A reinstatement clause commonly requires proof of insurability before a lapsed life insurance policy can be restored. Reinstatement protects the policyowner from permanent loss of coverage after lapse, but it also protects the insurer from anti-selection. If a policy has lapsed, the insurer is not required to restore coverage blindly when the insured’s health may have deteriorated. New Jersey’s reinstatement rule for certain life policies requires a provision allowing written application for reinstatement within three years from the first unpaid premium, unless the policy has been surrendered or its paid-up term insurance has expired. Standard reinstatement conditions include evidence of insurability satisfactory to the insurer, payment of overdue premiums with interest, and repayment or reinstatement of indebtedness where applicable. Option A is wrong because reinstatement is not defined by charging a higher premium; premiums are usually restored according to the policy basis plus arrears and interest. Option B is too specific and misstated. Option D is not a reinstatement condition. Reference topics: Reinstatement Clause, Lapse, Proof of Insurability, Premium Default.
