Family Income Benefit
Protecting your family against the death of a breadwinner
Family Income Benefit is often known as FIB. It is a form of Term Insurance cover, in that it pays an amount on the death of the insured person. However, it is designed to pay an income, rather than a lump sum.
This type of policy never acquires a surrender or cash-in value, and is not a savings policy. It is there to protect the family from the financial effects of a tragic early death of a breadwinner.
Should you fail to disclose or misrepresent a fact, then you risk the insurer only paying part of a claim, declining to pay all the claim and possibly, declaring the policy invalid.
