Brother Masons:

The death benefit to your wife or designated beneficiary is $1 per Low Twelve member

plus $10 per year for each year you are a member

plus the return of any unused prepaid assessments. 

When possible, this benefit is hand-delivered to your beneficiary in order to ease the burden of the expenses incurred upon your death.

How is this possible?

An assessment in the amount of $1.50 is levied against each member upon the death of a member. The assessment shall be distributed as follows:  $1 to the beneficiary of the deceased member and $.50 to be used for operation expenses of the club. In addition to the $1.00 per member, the Beneficiary receives a $10 bonus for each year the deceased was a member of the club. 

Example of benefits computation for a 25-year member

    Active members at death     371   $  1.00  = $ 371

          Years of Service Bonus      25    $10.00 = $ 250

     Unused Assessments                                              $   22 

             PAID TO BENEFICIARY                           = $ 643
