Best Answer

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.

What is a DOT RIDER in life insurance?

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.
