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).

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
You may select benefit amounts from $10,000 - $250,000 in $10,000 increments under age 60 and benefit amount of up to $50,000 if you are 60-64.
