The policy offers two options of coverage – S$50,000 (US$37,012) and S$100,000 sum assured – across a term of 10 years in the event of death, total permanent disability (TPD), terminal illness (TI) and upon diagnosis of diseases. Monthly premiums are affordable at S$23 and S$45 for the first and second option respectively.
More significantly, “Family Protect” offers a Dependant Booster Benefit that pays an additional 25% of sum assured for each surviving dependant of the insured (up to 100% of sum assured, or four dependants) in the event of death, TI or TPD. The policy also features a Retrenchment Benefit. Additionally, if there is no claim, the insured receives a return of 20% of all net premiums at the end of the 10-year policy term.
