2 An offer specifically designed for American Nurses Association members. Planning ahead can often spell the difference between success and failure. When it comes to your family s security, that means adequate life insurance protection. Now is a good time to review your life protection and help make sure it has kept pace with inflation and your changing needs. Take advantage of this valuable Plan. You may choose coverage for yourself and your family. Dependents of Members are also eligible to apply for coverage. Benefits and application procedures are provided in this brochure. Eligibility All Members of the American Nurses Association in good standing and under age 65, who reside in the U.S. and can provide acceptable evidence of insurability, are eligible to apply for coverage. All legal Spouses of Members under age 65, who reside in the U.S. and can provide acceptable evidence of insurability, are also eligible to apply. Unmarried, dependent Children of Members from 6 months to 21 years of age (23, if a full-time student), for whom they provide support, are eligible for coverage as well. When both Spouses are eligible Members, each may apply for coverage as Members ; however, coverage may not be duplicated by applying as dependents of each other. Coverage for Eligible Children may be requested by only one Member. Benefits Members and/or Spouses may apply for benefits ranging from $10,000 to $250,000** (in $10,000 increments). Also, all dependent Children, between 15 days and six months of age, may be covered for $1,000. Dependent Children, between six months and 21 years of age (23, if a full-time student in a school, college, or university), may be covered for $2,500. Acceptance into this Plan is subject to medical evidence of insurability as determined by Hartford Life and Accident Insurance Company. Depending on your age, the 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 or tests requested by the Hartford Life and Accident Insurance Company will be conducted at your convenience and at no expense to you. Living Benefit Option (Accelerated Death Benefit) Facing a Terminal Illness is a critical time for anyone both emotionally and financially. Most people have friends or family for emotional support, but where do they turn for financial assistance? Hartford Life and Accident Insurance Company s Living Benefits Option may help relieve some of the financial burdens associated with a Terminal Illness. This benefit allows you (and your Spouse, if covered) a one-time option to receive up to 50% of the term life insurance proceeds, from $3,000 to a maximum of $125,000, upon being diagnosed by a physician as having six months or less to live as long as you are under age 70. For example, if you re covered for $100,000 under the Term Life Plan and you become Terminally Ill, you may request an amount between $30,000 and $50,000. However, if you select $30,000 now, you may not request the remaining $20,000 in the future. The funds are received in a lump sum payment without restriction on how you can use them. The face amount of your Term Life policy is then reduced by the accelerated benefit amount paid out. You should consult your personal tax advisor, since the proceeds under this benefit may be taxable. 2
