New Dependent
New Dependent adds a person to a member's cover. A member has to be selected first, since a dependent only exists in relation to the policy that covers them.
Where to find it
Go to BurialPro > New > Dependent.
What to enter
| Field | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Member | Yes | Whose cover this extends. Pick the member before anything else. |
| First Name / Last Name | Yes | The dependent. |
| Dependent Type | Yes | Child, parent, extended or additional. Required. |
| Relationship | No | How they relate to the member. |
| DOB | No | Drives the age-out rule for children. |
| Gender | No | Personal detail. |
| ID / Birth Cert | No | Their identification. |
| Benefit | No | The cover amount on their death. |
| Contribution | No | What their cover adds to the premium. |
Cover limits are enforced at this point. If the form refuses, the policy has already reached its maximum children, parents or extended dependants — which is a cover upgrade conversation rather than a data entry problem.
What happens next
The dependent appears on the member's policy. Later changes go through an amendment so they are approved rather than edited directly.
