The Cost-of-Living Adjustment (COLA) rider allows the insured to increase the policy's face value based on increases in the Consumer Price Index (CPI). In this case, a 3% CPI increase on a $200,000 policy allows a proportional increase in the face amount.

Calculation: $200,000 × 0.03 = $6,000

Therefore, the new face amount can be increased by $6,000.

In Ohio, insurance licensees are required to complete 24 hours of continuing education (CE) every two years. This includes a mandatory 3 hours of ethics training. The CE requirements must be fulfilled by the last day of the licensee's birth month in the renewal year. This ensures that insurance professionals remain knowledgeable about current laws, regulations, and best practices.

AFamily Term Insurance Riderextends coverage to the insured's family members, including the spouse and children, under a single policy. If the spouse covered under this rider passes away during the term, the policy pays a death benefit. This rider is an economical way to provide life insurance protection to family members without purchasing separate policies.

Nonforfeiture provisions in whole life insurance policies provide options to the policyholder if they stop paying premiums. One such option is extended term insurance, where the policy's cash value is used to purchase term insurance with the same face amount as the original policy for as long a period as the cash value allows.

According to the Ohio Life Insurance Study Guide:

"Under the nonforfeiture provision, a policyholder may choose extended term insurance, which uses the policy's cash value to provide term coverage equal to the original face amount for a limited time."
