In the case of the death of any of the following defined persons;
-
- Member
- Spouse
- Child
Benefit:
Up to $7,000
Limits:
At the discretion of the Board
Payment:
By cheque or direct debit
Notes:
Should be accompanied by a card from the Society and delivered in person by a Society representative (the sooner the better - the family may need funds).
The Board may also consider granting a discretionary benefit of a lesser amount, where it is evident that the deceased was a Child of the Member who was primarily dependent on the Member at the time of their death, or where the Member has incurred significant expenses as a result of a traumatic death affecting the members' immediate family.
Any such requests may only be determined by the Board.
