Generally, insurance policies exclude suicide. Check with your insurance company, as they are all different.
That depends on the policy not the location. Most policies have a 2 year exclusion on suicide. After 2 years, suicide should also be covered. Consult your policy. mcdlife.com
Yes, especially if your spouse pays towards the insurance benefits out of his/her check.
In the U.S. and Canada, a divorce normally disqualifies the spouse from military medical benefits.
No, if she was the named beneficiary the benefits belongs to her, and she has no legal responsibility for the deceased's children.
Most of the time the answer is yes. There is a two year contestability clause on life insurance policies. If the policy is in force past this period then the insurance company is not allowed to contest the policy no matter what the situation. Even in cases where the person outright lied to the insurance company and thereby committed fraud the company will pay the benefits without regard. I have had one case in my time as an agent whereby a suicide occurred before this two year period was up. What happens in this case is that the insurance company will return all premiums paid by the insured plus interest. The spouse did not expect even this and was not asking that the policy benefits be paid. She was familiar with the clause and was happy to receive anything from this policy. She did receive payment from other policies he had because they were beyond the two year period. I hope this answered your question.
Life Insurance benefits are usually not subject to taxes. It is a benefit, not a gift or income.
Can always try. Spend the money quickly though...
Widow pension benefits are financial resources provided to widows to support them financially after the death of their spouse. These benefits can include a monthly pension payment, access to healthcare coverage, and survivor benefits from the deceased spouse's retirement or insurance plans. The eligibility criteria and amount of benefits can vary depending on the country and specific circumstances of the widow.

Typically, if a person is insured under a company's group insurance plan it is up to the company as to how much of the premium the company wants to pay toward the employee's insurance. If the employee has a spouse it is also the choice of the company as to how much, IF ANY, the company will pay toward the spouse's premium. The company is not required to pay anything toward the cost of the spouse or children. In many cases, the spouse and children. or more precisely, the employee him/herself. must pay the additional premium.
