What is an accelerated benefit?

An accelerated benefit as applied to Life Insurance is usually a purchase of the policy for immediate cash. In exchange for the cash the purchaser becomes the beneficiary. In this way part of the death benefit comes to the individual during life. The purchaser assumes the risk of how long until death gives repayment and profit for the money advanced. Some policies have an accelerated death benefit clause. If purchased this allows the owner to redeem the face value (or whatever the agreement stipulates) upon proof that death is imminant within a spedified time as determined by medical experts. It is unlikely that the full face value of the policy will be paid as the insurance company assumes some risk that death might not occur in the projected time. There can be tax consequences for receiving benefits before they are due. Consult a CPA or Tax Attorney on this. Taxable income can reduce the expected benefit, thus making the receiver still short on funds to take care of immediate needs.
