*Where allowed by the state.
** Identical benefit amounts must be used in conjunction with the Shared Care Benefit Rider or the Joint Waiver of Premium Rider. The only exception is when a couple also chooses the Tailored Benefit Increase Option (BIO) Rider and one individual in the couple is over age 69. In that case, the younger member of the couple may choose the Tailored BIO Rider and the older member of the couple may choose either the Step-Rated or Compound BIO Rider and continue to keep either the Shared Care Benefit Rider and/or the Joint Waiver of Premium Rider.
