Life Insurance and Accidental Death and Dismemberment Insurance

Member’s Life Insurance

Member’s life insurance guarantees, in case of the member’s death, that the sum insured will be paid to the designated beneficiaries. It is offered in a choice of fixed amounts or annual salary multiples.

Dependent’s Life Insurance

Dependents’ life insurance provides coverage against the death of the member's spouse and dependent children. Upon the death of a dependent, the member will receive the sum insured under the contract.

Accidental Death and Dismemberment Insurance

In case of accidental death, the insured life insurance sum doubles. If the member suffers the accidental loss of one or more limbs, the maximum benefit is equal to a percentage of the life insurance coverage.

Express Life Claims Process

We understand that the loss of a loved one can be a very difficult and overwhelming time. That’s why we offer this service that accelerates the claims process when the insured amount is $75,000 or less.

Short-Term Disability Insurance (generally 17, 26 or 52 weeks)

This coverage guarantees a regular income to a member in case of an accident or illness resulting in a prolonged absence from work.
