Family Fraternal Benefits

The Order's various life insurance plans are available through our agents for a healthy child. But what about children who are physically challenged or mentally retarded? In these cases, Knights of Columbus offers:

  • $5,000.00 life insurance for a member's uninsurable child
  • Up to $5,000.00 life insurance for a mentally retarded child

Death Benefits include:

  • A $1,500.00 death benefit to the family when a child dies less than 61 days after birth.
  • A $750.00 death benefit to the family when a child is stillborn.

To be eligible for these benefits, the member must be in good standing with his Council, and at least one parent and the children not declined for insurance must be insured under an individual Knights of Columbus certificate.

Orphan Fraternal Benefits

An Orphan Fraternal Benefit of $80.00 monthly is paid for support of each eligible orphan.

The child also may be eligible for up to $1,750.00 each year in educational grants.

For a child to be eligible for these two orphan benefits, the father must have been in good standing with his Council and at least one parent must have been insured under a Knights of Columbus certificate. The child must be less than 19 years of age and be insured by an individual Knights of Columbus certificate.
