The NATU membership plan provides cover for the main member, one spouse and six children under the age of 21 years or 25 years if registered as a full-time student. Maximum age at entry for main member and spouse is 69 years. Cover is applicable for the whole of life – a life ensured enjoys cover as long as premiums are paid.
Spouse – a person (a) to whom the client is married, and which marriage is accepted under the law of South Africa – including, among other, a civil, customary, or same-sex marriage; or (b) with whom the member lives in a relationship similar to a marriage and has existed for at least six months.
Children – included as immediate family must be under 21. Children who are permanently disabled and totally dependent on you or the main life insured may be included at any age. Children who are unmarried and full-time students at an educational institution approved by us may be included if they are under age 25. Cover for children stops when they turn 21. For disabled children (described above) it does not stop at any specific age. For a still-born child the death benefit will be paid only if the birth takes place after 26 weeks of pregnancy, and is not self-induced.
