Orphan Benefit

OVERVIEW

We hope it will never happen, but if your child is orphaned, he or she will need financial support.

​​​

General Guidlines

LCBA’s Orphan Benefit includes a monthly income program to help take care of your child as he or she grows:

  • A monthly income up to $250 will be paid to a qualified guardian for each eligible child for care, maintenance and education.*
  • The total maximum income for one family is $50,000 (this includes orphan scholarships outlined below). If the maximum would be exceeded before the youngest attains age 19, the monthly benefit may be adjusted accordingly by the Association.
  • One allowance is paid for each child, regardless of the number of certificates on the lives of the parents or child.
  • Income continues until age 18 and may be extended to age 21 if the child is permanently disabled, physically or mentally.

* The monthly income program pays the premiums on an existing LCBA certificate until your orphaned child either: Reaches age 19; Marries; Enters military service; Is legally adopted; or Receives Orphan’s Scholarship.

Orphan Scholarship

Education is important for our children in today’s world. With the help of LCBA’s Orphan Scholarship your child will receive a maximum benefit of $1,800 per year for each child towards post-secondary education. ($7,200 for a four-year program or $3,600 for a two-year program).

He or she must be accepted at or attending a four-year or two-year accredited college, university, technical or vocational program, which must lead to a bachelor or associate degree.

  • Child does not maintain scholastic achievement and personal standards set by the educational institution.
  • Child receives a full scholarship or Military Academy scholarship.

  • $10,000 or more of LCBA permanent life insurance or
  • an LCBA annuity with an account value of at least $5,000 or

Life Insurance with a Conscience since 1890®.

That simple belief is what differentiates Loyal Christian Benefit Association (LCBA) from competitors. Yes, we sell insurance: Funeral Pre-Arrangement Funding Products, Traditional Life Insurance Plans, and Tax Deferred Annuities. But what makes LCBA different is we operate under the "common bond" of Christianity and return earnings from the sale of financial service products to our member customers and their communities in the form of member benefits, discount programs and scholarship opportunities.
