Deep Dive into Accelerated Death Benefits

01

Why are accelerated death benefits used?

Accelerated death benefits are designed to provide relief to a policyholder in times of great stress or need. They are designed to provide financial support to what would otherwise be extraordinary monetary burdens.

02

What plans offer these benefits?

Accelerated Death benefits are only allowed on larger life insurance policies, usually those with a face amount of more than US$ 100,000.

03

What is the impact for beneficiaries?

The accelerated death benefit is designed to provide pre-death payments to the policyholder. This can have a significant impact on any named beneficiaries, who will receive lower settlements from the policy due to the payments made under the benefit. As such, many life insurance plans require the beneficiaries or assignees of a policy providing an accelerated death benefit to sign a release acknowledging they will receive a lower death benefit.
