A graded
death benefit is a «clause» written into most (if not all) guaranteed issue life insurance policies which require the
insured to «wait» for a period
of time before their newly purchased guaranteed issue life insurance policy will begin providing coverage for «
natural» causes
of death.
In most cases, should the
insured die from
natural causes during the graded
death benefit, most if not all
of the paid premiums will be returned to the
insured beneficiaries so it will be as though the
insured didn't actually lose money by purchasing the policy and dying too soon!
It's not all bad news because with most guaranteed accepted life insurance policies, the best final expense and burial insurance companies will generally have a policy whereby: Should the
insured die from
natural causes during the graded
death benefit, most if not all
of the paid premiums will be returned to the
insured beneficiaries so it will be as though the
insured didn't actually lose money by purchasing the policy and dying too soon!
A life insurance policy covers
death of the
insured person resulting from an accident or
natural causes.
It should be noted that if an
insured does happen to pass away from
natural causes during the graded
death benefit period, many insurance companies do have a policy
of returning some if not all
of the premium paid by the
insured to his or her beneficiaries.
As you know, these policies will generally be limited to 25K in coverage and will contain Graded
Death Benefit clauses which will require the insured to live at least 2 years after the policy begins before it will cover «natural causes» of d

A graded life
death benefit means that in the first two or sometimes three years, your beneficiary will not be eligible to receive the guaranteed issue life insurance
death benefit if the
insured dies from what is considered an «
natural» cause
of death.
To put it simply, a graded
death benefit is a clause written into guaranteed issue life insurance policies which requires the
insured to wait a period
of time (usually 2 - 3 years), before their guaranteed issue life insurance policy will begin covering
NATURAL causes
of death.
Plus, most guaranteed issue life insurance policies will have some type
of «refund» policy should an
insured die
of natural causes during the graded
death benefit period.
This means if the
insured dies in the first two or three years
of the policy from
natural causes (heart attack, cancer, phenomena, etc.) the premiums paid will be returned to the beneficiary and the
death benefit will not be paid.
These clauses will basically state that an
insured must «NOT DIE» from any «
natural» or «illness based» causes
of death for a minimum
of 2 - 3 years (depending on the policy you choose to purchase), before your guaranteed issue life insurance policy will actually begin to cover an
insured for
natural causes
of death.
You see, what a graded
death benefit does is protect an insurance company from having to pay out a guaranteed acceptance life insurance policy during the first couple
of years (generally 2 - 3 years) should the
insured die from a
natural cause.
If an
insured dies from
natural causes during the waiting period, the company will reduce the
death benefit to 110 %
of premiums paid into the policy.
In most cases (be sure to check with the policy you are considering), what you'll generally find is that in the event that the
insured dies from
natural causes during the graded
death benefit exclusion period, most if not all
of the premiums paid by the
insured will be refunded to the
insured's beneficiaries plus some type
of interest payment based on how long the
insured had been making payments!
This is because accidental
death insurance provides a cash benefit if the loss
of the
insured's life is due to an accident (as versus due to an illness or
natural causes).
Even in a «worst case» scenario where the
insured dies from a
natural cause during the graded
death benefit exclusion period, because their beneficiary will still receive all
of the premium payments the
insured made plus some small amount
of interested added on!
During this period
of time, the life insurance policy will pay out in full in the event that the
insured dies from an accidental cause (such as: slip and fall, motor vehicle accident, victim
of crime, etc, etc...) but the policy will not cover the
insured in the event
of an
natural cause
of death during that first 2 year period.
