First, this is an additional, paid chronic illness benefit that is available on certain permanent policies.
AAS provides a dollar-for-dollar acceleration which means the client always knows the benefit amount they are going to receive if they are diagnosed with a chronic illness.
The rider allows the client to accelerate 100% of their death benefit, up to $3 million.
Finally, the rider is available for clients rated Table D or better and is not available with a flat extra.
**Flat extra is an additional UW rating that can be applied to any rate classification. If it is assessed against a client they are not able to buy the AAS rider.

2-out-of-6 ADLs; or Severe Cognitive Impairment
Not expected to be Permanent
Indemnity Benefit
No Receipts
Spend benefits on anything
Flexible Benefit Base
Benefit = 50% up to 100% of Death Benefit
$50,000 minimum up to $3,000,000 maximum
Full waiver of monthly deductions
Let’s look at some of the benefits of the Accelerated Access Solution.
It was filed as a rider under IRC section 101(g). That means that no LTC license is necessary to sell it. Also, it means the definition for acceleration is for the client to be unable to perform 2 out of 6 activities of daily living (ADLS) or suffer from severe cognitive impairment.
The condition also does not need to be expected to be permanent in order to qualify for the death benefit acceleration.
AAS is an Indemnity benefit. That means the client does not have to provide receipts to receive the acceleration or wait to be reimbursed for their medical expenses. In fact, they can spend the benefit payout on whatever they see fit.
The rider provides a flexible benefit base. The client is able to choose all of their death benefit (up to the $3 million maximum) or as little as 50% of their death benefit ($50,000 minimum) to allocate towards the AAS benefit. Any percentage between % can be chosen, but the client must choose when the policy is issued.
Finally, AAS provides a FULL waiver of monthly deductions. With the rider, if the client becomes chronically ill and begins their death benefit acceleration we will waive the full monthly deductions inside of their policy for the entire length of time they are on claim.
It is a full waiver of deductions, even if the client elected a benefit base of less than 100%. 3

4. Accelerated Access Solution (AAS)
Flexible Monthly Benefit
1. IRS Per Diem capped at 2% per month
2. IRS Per Diem capped at 4% per month
3. IRS Per Diem with No Cap!
In addition to choosing how much of the policy death benefit to allocate towards the rider, the client also chooses between one of the 3 monthly benefit options to receive the benefits should they become chronically ill.
The client can choose to receive 2% or 4% of their death benefit per month. These options may also be limited by the IRS Per Diem amount. The IRS caps the amount of monthly benefit the client can receive from these types of riders. So, if they choose either of these 2 options, they will receive the lesser of 2% or 4% of their DB per month or the IRS Per Diem at the time they go on claim.
Or they may choose a unique option, IRS Per Diem with no cap! This payout option is not limited to 2 or 4% of the death benefit. Rather, the client will receive whatever the IRS Per Diem is when they go on claim.
Remember, the client must choose between these 3 payout options at policy issue. We often get asked how to know which payout option to choose. While there is generally no right or wrong answer a general rule of thumb is that for policy death benefits $500k or below, the No Cap Per Diem payout option may be more attractive. On larger face amount policies it could take the IRS Per Diem too long to surpass what the 2 or 4% of the death benefit would be.
IRS caps the maximum per diem limitation excludable from taxable income each year. The 2019 maximum is $370/day or $11,254/month. Subsequent years may be higher. 4

5. Benefits of Accelerated Access Solution
Inflation hedge against future costs
Purchase more than today’s Per Diem limit
Many products won’t allow it
Provides inflation protection with a maximum monthly benefit cap
4% Cap
4% of $300,000 = $12,000 per month
Go on-claim:
in 2018 and collect $10,950 per month
in the future when Per Diem = $15,000 per month and collect $12,000 per month
Per Diem
$300,000 AAS benefit
Maximum monthly benefit: $25,000 per month
For clarification, here are a few more examples.
With Accelerated Access Solution you can actually purchase more than today’s Per Diem limit.
Because we allow you to purchase an aggregate amount and a monthly benefit amount in excess of the current Per Diem, the outcome is very simple. At lower Per Diem amounts you get less per month, but for more months. At higher Per Diem amounts you get more per month, but for fewer months.
Let’s look at another example using a 4% cap. If you purchased a $300,000 Accelerated Access Solution benefit, your maximum monthly benefit would be $12,000. Accelerating $12,000 per month would be able to continue for 25 months ($300,000 ÷ 12 = 25)
If you went on-claim in 2018 you’ wouldn’t receive the entire $12,000 per month. The IRS Per Diem would limit you to $10,950 per month, which would last for 27 months.
And, if you went on claim when the IRS Per Diem was $15,000, American General would limit your monthly benefit to your capped amount of $12,000 per month.
Lastly, if you did not choose a 2% or 4% cap, then your maximum monthly benefit is your total benefit divided by 12. In this example, $300,000 ÷ 12 = $25,000 per month.
Naturally, if the Per Diem amount is less than $25,000 per month, you’ll receive the Per Diem in effect when you began your claim. 5
