If you renew your Farm Bureau membership before Dec. 31, the potential amount you will receive in the event of an accidental death and or specific loss will increase. According to Dan Rapp, OFBF director of member services, members are eligible for a potential maximum payout of $10,000 should an accidental death occur.

Benefit levels are determined based on renewing your membership before Dec. 31 and if you were wearing a seat belt at the time of the accident. Your accidental death policy was delivered to you in your renewal notice. It spells out the benefit provisions of the policy.
