Educational Assistance under PA999 applies to which relatives of the Insured Person?

• A. Child or sibling
• B. Spouse
• C. Parent
• D. Grandchild

Answer: (A)

Educational Assistance benefits are designed to help cover education costs for relatives who depend on the insured’s income. In this policy, the benefit is specifically available to the insured’s close family members who are most likely to need support for education. The eligible relatives are a child or a sibling, which fits the idea of assisting those who are directly connected to the insured and may rely on that income for educational expenses. Spouse, parent, or grandchild aren’t included under this particular benefit, so they wouldn’t be the recipient of Educational Assistance in PA999. For example, if the insured has a child or a brother or sister who is college-age, this rider could help with tuition costs if the insured were to become deceased or disabled, but it wouldn’t extend to the spouse, the insured’s own parent, or grandchildren.
