4. A $1,500 death benefit to the family when a child dies less than 61 days after birth.
5. A $750 death benefit to the family when a child is stillborn at least 20 weeks after conception. The Order affirms that life begins at conception. In this instance, the benefit requires a certified death certificate for the stillborn child, hence the 20-week rule.
To be eligible for these two benefits, the member must be in good standing with his Council, and at least one parent must be insured under an individual Knights of Columbus certificate.
