Accidental Death & Dismemberment

Valuable Coverage in the Event of an Accident



 

 


The ASCP Group Accidental Death and Dismemberment Insurance Plan is ideal for members who want protection against both accident-related injuries and death in one affordable plan. The Family Plan allows you to cover your spouse and dependent children as well, so that you can care for them and help compensate for the loss of income if they are involved in a covered accident.

Eligibility

As a member or registrant of ASCP under age 70 and a U.S. Resident residing in the U.S., you may apply for coverage. Your legal spouse and unmarried dependent children ages 15 days to 19 years (25 if a full-time student) are also eligible for coverage.

Choice of Plans

You may choose the plan that best fits your needs:

  • Personal Plan
    You may select an insurance amount (Principal Sum) from $25,000 to $300,000 in units of $25,000 of personal or family coverage.
  • Family Plan
    You may select an insurance amount (Principal Sum) from $25,000 to $300,000 for yourself. Your spouse is automatically insured for 40% of your insurance amount and each eligible child for 5%. If you have no children, your spouse is covered for 50% of your insurance amount. Or if you are a single parent, each child is insured for 10% of your insurance amount.

In addition, the following benefits are also available with this plan.

Air Bag Benefit—an additional benefit is payable if the insured individual was positioned in a seat protected by a properly functioning original, factory installed airbag system that inflates on impact when the accident occurred.

Day Care Benefit—an additional benefit is payable for an insured individual’s surviving child(ren) if at the time of such accidental death, his or her child is under age 13 and enrolled in a day care program. The benefit is paid each year for each child who qualifies for the Day Care Benefit except that no more than four Day Care Benefits will be paid for each such child.

Education Benefit—an additional benefit is payable if at the time of the insured individual’s accidental death, his or her insured dependent(s) is a student attending an institution of higher learning, or if within 12 months of attending such institution, provides proof of enrollment in such institution. The benefit is payable each year for up to four consecutive years as long as the dependent remains a full-time student.

Repatriation Benefit—if an insured individual dies outside the territorial limits of the state or country of his or permanent residence, a Repatriation Benefit is payable for (a) preparation of the body for burial or cremation; and (b) transportation of the body to the place of burial or cremation.

Seat Belt Benefit—an additional benefit is payable if an insured individual dies as a result of injuries sustained in an automobile accident while traveling and properly wearing a seat belt, provided death occurs within 90 days of the accident.

Complete details, including the amount of benefit to be paid can be found in the Certificate.
