When people think about life insurance, they often focus on the death benefit—the money paid to beneficiaries after the policyholder passes away. But what if you could access some of that money while you are still alive? That’s where living benefits come in. These features can provide financial support during difficult times, helping you manage unexpected health or financial challenges without waiting for the end of your life insurance policy.

What Are Living Benefits?

Living benefits are features included in some life insurance policies that allow policyholders to receive a portion of their death benefit while they are still alive. These benefits typically activate under specific conditions, such as a critical illness diagnosis, chronic illness, or terminal illness.

Unlike traditional life insurance, which only pays out after death, living benefits provide financial support when you need it most—during serious health crises or other qualifying events.

Real-Life Example

​

Consider Sarah, a 45-year-old mother of two, who was diagnosed with a serious illness. Thanks to the critical illness rider on her life insurance, she received a lump sum payment that helped cover her medical expenses and household bills while she focused on recovery. Without living benefits, Sarah might have faced financial hardship during this difficult time.

Why Living Benefits Matter for Your Financial Future

​

Living benefits offer several advantages that make them a valuable addition to your financial plan:

​

• Financial Flexibility

They provide access to funds when facing unexpected health problems, helping you avoid debt or dipping into savings.

• Peace of Mind

Knowing you have a safety net can reduce stress during medical emergencies

Protection for Your Family

By covering expenses early, you can preserve other assets and investments for your family’s future.

• Cost-Effective

Adding living benefits to your policy often costs less than buying separate insurance products like critical illness or long-term care insurance.
