some coverages don't automatically kick in. I've seen it take some time depending on the agency. Mainly it would be for LODD where the family loses a significant form of income. Generally the officer is still earning pay, as stated above, while injured.

Additionally if the spouse has to take off of work and lose income people may donate for that I suppose.
