Child Educational Benefit for Your Family’s Future
Q: How does the Child Educational Benefit help a child if someone in their family dies in an accident?
A: The plan covers $5,000 per year for the child's tuition after their family member's death, ensuring she can continue their education.
When Tom’s brother, Mark, passes away unexpectedly in a tragic accident, it hits the entire family hard. Mark had been a devoted uncle to Emily, and his sudden death is especially difficult for her. Now in her second year of college, Emily worries about how her education might be affected by the family’s financial situation.
Thankfully, because Mark had Active Plan coverage at the time of the accident, his accident insurance included a Child Educational Benefit, which provides up to $5,000 per year for post-secondary tuition. The benefit is available for up to four consecutive years, allowing Emily to stay in school and finish her degree—just as Mark would have wanted.
For Tom, it’s a deep comfort to know that despite the heartbreak, Emily’s future is still supported. The benefit ensures that Mark’s commitment to family continues to make an impact—even in his absence.
