This benefit provides, at no cost,
a $2,000 face amount life insurance benefit during
the first 90 days of the child’s life. Stillbirths and
miscarriages are not eligible for this benefit. To qualify,
both parents must have at least $5,000 of PWA insurance taken
12 or more months prior to the birth of their child and coverage
on the parents must be continued to the time of child’s
death.
Once the child
reaches 15 days and during the remaining 75 day period, the
parents may apply for $5,000 of life insurance, other than
term, without additional benefits, to become effective on
child’s 91st day of life. This will be issued regardless
of the insured’s health

This benefit is for the care of children
who become fully orphaned by the death of both of their parents.
To be eligible both of the parents must be living when the
membership certificate becomes effective and have a minimum
of $5,000 worth of PWA whole life insurance, which must be
in force at the time of their death. Each child must be a
member of PWA. The benefit begins one month after the child
becomes an orphan through child’s age 19.
This benefit pays $100 per month to
the child’s legal guardian (documents appointing legal
guardian are required) to be used for child’s care. Payments
end at the child’s 19th birthday, or if the child is
adopted, marries or becomes self-supporting.
The premium payments on such child’s
policy(s) will be waived through the child’s 19th birthday,
or if the child is adopted, marries or becomes self-supporting.
PWA requires satisfactory proof of death of both parents.
