Burial benefits cap amount?

Burial benefits cap amount?

• A. $10,000 or actual cost for reasonable burial expenses, whichever is less.
• B. $5,000.
• C. $15,000.
• D. $20,000.

Answer: (A)

Burial benefits are provided up to a fixed cap while also being tied to the actual burial expenses incurred. The rule that applies here is that the payment is limited to the lesser of $10,000 or the actual reasonable burial expenses. This means the insurer will help cover up to $10,000, but only to the extent of the real costs you incurred. If funeral costs are $8,000, you’d receive $8,000; if costs are $12,000, you’d receive the maximum of $10,000. The other amounts listed don’t match this plan, as they either understate or overstate the standard cap and don’t reflect the “lesser of” structure.
