Sponsored Disability Insurance Program Attention University of Utah Alumni Association Protect all that you've worked for with up to $10,000 per month in Disability Insurance Your Choice of 2 Plans Your Choice of Waiting Period Spouse Coverage Available Benefits paid for Rehabilitation, Paraplegia, Partial Disability, Mental & Nervous Disorders and much more 30-Day Money Back Guarantee See inside for details...,1)$"&2 #$ 0001187-0000005-0000111

Safeguard your family's financial future now Protect your income with the UUAA sponsored Disability Income Insurance Plan. This coverage will provide you and your family with up to $10,000 per month in important insurance protection. That means bill-paying benefits will be there for you to use toward daily living expenses, mortgage payments, college tuition, car payments and medical bills should you become unable to work due to a disabling injury or accident. All alumni under age 60, actively working (at least 30 hours per week) and not in full-time military service may apply for up to $10,000 per month in benefits. Spouses or domestic partners of alumni who meet these same requirements may also apply for up to $2,000 per month under Plan II. Your Choice of Two Plans Plan I (for Alumni only)...if you are Totally Disabled by a covered accident or illness, you will receive benefits beginning on the day after your waiting period and continuing until you reach age 65 (24 months if disabled after age 65). Plan II (for Alumni and spouses)...if you are Totally Disabled by a covered accident or illness, you will receive benefits beginning on the day after your chosen waiting period and continuing for up to two full years. Your spouse can receive benefits up to a maximum of $2,000 per month. The benefit amount you apply for under Plan I, in combination with all other disability insurance in force or applied for (including Worker's Compensation, Social Security, employer-sponsored salary continuation, group or franchise plans or retirement programs), must not exceed 70% (50% if the monthly benefit amount applied for is $5,000 or more) of personal monthly earned income. The benefit amount you apply for under Plan II, in combination with all other disability insurance in force or applied for, must not exceed 75% of monthly earned income. Your Choice of Waiting Period You can opt for benefits to begin after 30, 60, 90 or 180 days of disability. Choose a waiting period that best suits your needs by comparing your current savings versus your expenses. If your savings can only meet one or two weeks' worth of expenses during a disabling illness, then select the 30-day waiting period. However, if you feel that you can meet your expenses for a longer period of time, then choose a 60-, 90- or 180-day waiting period. Managed Disability Approach The Hartford's innovative approach to Managed Disability emphasizes empowering people with disabilities so they're able to reach their full potential, and encourages a healthy lifestyle through prevention and wellness programs. When an individual becomes disabled, they are helped with rehabilitation and motivation to return to work as soon as reasonably possible. Residual Disability Benefits (Plan I Only) This benefit provides that a portion of your regular monthly benefit will continue to be paid as long as you are gainfully employed and your income is less than 75% of your pre-disability earnings, you are under age 64 and your benefit period has not expired. This assists you with supplemental income if you are still under a doctor's care, unable to perform all of your duties and forced into a different lower-paying job as the result of your disability. Rehabilitation Benefits (Plan I Only)If you participate in an approved vocational rehabilitation program within 31 days of receiving benefits, you will receive monthly benefits for up to 60 months while totally disabled. You will receive your regular monthly benefit less 50% of the gross income earned as a participant in the rehabilitation program. Your vocational rehabilitation program will include staff nurses and specially trained counselors. Each individual rehabilitation program is custom tailored to each claimant's needs and aspirations. Our counselors use skills assessment, job and transferable skills analysis, job modification, vocational testing, job placement assistance and retraining. Paraplegia Benefit This special benefit equals 10 times your chosen monthly disability benefit. It will be paid if you are under age 60 and have received Total Disability benefits for 12 consecutive months because either both of your upper or both of your lower limbs are completely and irreversibly paralyzed. Partial Disability Benefit You can receive 50% of your chosen monthly benefit if, because of an illness or injury, you are unable to perform one or more of the important duties of your regular occupation, you are not receiving Total Disability or residual disability benefits, and you are under the regular care of a physician. Partial disability benefits will be paid up to your maximum benefit period under Plan I after a seven-day elimination period. If the partial disability lasts for part of a month, you will receive a portion (1/60th) of your chosen monthly benefit for each day of partial disability. There is a seven-day elimination period for this benefit and it is payable for up to 180 days under Plan II. Benefits for Mental & Nervous Disorders, Alcoholism & Drug Addictions Benefits will be paid for Total Disabilities due to mental or nervous disorders, alcoholism, drug addiction or the use of a mind-altering drug. For illnesses which require psychiatric care at least twice a month, benefits will begin after the chosen waiting period and will continue for up to 24 months or to age 70, whichever occurs first. Thereafter, benefits will continue only under Plan I, and only if you are an inpatient in a hospital or institution and under a doctor's care. Survivor Benefit If the insured is Totally Disabled for more than 180 days, is receiving benefits immediately prior to their death and provided the maximum payment period has not been met, a special payment equal to three times their selected monthly benefit will be paid to their spouse, if living. If not, it will be paid in equal shares to their living children or, if there are none, to their estate. *National Safety Council, Accident Facts, 2001 edition. *059303000* 0001188-0000006-0000111
