Cleaning flame sensor/not replacing. When I was learning the trade I was taught to use sand paper to clean the flame sensor or just replace it. A guy I hired told me that he uses a green kitchen scratch pad. I have to say this works, and is probably a better choice. Just thought I'd pass this tip on to fellow techs. 10-16-2008, 10:38 PM #2.
The Social Security Administration (SSA) offers survivors benefits to the widow or children of the deceased. The widow and children must meet SSA guidelines to receive the benefits, not the deceased. Spouses and children of individuals who committed suicide can collect survivors benefits, with one exception.
This is through a living benefit rider, usually called an ADB, or accelerated death benefit. The ADB can be bought at the time the policy is issued, or later on during the life of the policy. With this rider, the insured can advance his death benefits when he is diagnosed with a terminal or critical illness. When this happens, the insurance company will pay a portion of the insured's death benefits. The insured can get from 50 to 80 percent of the face amount. This is either paid on an installment basis or as a lump sum. Any one of the following should occur so that you can avail of the accelerated death benefit: 1  You cannot perform your usual functions, that you do on a daily basis, such as going to the toilet or taking a bath by yourself. 2  You are diagnosed with a serious and terminal illness that is likely to occur within two years.
