholders decide to utilize the dividends in a way that aligns with the initial choices they made—such as continuing to apply dividends towards paid-up additions or reducing premium payments—they do not need to provide additional evidence of insurability.

It is important to understand that this provision is in place to encourage policyholders to take advantage of the benefits offered by the policy without the added burden of having to prove insurability each time they wish to make a choice that falls within the same category as their original option. Consequently, only when policyholders look to make significant changes—like converting or changing to a different type of benefit—might they need to present additional evidence of insurability, which is consistent with more substantial adjustments to the policy.
