Life Insurance Protection You May Be Able to Use While Living
Financial Support When Life Takes an Unexpected Turn
Life insurance is traditionally designed to protect your loved ones after your passing. However, certain policies may allow you to access a portion of your death benefit while you are still living if you experience a qualifying serious illness.
At Beaver Insurance Services, we help individuals and families understand available life insurance options and the protection they may provide.
What Are Living Benefits?
Living benefits are features available with certain life insurance policies that may allow you to receive part of your death benefit early if you meet specific medical requirements.
These features are commonly called accelerated death benefits.
Depending on the policy, qualifying conditions may include:
- Terminal Illness: A serious illness that meets the policy’s life-expectancy requirements.
- Chronic Illness: A qualifying condition that significantly affects daily living activities or cognitive abilities.
- Other Qualifying Conditions: Certain policies may offer benefits for specified serious medical conditions.
Qualifying conditions, medical requirements, and available benefits depend on the specific insurance policy and rider.
Why Consider Living Benefits?
Living benefits may provide additional financial flexibility during a challenging time.
Depending on the policy, approved proceeds may be used for:
- Household and living expenses.
- Mortgage or rent payments.
- Medical-related expenses.
- Transportation and family needs.
- Other personal financial responsibilities.
Living benefits are not a substitute for health insurance, disability insurance, or long-term care insurance.
How Do Living Benefits Work?
- Review Your Coverage: Determine whether your life insurance policy includes eligible living benefit features.
- Meet Policy Requirements: A qualifying condition must satisfy the policy’s specific criteria.
- Submit a Claim: Provide the required medical information and documentation.
- Receive Approved Benefits: If approved, funds are paid according to the policy’s terms.
Receiving an accelerated death benefit generally reduces the remaining death benefit payable to your beneficiaries and may affect other policy values.
Benefits are not necessarily available immediately. Claims are subject to eligibility requirements, documentation, review, and insurance company approval.
