Living Benefits: Accessing Life Insurance Benefits While You're Still Alive


Many life insurance policies offer living benefits, also known as accelerated benefits, which allow you to access a portion of your death benefit while you're still alive. These benefits can be used to help with:


Terminal Illness: If you're diagnosed with a terminal illness, you can access a portion of your death benefit to help with medical expenses, hospice care, or other needs.

Chronic Illness: Some policies allow you to access benefits if you're unable to perform daily living activities, such as bathing, dressing, or eating.


Critical Illness: If you're diagnosed with a critical illness, like cancer, heart attack, or stroke, you can access benefits to help with medical expenses or other needs.


Long-Term Care: Some policies offer benefits to help with long-term care expenses, such as nursing home care or home health care.


Living benefits can help alleviate financial burdens and allow you to focus on your health and well-being. However, it's essential to note that:


  • Accessing living benefits will reduce your death benefit

  • Not all policies offer living benefits, so be sure to check your policy details

  • Eligibility and benefits vary by policy and insurance company


Consult with your insurance provider or a licensed insurance professional to understand the living benefits available in your policy.
