IMPORTANT NOTICE TO RESIDENTS OF MANITOBA AND ONTARIO, CANADA: Manitoba and Ontario, Canada have enacted laws requiring taxation (Manitoba 7% and Ontario 8%) of all group insurance purchased by individuals.

Valuable Living Benefit Provision "Accelerated Death Benefit"

The "Accelerated Death Benefit" option is available to help terminally ill insureds during a difficult, and often financially challenging time. Under this provision you may request one advance payment equal to 50% of a qualified terminally ill person's in force life insurance to be paid while that person is still alive.

 

The request must be made at least 12 months prior to the insured person's scheduled coverage termination age and the amount of insurance payable after the insured's death will be reduced by this payment. (Premium contributions will not be reduced.)

 

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.

 

To qualify, a terminally ill insured must provide the New York Life Insurance Company with proof of terminal illness and anticipated life expectancy (12 months or less), as well as any other necessary medical information requested. For additional details and limitations, please see the Certificate of Insurance.

 

Please note that receipt of Accelerated Death Benefits may affect your eligibility for public assistance programs and may be taxable. Prior to applying to receive such benefits, you should consult with the appropriate social services agency and seek the advice of a qualified tax advisor.

 

No Exclusions

Benefits are paid for death from any cause, at any time, anywhere in the world. The validity of any amount of your life insurance which has been in force for two years during an insured's lifetime will not be contested except for insurance eligibility provisions and nonpayment of premium contributions.

 

Your Choice of Beneficiary

You may select any person, persons, trust or other legal entity as your beneficiary. If, at the time of your death, there are no surviving beneficiaries, benefits will be paid to the executor or administrator of your estate, or at the option of New York Life, to the surviving relatives in the following order of survival: spouse; children equally; parents equally; or brothers and sisters equally.

 

Group Conversion Privilege

The Plan provides conversion privileges under certain circumstances of involuntary termination as described in the Certificate of Insurance.

Effective Date

You and your eligible dependents will become insured on the date specified by New York Life Insurance Company provided the first premium contribution has been paid, satisfactory evidence of insurability has been submitted, and you and your dependents are alive on that date. Coverage for any dependent who is confined at home, in a hospital or other medical institution, or is incapacitated so as to be unable to perform his or her normal activities on the date coverage would otherwise become effective, will not become effective until the date he or she is no longer so confined or incapacitated provided you are insured on that date and the dependent is still eligible for insurance. (Payment of a premium contribution for insurance does not mean there is any coverage in force before the effective date as specified by New York Life Insurance Company.)

 

When Coverage Ends

Your insurance can remain in force until you reach age 65, provided: (a) you remain a member of IEEE; (b) you continue to pay premium contributions when due; and (c) the group plan is not terminated or modified by the Policyholder or New York Life Insurance Company to end insurance for the group of insureds in which you belong.

Upon your death, coverage for your insured dependents may continue as described in the Certificate of Insurance.
