Answer & full 3-part explanation (select an option above, or peek)
Why B is correct
Under the Florida Insurance Code, fraternal benefit societies exist for the benefit of their members and their beneficiaries, operating on the lodge system without capital stock and without profit motive. They provide insurance benefits within that fraternal framework and are part of the insurance system overseen by Florida's insurance regulators, not by banking authorities.
Why the other options are wrong
- A) Fraternals specifically lack capital stock and shareholders; profit is not their organizing purpose.
- C) The entire fraternal framework is member-based: benefits go to members and their beneficiaries, not nonmembers.
- D) Supervision of fraternals belongs within Florida's insurance regulatory structure, not the banking regulator OFR.
Memory hook
Fraternal benefits flow to members, not shareholders.
