Momentum Services
While Momentum doesn’t offer funeral cover to individuals as a separate product, they offer death benefits via their group insurance products.
This is a product available to corporates and businesses to provide their employees with an excellent financial plan that will cushion them if tragedy were ever to strike. The lump-sum payout can be used by the deceased’s family for everything from funeral costs to education.
Momentum death benefit features
There must be a minimum of 15 employees added to a scheme and the monthly premium is paid in arrears. In addition to paying out a lump sum if your employee or a family member of theirs passes, Momentum’s death benefit carries a large range of optional benefits.
Optional benefits and options
- Tax replacement cover: the lump sum payment will be Taxed so taking out Tax replacement cover will make sure this is paid for separately.
- Conversion option: If Momentum Myriad offers employees who were part of a group insurance death benefit scheme the chance to take out a similar life insurance plan once their group insurance ceases.
- Terminal illness benefit: If an employee is diagnosed with a terminal illness they get early access to their death benefit lump sum payout.
- A special benefit for children: This option covers educational and other costs for the child/children of a member that has passed on.
Tailor the benefits to your needs
The payout can be set based on a percentage, a formula, a multiple of an employee’s salary, or even defined on a contribution basis. The optional add-ons can be specified on an individual basis or on a group basis depending on the employer’s goals and needs.

Contact Momentum today to arrange your group insurance scheme.
When dealing with such a large insurance policy, it’s always best for the employer to contact Momentum directly and deal with a consultant who will be able to help them decide on which options and benefits are best, and how much cover is ideal for members.
In fact, there are many specifics that will need to be decided and it’s best to have a knowledgeable expert guide you through it. In addition, it’s the employer’s responsibility to notify Momentum if any details of any of the group scheme members change or if old members should be removed and new ones covered.
Who can get covered
Group death benefit policies and all add-ons are available to the employees of a corporation, organization, or business as long as there are 15 or more employees added. The employees must be employed on a full-time basis (working a minimum of 20 hours per week), and either below the age of 65 or under the employer’s retirement age (whichever is lower). The maximum cover age is 70 years old.
It’s also important to remind all members that in order for their cover to remain active Momentum will require that they must be at work and attending to their normal duties. If a member is not actively working, their policy can be delayed until they return to work or their employer must request that their cover remains active and this must be approved by Momentum.
When will the cover stop
If the employee is over the age limit discussed above, leaves his employer, becomes a part-time employee, passes on, or the policy is either not paid by the employer or is terminated, the cover will stop. The cover will also cease if the employee is absent from the country for a period exceeding 12 months and, naturally after a claim has been made.
