No Work Provision

A “no work” provision states that you cannot collect benefits if you are working in any capacity—regardless of whether your job is related to the occupation you were performing when you became disabled.  In most instances, the “no work” language will be included as part of the definition of “Total Disability” under your policy.

Non-Cancelable Rider

If your policy contains a non-cancelable rider, your insurer cannot change the terms of your policy or the required premium amounts as long as you submit timely payment of all premiums.
