Accidents Happen …… Be Prepared Up to $250,000 of Protection at Affordable Group Rates
Protect your family against the losses that may result from an Accident. There are no health questions and your premium does not go up with age. Acceptance is automatic!
For the wise man or woman, inexpensive Accidental Death and Dismemberment (AD&D) insurance provides security and peace of mind. When income is lost because of covered accidental injury or death, AD&D provides a monetary bridge for families to get them through the troubled times. It can help compensate for a major decline in lifestyle and income as a result of a covered injury or it can provide a critical source of emergency funds to survivors in the event of an accidental death.
Accidental Death and Dismemberment insurance offers the extra coverage you and your family need to meet and overcome sudden unexpected problems. Up to $250,000 of Coverage!
You and your spouse are eligible to enroll in the UPMA sponsored AD&D plan for benefits up to $250,000 at very affordable rates! Under this plan you are covered 24-hours a day anywhere in the world, whether you are at home, at work, or on vacation. You are also covered when traveling on business or for pleasure, including when you are flying as a passenger (but not as a crew member or pilot) on any commercial aircraft licensed to carry passengers, except aircraft owned, leased or operated by or on behalf of your employer. Each of your children may also be insured for AD&D benefits. And these benefits are payable in addition to any other insurance you have.
Who is Eligible?
All active members of the UPMA and their lawful spouses who are under 70 are eligible to enroll in this plan. You may also insure your unmarried dependent children who are under age 19 (age 25 if they are full-time students at school and primarily dependent upon you for support). If your spouse is also an eligible member and you both enroll, you cannot be dependents under each other’s coverage. Children will be considered eligible dependents of both spouses.
Additional Benefits
The following benefits are designed to provide you and your family with extra protection and are payable in addition to AD&D benefits:
Seat Belt Benefit
If you suffer a loss payable under the Accidental Death and Dismemberment Benefit, the plan will pay an additional benefit of 10% of the AD&D benefit amount payable, to a maximum amount of $10,000 if injury occurred: while you were a passenger in or the licensed operator of a registered automobile and while wearing a Seat Belt, as verified in the police accident report.
This benefit does not cover loss if you are operating the automobile under the influence of any intoxicant, excitant, hallucinogen, narcotic or other drug, or similar substance as verified in the police accident report.
Education Benefit
If your spouse and/or children are covered under this plan and the AD&D benefit is payable because of your or your covered spouse’s death, the plan will pay an Education Benefit to each eligible dependent child who qualifies. To receive this benefit, an eligible dependent child must show proof that on the date of your death he or she was enrolled as: a full time post-high school student in a school for higher learning; or a student in 12th grade and, within 365 days, enroll as a full-time post-high school student in a school for higher learning.
The Education Benefit will be the lesser of 2% of your AD&D benefit amount or $2,500. This benefit is payable every year in which an eligible dependent child meets the above definition for up to 4 consecutive years, provided the dependent child submits proof of his or her student status each year. If an Education Benefit would be payable, but no person qualifies as a student, the plan will pay $1,000 to your beneficiary.
