Under the current Statutory Accident Benefits Schedule (“SABS”), non-earner benefits are paid after a six month waiting period following the accident and up to two years post-accident at a rate of $185.00 per week. To qualify, the insured must suffer a complete inability to carry on a normal life. There is no change in the test post 104 weeks (unlike the entitlement test for income replacement benefits). However, if the individual continues to meet the disability test after two years post-accident and was enrolled in school at the time of the loss, then the non-earner benefit increases to $320.00 per week.
