WHAT IS 20-YEAR LEVEL TERM INSURANCE? 
Term coverage is the purest kind of life insurance, with no costly savings features. Here is term life insurance you can depend on for a full twenty years, for premiums that are designed to not go up and benefit options that will not go down*. You can renew coverage up to age 75, subject to all termination of coverage provisions.

 

Available to HSBA members/employees and spouses age 50 and under, the Group 20-Year Level Term Life Insurance Plan helps you protect your family from the financial burdens of you or your spouse’s premature death. You can continue your insurance until age 75, provided you pay premiums when due, remain a member of HSBA, and the group policy remains in force.

 

You can select a coverage amount to help meet your needs, from $200,000 up to $1,000,000 (in $25,000 increments). The Plan features “Non-Tobacco Preferred” and "Non-Tobacco” rates. Plus, send no money until you are approved. (Note:  spouse coverage may not exceed 100 percent of member/employee coverage.)

PLAN FEATURES

Pay Less If You’re a Qualified Non tobacco user
Non-tobacco users meeting the highest underwriting standards may qualify for the Plan’s lowest rates.

Continuing Insurance After the 20–Year Term Ends
Premiums are designed to remain level for the first 20 years of coverage*. At the end of the 20–year period, if you still meet the requirements of eligibility, you may apply for re-entry. A written application and proof of good health satisfactory to ReliaStar is required.

Or coverage can be automatically transferred to group annual renewable term life coverage with attained age rates, without proof of good health and subject to all terms and eligibility requirements of the group policy.

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.

Your Cost
The premium for this life insurance is based upon the member/employee and spouse’s gender, amount of insurance requested, usage of tobacco/nicotine products and attained age on the date coverage is issued. Premium contributions will vary depending upon the options chosen.

Only non-tobacco users meeting the highest underwriting standards will qualify for "Preferred" rates. (Note: tobacco users may qualify for "Tobacco"). Upon approval of your application by the insurer, you will be notified of the rate classification for each approved person.

OTHER IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Accelerated Life Benefit This important plan option gives you the ability to collect part of your HSBA Level 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 up to 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 (or the date of retirement for employees).

Exclusions
You’re covered 365 days a year, wherever you are. The only exclusion is suicide within the first two years of the date your insurance or increase in insurance starts. The Accelerated Life Benefit is subject to additional exclusions.
