Paid up additions is a method of receiving your dividends from a mutual insurance company. Paid up additions is actually a very good method as it allows a policyholder to use their dividends to purchase paid up additional insurance in the policy thereby increasing coverage and increasing annual dividends because dividends are also paid on the additional insurance. You do not have to pay taxes on the dividends paid in this manner either.

A paid-up policy is a whole life insurance policy for which no additional premium / payments are required to keep it in force.
The Dividend Option Term (DOT) rider provides term insurance that helps you get additional death benefit protection at an affordable cost. The DOT rider works in conjunction with the "paid-up additions" dividend option, which applies any dividends earned to automatically purchase more paid-up life insurance. Paid-up insurance means that, once purchased, you won't pay a premium for this additional coverage. As the amount of paid-up life insurance increases, the amount of term insurance provided by the rider decreases.

It is intended that TPL paid-up additions and policy dividend additions will eventually accumulate to a point where the term portion is no longer needed.
