Which term describes the rider that provides funds for early payout for specified conditions?

Riders add features to a life insurance policy, changing how benefits are used. An accelerated benefits rider lets the policy owner access a portion of the death benefit before death when the insured faces defined health conditions, such as terminal illness, a serious chronic illness, or the need for long-term care. The idea is to provide funds upfront to cover medical expenses, care costs, or income needs during a serious health crisis, reducing the burden while still alive. This fits the description of funds being available early for specified conditions. It’s different from guaranteed insurability, which preserves the option to buy more coverage later but doesn’t provide an early payout. It’s also distinct from a long-term care rider, which pays benefits specifically for care costs and may be structured differently than simply advancing part of the death benefit. And it isn’t about cash surrender value, which is the amount you receive if you surrender the policy, not a rider designed to provide early access to funds.
