What is Redundancy Cover?

In the increasingly competitive global marketplace, redundancy isn’t the exception - it’s the norm. Those who wish to plan for their future must protect themselves against the potential effects of involuntary unemployment, accidental death, or the unexpected illness of a close family member.

Redundancy insurance protects you and your family from defaulting on mortgage payments, credit card fees, and other financial obligations in the event that you lose your job due to redundancy. Each redundancy insurance policy is designed to help you in your individual financial situation. In the event of your accidental death, your family will receive a $25,000 benefit.

Our consultants will work with you closely to design a plan that meets your particular needs. Redundancy cover is not technically considered to be income, but rather a method of meeting vital financial obligations while you seek new employment. Searching for a new job can be difficult. Redundancy cover provides a safe haven.

What Are the Terms of Redundancy Cover?

Redundancy cover can be structured to provide monthly payments for a total of 6 months. The benefit levels will increase depending on the particular plan you select. Bronze members will receive $2,000 per month for a maximum benefit of $12,000, or 75% of their salary, whichever is less. Silver members will receive $3,000 per month or 75% of their salary, while gold members will receive $4,000 per month or 75% of their salary.

There is a 60 day moratorium period for redundancy cover beneficiaries. The monthly benefit will begin 30 days after the first date of redundancy; no payments can be made before the moratorium period has elapsed. When you begin working at a new job, the payments will cease. If you find another job that exceeds 25 hours a week, the payments will also cease.

Expatriation, Funeral Expenses, and Care Benefits

Those who must leave the country for a period of 12 months or more are qualified to receive an expatriation benefit of $2,500. Additionally, if you should accidentally die during your period of coverage, the insurer will pay for funeral expenses, including cremation and transportation costs to your state of residence, for up to $5,000.

If you must resign your current position in order to take care of an immediate family member who has been declared ill by a doctor, you will receive a benefit of $5,000.

What Is Not Covered by Redundancy Insurance?

Before signing on, it’s important to understand what isn’t covered by our plan.

If you have not had a permanent, full-time position for the last 12 months and have recently become involuntarily unemployed, we will be unable to offer you coverage. If your involuntary unemployment is the result of drug use, willful misconduct, a pre-existing illness or injury, or the end of a seasonal project or business, our policy will not apply to you.

Additionally, if you disappear and your estate receives the $25,000 benefit for accidental death, you will be required to pay the benefit back if it is later discovered that you are alive.

If you are a pilot or a member of the crew of any aircraft, whether commercial or private, we cannot extend our policy to you. Being a professional athlete, using illegal drugs, attempting suicide, or participating in criminal acts will all disqualify you from receiving our redundancy cover.

Reasons Why People Choose Redundancy Cover

Many people opt for redundancy cover in order to assure the protection of their long term assets. While no one plans on losing a job, being able to guarantee that a mortgage will be paid regardless of your current employment situation can provide a considerable source of relief.

People who have children or loved ones who depend on their care frequently opt for redundancy cover. Losing a job is always stressful, but being unable to provide for dependents is an extremely stressful situation. Being able to mitigate the impact of that situation in advance ultimately provides the greatest degree of comfort to all parties involved, regardless of the current economic climate.

Disrupting a child’s early life can be detrimental to their overall growth and future success, just as having to abruptly transfer an ailing relative to a different care facility can be destructive to their recovery and health. Redundancy cover insurance provides much needed assurance in a difficult time.
