Your inner circle is bigger than you think. The Critical Illness Benefit Society (CIBS) is working hard to make sure every CREB^® member is supported during their greatest time of need.

We want to ensure members know how to reach out and feel comfortable to do so, which is why we’re upping member awareness on this important topic. Here are some key details about the program:

Support when you need it

The CIBS provides a one-time, lump-sum, tax-free benefit of $12,500 to CREB^® members who are facing hardships associated with medical costs due to a life-threatening illness. The benefit claims form is accessible to all CREB^® members in good standing.

This leading-edge critical illness benefit program is the only one of its kind in North America. To date, it has supported over 260 CREB® members, providing more than $3.1 million in critical need benefits.

Commitment to confidentiality

The claims process is easy and confidential. 

All claims are handled by GroupSource, a professional third-party administrator. The identity of recipients is protected and CREB^® will never release the identity of any individuals without their expressed consent.

Help us spread the word

Members have two years from the date of diagnosis to submit a claim. That’s why member awareness about this benefit is so important! Please help spread the word to your fellow CREB^® members by sharing this brochure.
