PLAN FEATURES

Accelerated Life Benefit
This important plan option gives you the ability to collect part of your HSBA Group Annual Term Life benefits before your death if your doctor diagnoses you with a terminal illness, as defined in the certificate, and a life expectancy of six months or less. You can collect 50 percent of your benefits (or $100,000, whichever is less) before you die–to use however you wish.

You must have at least $10,000 in Life Insurance coverage in force to qualify for this benefit.

 

This money can be used to help cover high prescription drug costs…medical bills…outstanding debts…to help pay for experimental treatments…the cost of modifications to your home…or for a family vacation – the choice is yours.

 

Receipt of accelerated benefit may be taxable, or may adversely affect your eligibility for Medicaid or other government benefits. You should consult your personal tax advisor to assess the impact of this benefit.

Waiver of Premium
If you become totally disabled, as defined in the certificate, for 6 months or longer before age 60, your coverage and benefits will continue at no cost to you – for as long as you’re disabled or until you reach age 75 (members/spouses) or until the date of your retirement (employees) – whichever is first.

Keep Your Cost Manageable
Rates have been provided on a monthly basis per $1,000 of coverage to make it easier for you to compare this Plan with other insurance plans on the market today. Four modes of payment are available to suit your budget: quarterly billing, semiannual billing or annual billing; and our Monthly Pre–Authorized Check Payment Plan.

Depending on your age, amount of coverage you request and your answers on the application, a medical examination, medical test(s) or other evidence of good health may be required. Any exams/tests requested by the insurer will be conducted at your convenience at no expense to you.

If applicable, an additional $2.00 billing fee will be included on your billing notice payable to the administrator. To save the fee, select Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) as a safe and secure payment option.
