A Guaranteed Purchase Option is available for you to exercise. This option is called a Guaranteed Purchase Option (GPO). As stated in your contract, it allows an insured person to increase his or her coverage amount without providing evidence of current insurability.

The guaranteed-insurability option (aka guaranteed purchase option) guarantees that the insured will be able to purchase additional insurance at regular intervals without providing evidence of insurability up to a specified age limit, which is usually in the 40s.
Likewise, what is a future purchase option?
A future purchase option is a feature of long-term disability insurance that allows policyholders to increase their insurance coverage annually as their income increases, without medical underwriting, in exchange for paying a higher premium.
