  • ELIGIBILITY

    This coverage is available exclusively to IEEE members* under age 65, who may request coverage for themselves, their lawful spouses under age 65, and all unmarried dependent children ages 14 days through 22 years (24 years if a full-time student). In order to become insured, satisfactory evidence of insurability must be provided and the required premium must be paid.

     

    A dependent who is also an IEEE member is eligible for either member or dependent coverage, but not both. If both member and spouse are covered as members, neither may insure the other as spouse and only one may insure any eligible children.

     

    This coverage is available to residents of Canada (except Quebec).

     

    AMBA does not act as broker with respect to Canadian residents and acts solely as an Administrator on behalf of New York Life.

     

    *Participation in the IEEE Member Group Insurance Program requires active IEEE membership status during the life of the insurance coverage.

     

    Non-Dependent Family Members: Any eligible "non-dependent" family members may also apply for coverage if they first join the IEEE as an Associate member (for membership information, visit the IEEE home page or call IEEE directly at 1-800-678-IEEE).

    Members—$100,000 to $2,000,000 in $10,000 multiples.

    Spouse—$100,000 to $2,000,000 in $10,000 multiples, not to exceed 100% of member’s coverage.

  • FEATURES

    Pay Less If You’re a Qualified Nonsmoker

    Nonsmokers meeting the highest underwriting standards may qualify for the Preferred (the best) rates that follow. Other nonsmokers may qualify for "Select" (a bit higher) or Standard (the highest) rates.

     

    Save With Volume Discounts on Higher Amounts of Insurance

    If you or your spouse becomes insured for coverage amounts of $250,000 through $490,000, you’ll receive a volume discount; and for amounts of $500,000 through $2,000,000 of coverage, you’ll receive an even bigger discount.

     

    Continuing Insurance After the 10-Year Term Ends

    Premiums are guaranteed to remain level for the first 10 years of coverage. At the end of the 10-year period, you may reapply for 10-year level term rates then in effect for a subsequent 10-year period, provided the insured person is under age 65 and otherwise eligible. If your application for a subsequent 10-year term of guaranteed rates is approved, your premium contribution will be based on the insured person's age, health and tobacco/nicotine use at the time coverage becomes effective and will be guaranteed for a new 10-year term.

     

    If you and your spouse are not approved for a subsequent 10-year term of guaranteed rates, or you do not apply for a subsequent 10-year term, coverage will continue in force on a non-guaranteed rate basis, under which premium contributions increase as the insured ages.

     

    Keep Your Cost Manageable

    Rates have been provided on an annual basis per $1,000 of coverage to make it easier for you to compare this insurance to other coverage options on the market today. Two modes of payment are available to suit your budget: semiannual billing; and semiannual or monthly Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) option (your cost would be approximately one-half or one-twelfth, respectively, the amount you calculate from the rate chart.)

  • IMPORTANT NOTICE TO RESIDENTS OF MANITOBA AND ONTARIO, CANADA

  • OTHER IMPORTANT INFORMATION

    Valuable Living Benefit Provision "Accelerated Death Benefit"

Under this provision you may request one advance payment equal to 50% of 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 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 non-payment of premium contributions.

     

    Your Choice of Beneficiary

    You may select any person, persons, trust or other legal entity as your beneficiary.

    How New York Life Obtains Information and Underwrites 
    Your Request for 
    Group 10 Year Level Term Life Insurance

     

    In this notice, references to “you” and “your” include any person proposed for insurance. Information regarding insurability will be treated as confidential. In considering whether the person(s) in your request for insurance qualify for insurance, we will rely on the medical information you provide, and on the information you AUTHORIZE us to obtain from your physician, other medical practitioners and facilities, other insurance companies to which you have applied for insurance and MIB, LLC. (“MIB”). MIB is a not-for-profit organization of insurance companies, which operates an information exchange on behalf of its members. If you apply for life or health insurance coverage or a claim for benefits is submitted to an MIB member company, medical or non-medical information may be given to MIB and such information may then be furnished by MIB, upon request, to a member company.

     

    Your AUTHORIZATION may be used for a period of 24 months from the date you signed the application for insurance, unless sooner revoked. The AUTHORIZATION may be revoked at any time by notifying New York Life in writing at the address provided. Your revocation will not be effective to the extent New York Life or any other person already has disclosed or collected information or taken other action in reliance on it, or to the extent that New York Life has a legal right to contest a claim under an insurance certificate or the certificate itself. The information New York Life obtains through your AUTHORIZATION may become subject to further disclosure. For example, New York Life may be required to provide it to insurance, regulatory or other government agencies.

The information provided may include information that may predate the time frame stated on the medical questions section, if any, on this application. This information may be used during the underwriting and claims processes, where permitted by law.

     

    New York Life may release this information to the Plan Administrator, other insurance companies to which you may apply for life and health insurance, or to which a claim for benefits may be submitted and to others whom you authorize in writing.

    New York Life will not disclose such information to anyone except those you authorize or where required or permitted by law. Information in our files may be seen by New York Life and Plan Administrator employees, but only on a “need to know” basis in considering your request. Upon receipt of all requested information, we will make a determination as to whether your request for insurance can be approved.

     

    If we cannot provide the coverage you requested, we will tell you why. If you feel our information is inaccurate, you will be given a chance to correct or complete the information in our files. Upon written request to New York Life or MIB, you will be provided with non-medical information. Generally, medical information will be given either directly to the proposed insured or to a medical professional designated by the proposed insured. Your request is handled in accordance with the Federal Fair Credit Reporting Act procedures.
