Idaho Admin. Code r. 18.03.05.016

Current through September 2, 2024
Section 18.03.05.016 - CREDIT DISABILITY INSURANCE

Premium rates in conformance with Section 014 apply to policies providing credit disability insurance to be issued with or without evidence of insurability, to be offered to all eligible debtors, and containing:

01.Pre-existing Conditions. No provision excluding or denying a claim for disability resulting from preexisting conditions except for those conditions for which the insured debtor received medical advice, diagnosis or treatment within six (6) months preceding the effective date of the debtor's coverage and which caused loss within the six (6) months following the effective date of coverage.
02.Other Exclusions or Restrictions. No other provision which excludes or restricts liability in the event of disability caused in a specific manner except that it may contain provisions excluding or restricting coverage in the event of normal pregnancy and intentionally self-inflicted injuries or disability arising out of the commission of felony acts.
03.Actively-at-Work Requirement. No actively-at-work requirement more restrictive than one (1) requiring that the debtor be actively at work at a full-time gainful occupation on the effective date of coverage. "Full time" means a regular work week of not less than thirty (30) hours. A debtor is actively at work if absent from work due solely to regular day off, holiday or paid vacation.
04.Age Restrictions. No age restrictions, or only age restrictions making ineligible for coverage debtors sixty-five (65) or over at the time the indebtedness is incurred or debtors who will have attained age sixty-six (66) or over on the maturity date of the indebtedness.
05.Daily Benefit. A daily benefit equal in amount to one thirtieth (1/30) of the monthly benefit payable under the policy for the indebtedness.
06.Definition of Disability. A definition of "disability" which provides that during the first twelve (12) months of disability the insured is unable to perform the substantial and material duties of his occupation at the time the disability occurred, and thereafter the duties of any occupation for which the insured is reasonably fitted by education, training or experience. This does not apply to lump sum disability coverage.
07.Open-End Credit Plan. Insurance written in connection with an open-end credit plan may exclude from the classes eligible for insurance classes of debtors determined by age, and provide for the cessation of insurance or reduction in the amount of insurance upon attainment of not less than age sixty-five (65).
08.Other Provisions. If the policy provisions are other than those that correspond to the use of rates provided for in Section 014, those other provisions are not to be unfair, unjust, inequitable, misleading, or deceptive; encourage misrepresentation of the coverage; or be contrary to statute or administrative rule.
09.Effective Date of Coverage. For the purposes of Subsections 016.01 and 016.03, the effective date of coverage for each part of the insurance attributable to a different advance or charge to an open-end credit plan account is the date on which the advance or charge is posted to the plan account.
