What is a "living needs" benefit of a life ins policy & why is it limited to aid the dying and not living?
According to my life insurance company, the "Living Needs" benefit will only come into play if one has 6 or less months to live. How does this assist one who is living with a terminal illness, especially when it is difficult to determine just how long this person has to live?

You need to remember, the purpose of the life insurance is not to benefit the insured but to benefit the beneficiary. What most insurance companies will do is make an exception to what the policy is intended and allow you to collect up to 1/2 of the proceeds in the event of a terminal illness. Terminal is defined as having 6 months or less to live.

Another living benefit of a permanent policy is the cash value that has been accumulating tax deferred. A number of people will use these policy as an additional way to save funds for retirement. These can either be borrowed out of the policy, or gained when a policy is surrendered.

Each person has their own individual needs. People should consult insurance professionals to help them make the proper choices.

Many insurance companies will allow for a percentage of the death benefit to be available prior to death for terminally ill persons. This benefit is usually granted after the doctor has made a written statement that is then submitted to the insurance company.

If you are terminally ill and in need of immediate cash, the living needs benefit is a way to obtain part of the death benefit now to help you out financially. Keep in mind that this will decrease the amount your beneficiaries would have received.

There are companies that specialize in determinging your life expectancy. They can reasonably determine your life expectancy based on the condition you have. Obtaining this benefit is more involved than just submitting a note from your doctor.

You also have other options available with a life policy such as a life settlement or viatical settlement which may provide you with more immediate cash than a living needs benefit.

the medical community is getting pretty good at determining if you have less then 6 months.

The reason life insurance policies add this provision is so that when expenses are very high during a devastating illness, the insured doesn't cash in the policy for it's surrender value to pay these expenses thereby leaving their dependents with no benefit at death. If you've never had to care for someone with a terminal illness - you'd be amazed at the expenses.

mrjo is right. If you're looking for benifits while alive, buy health insurance. If you want something to guarentee that your family's house dosen't get repo'd when you die, buy life insurance.
