******************************************************************
If you have any questions about your policy or would like to review any of the items that the Knights of
Columbus has to offer please contact Field Agent Patrick Keane. Pat has been an agent for many years and is
very verse on all aspects of the Fraternal Benefit program that the Knights of Columbus has to offer.
The Graded Death Benefit Whole Life Plan is a permanent life plan. Level premiums are payable during the lifetime of the insured to age 100. . This plan has simplified medical underwriting and there are limited medical questions on the application. It is available for members and their wives. GAURENTEED ISSUE Except for accidental death, during the first two years the death benefit is limited to a return of premium plus interest and unearned premium. After two years, the death benefit remains level for the life of the contract. Full face amount coverage for accidental death begins immediately at policy approval. Issue ages are 18-65. Applicants between the ages of 18-54 can select either $5,000 or $7,500 of face amount coverage. Applicants between the ages of 55-65 can only apply for $5,000 of face amount coverage. Eligible insured’s ages 18-65 are allowed to purchase one GDBWL policy only. This policy is for the Member who may be uninsurable because of a medical condition.
The Annual Renewable Term Plan (ART) is a term policy with a level death benefit. Premiums
are payable for one year at which time the insured may renew on an annual basis subject to a new premium, based on the then current age, within the guaranteed maximum premium. It does not contain cash values and dividends are anticipated in the premium. The premium gradually escalates every year about $0.50 a month for a 25K policy. A monthly premium for a 35 year old male would be 5.00 a month for 25K of coverage and this product is convertible to Whole Life without evidence of insurability.

Funding will help amputees acquire prosthetic care not covered by insurance New Haven, CT. – The Knights of Columbus Stand With Boston Program will provide assistance for people who lost limbs in April’s
Boston Marathon bombings, the K of C announced on Saturday. It is the latest in a series of Knights’ initiatives to help provide mobility
for individuals in the United States and abroad. Those who lost limbs in the Boston bombing and could benefit from additional prosthetic treatment — beyond that covered by
insurance or other programs — will be invited to apply to have the Knights cover the cost of an additional or higher-quality prosthesis
in order to help the amputees regain as much mobility as possible. The official unveiling of the initiative was made by Knights of Columbus Supreme Advocate John Marrella at the Challenged Athletes
Foundation Reception at the NIKETOWN store on Saturday, October 5, 2013. The first prosthesis delivered through this program, a leg
designed for sports, will also be presented to one of the survivors at that event. The following day, volunteers who are members of the Knights of Columbus at Harvard and other area colleges will assist at the
Challenged Athletes Foundation’s Leg Amputee Running and Mobility Clinic at Harvard University. “Medical coverage often has its limits,” said Supreme Knight Carl Anderson, “but we want to help bridge that with this charitable
program so that those who lost a limb in the bombing can recover even greater mobility.” Anderson added: “Following the example of the Good Samaritan, the Knights of Columbus has always sought to help those in need .
What happened in Boston was a terrible reminder of the reality of evil in the world, but by responding with care for those who were
hurt, we can show that the power of love is stronger than hatred or evil.” In implementing the program and reviewing applications, the Knights of Columbus will consult with a panel of experts in the field of
prosthetics and rehabilitation. The panel will include representatives from several prosthetics-related organizations: the Challenged
Athletes Foundation; Project Medishare; and Össur, a state-of-the-art prosthetics manufacturing company. The Knights of Columbus has a long history of assisting those with mobility issues. The K of C has provided more than 40,000
wheelchairs to individuals throughout the United States as well as worldwide, from Afghanistan to Vietnam. And in the wake of the
devastating 2010 earthquake in Haiti, the Knights of Columbus committed $1.5 million and launched the “Healing Haiti’s Children”
initiative together with Project Medishare. Össur and the Challenged Athletes Foundation also assisted with the program in Haiti, which
has so far helped hundreds of Haitian children with prosthetic and rehabilitation care.
