Why it matters
This can be valuable if your health changes during the term -- converting locks in coverage based on your original insurability rather than requiring you to newly qualify.

Term Conversion Rider
A term conversion rider (or privilege) lets you convert some or all of a term life policy into a permanent policy without new medical underwriting, generally within a set window.
Example
Someone diagnosed with a serious illness partway through their term policy might use a conversion rider to secure permanent coverage without needing to pass new underwriting.
Common mistake
A common mistake is not checking the conversion window and deadline -- many policies only allow conversion within a specific number of years, not for the entire term.
