An optional benefit to add to your Assupol policy, the Family Income Benefit pays R1 000 per month for six months on the death of the main life insured.

Memorial Benefit 

Also an optional benefit to add to your Assupol instantFuneral™ policy is the Memorial Benefit. It provides for the payment of the benefit amount for either 5 or 11 months after the death of the life insured. This benefit can be added to any of the insured persons.

 Cashback benefit 

Another of the optional benefits that may be added to your policy is a Cashback benefit. If you include this, a part of the premiums that you have paid over a four-year period will be paid back to the policyholder. This benefit is not affected by claims made during the four-year period.

Premium Waiver Death Benefit 

The optional Premium Waiver Death Benefit is available on the Family Plan. This benefit ends the premiums on the death of the main life insured, but benefit amounts remain level. No further persons may be added to the policy after this happens.

 Premium Waiver Retrenchment Benefit 

Another optional benefit is the Premium Waiver Retrenchment Benefit that is available on both the Single Plan and Family Plan of the Assupol instantFuneral™ policy. This ensures that premiums don’t have to be paid for up to six months if the policyholder is retrenched.
