"We're trying to help ensure that all children have the same access toeducational opportunities," Ms. Williams said. "With LifeBridge, if theinsured passes away during the policy's term, MassMutual will put aside$50,000 to pay for the educational expenses of their children. And childrenhave until age 35 to use the benefit. At first, we thought this was too goodto be true, but the fact is that LifeBridge policies are indeed free, and weencourage all eligible individuals to take advantage of this opportunity."
"It's not every day that something comes along for free," said Mr.Collins. "A LifeBridge policy costs a parent or legal guardian nothing, andit is a way for us to combine our philanthropic focus -- education -- with oneof our primary products -- life insurance."
Each LifeBridge policy has a 10-year policy term. If the insured parentor legal guardian dies during that time, the $50,000 life insurance benefitwill be paid to a trust administered by the MassMutual Trust Company, FSB onbehalf of the children. The trust pays the educational expenses of thechildren directly to the educational institution.
Various types of schools qualify for reimbursement including pre-school,private school, vocational school, community college, universities, art andmusic schools or graduate schools. Some of the expenses covered includebooks, tuition, and on-campus room and board.
