  • Waiver of Premiums for Total Disability (Continued Protection)
  • Offering continued coverage when you need it most

    If you become Totally Disabled, you may qualify to continue certain insurance. You may also be eligible for waiver of your basic and Supplemental term life and Supplemental AD&D insurance premium until you reach age 70, die, or recover from your disability, whichever is sooner.

    Total Disability or TotallyDisabled means you are unable to do your job and any other job for which you are fit by education, training or experience due to injury or sickness. The Total Disability must begin before age 60, and your waiver will begin after you have satisfied a 6-month waiting period of continuous disability. The waiver of premium will end when you turn age 70, die, or recover. Please note that this benefit is only available after you have participated in the Supplemental term life plan for 12 months and it is not available on dependent coverage. This 12 month requirement applies to new participants in the plan.

  • Accelerate Benefits Option4
  • For access to funds during a difficult time

    If you become terminally ill and are diagnosed with 24 months or less to live, you have the option to receive up to 75% of your life insurance proceeds. This can go a long way towards helping your family meet medical and other expenses at a difficult time. Amounts not accelerated will continue under your employer’s plan for as long as you remain eligible per the certificate requirements and the group policy remains in effect.

    The accelerated life insurance benefits offered under your certificate are intended to qualify for favorable tax treatment under Section 101(g) of the Internal Revenue Code (26 U.S.C.Sec 101(g)).10

    Accelerated Benefits Option is not the same as long term care insurance (LTC). LTC provides nursing home care, home-health care, personal or adult day care for individuals above age 65 or with chronic or disabling conditions that require constant supervision.

    The Accelerated Benefits Option is also available to spouses/domestic partners insured under Dependent Life insurance plans. This option is not available for dependent child coverage.
