11 What’s so Special About Specialty Your Occupation?
Same Regular Occupation definition with the addition of: We will consider the material and substantial duties performed including those of a professionally recognized specialty in medicine or dentistry immediately prior to you becoming disabled as the material/substantial duties of your regular occupation. Regular Occupation Regular Occupation means your usual occupation (or occupations if more than one) in which you are gainfully employed at the time you become disabled. If you are not gainfully employed at time of disability, for policies with both regular occ and Specialty Your Occ language, regular occupation means any occupation for which you are reasonably fitted by your education, training or experience. VS. Specialty Your Occupation Exclusive to Medical Occ Classes 6M, 5M, 5D, 5I, 4M Built into policy- similar premium to Your Occupation rider from Advantage Max Benefit Periods To Age 65, 67, or 70 Customize with Optional Riders MDSUD rider required for 5D and 4M, also includes a 10% premium reduction TYO Never available w/Specialty. If a 4M or 5D doctor wants full Mental/Nervous coverage, they can choose the standard Regular Occupation language instead of Specialty Your Occ language. TYO can be added to policies with standard Regular Occupation language for the added protection. Since Specialty Your Occ language is only available with max benefit periods of To Age 65 and greater, any policy with a shorter max benefit period will get standard Regular Occ MDSUD rider and associated premium reduction is available to other medical occ classes in mixed MultiLife case design on a case level basis if the small business has a mix of 5D/4Ms and 6M, 5M, or 5I occ classes and a policy with Specialty Your Occ language is desired. Since this is on a case level basis, either every 6M, 5M and 5I in the group receives the MDSUD limitation rider and accompanying premium reduction, or none of the 6M, 5M or 5I’s receive it. MDSUD not available for individual selection. For Producer Use Only – Not For Use With the General Public

12 What’s so Special About Specialty Your Occupation
What’s so Special About Specialty Your Occupation? Why Medical and Dental Professionals Need Specialty Your Occupation Ed, a 43 year-old neurosurgeon, must choose between a policy with or without specialty your occupation language What if Ed suffers a disabling injury and… Recovers but is no longer able to perform surgery, so he decides to start a medical consulting company. Ed’s DI policy does not include Specialty Your Occ Ed’s DI policy does include Specialty Your Occ Receives no disability benefits since he is working in another occupation Receives his full disability benefits even though he is working in another occupation, since he cannot perform the duties of his specialty For Producer Use Only – Not For Use With the General Public

35 The New Application and OMNI Essential Important Differences
The Proposed Coverage section in the new application contains MetLife Income Guard’s new options that are not available to Omni Essential If you do not see an Essential specific rider you have illustrated, place a checkmark in the ‘other’ box and list the rider on the blank line Omni Essential will still be available for sale and can easily be selected on the new application. There are a few differences from what you have seen in the past: Since our flagship product is MetLife Income Guard, the proposed coverage section in the application has been expanded to easily select all of the new options. These options are not available to Essential. Many popular riders continue to be offered for Essential. Examples include COLA, CAT, Spousal CAT and Refund of Premium to name a few. Rule of thumb: if you can illustrate it and if you cannot see it on the application, you can select the “Other” checkbox and write it in. 35
