  • Legally adopted children;
  • Mentally and physically disabled children who are totally dependent on the main member;
  • Customary marriages cover more than one spouse, but if more than one spouse dies in the same contingency, the coverage amount will be equally divided among the number of spouses;
  • Unborn babies (at least 26 weeks);

Persons excluded from coverage:
