Coverage will not be reduced during your level term period. Premiums will only be increased for all insureds in the same age and rate class. The level term rate period begins on the effective date assigned by ReliaStar Life. Plan benefits are offered for amounts $100,000 up to $1,000,000. The 10-year plan is offered for persons aged 18-60. The 20-year plan is offered for persons aged 18-50.


If you choose the Accidental Death & Dismemberment option you will receive the same level of coverage as your Level Term Life Insurance. The Accidental Death Dismemberment rate is $0.03 per $1,000 of coverage per month, regardless of your age, gender and smoking status.


Qualifications for this MSBA Level Term Life Plan offer are few:

  • You must be a member of MSBA and between the age of 19-60 years of age.
  • You cannot already be insured by this plan.

 

If ReliaStar Life approves the insurance, premiums will be determined on a Level Term Rate Period basis if all of the following conditions are met:


All members and spouses/domestic partners must complete an application form for any new coverage or to increase coverage (including dependent coverage) or to begin an initial or subsequent 10 or 20 year Level Term Rate Period when proof of good health is required. Some applicants may be required to have a medical exam in order to apply for coverage. For more information on medical requirements, please contact your plan administrator.


If there is an increase in the amount of your insurance, the increase will take effect on the first day of the month on or next following the date of the increase. If you are in a Level Term Rate Period, premiums for the increased amount of insurance will be based on your attained age on the effective date of the increase.


Your MSBA Level Term Life Plan will start after your application has been approved by the insurer and your first premium has been paid.

Your insurance stops on the earliest of the following dates:  the last day of the month during which you are no longer eligible for insurance under the group policy; if you are not totally disabled, the date the group policy terminates; if you are totally disabled, the date ReliaStar Life stops waiving premiums under the Waiver of Life Insurance Premium Disability Benefit; the end of the period for which you paid premiums, if you do not make the next required premium contribution when due.

 

Accelerated Life Benefit

The Accelerated Life 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 your (or your insured dependent’s) in force life insurance, or $150,000, whichever is less, to be paid while you are still alive. You must have at least $20,000 in Life Insurance coverage in force to qualify for this benefit. The amount of insurance payable after your 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, you must provide ReliaStar Life with a doctor’s statement which gives the diagnosis of your medical condition and states you have a life expectancy of no more than six months. For additional details and limitations, please see the Certificate of Insurance.

 

Please note that receipt of the 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.

FAQs

  • Who recommends/approves benefit changes or premium changes?

    The insurance companies reserve the right to change rates. They usually report "plan experience" (or the number and size of claims made) twice a year and, if applicable, rate change recommendations. Using this information, the Group Insurance Administrator works with MSBA to evaluate the recommendations and decide what, if any, action (i.e. a rate change, a change in benefits, or even a change in insurance companies) is appropriate to maintain each plan's financial stability and competitive status. Actions are subject to MSBA Approval, and insured members are advised of MSBA's decision, prior to implementation.
  • Who is AMBA Administrators, Inc., the Administrator of the Program?

    AMBA Administrators, Inc. is the company contracted to manage the Group Insurance Program. AMBA Administrators, Inc. is not affiliated with the insurance companies that underwrite each plan.
  • Who are the current insurance carriers, and what are their ratings?

    This varies according to each plan. The Group Insurance Administrator seeks the best opportunities for our members, so the plans are underwritten by different insurance companies. All of the companies enjoy solid ratings by A.M. Best Company, which annually measures the financial strength of insurance companies.

    AMBA makes no representations or warranties, expressed or implied, concerning the financial condition or solvency of any insurers. A.M. Best’s Ratings are under continuous review and subject to change and/or affirmation. For the latest Best’s Ratings and Best’s Company Reports (which include Best’s Ratings), visit the A.M.

  • How long does the application process take? When will my coverage become effective?

    The application process depends on many factors: the number of persons to be insured, their ages, the amount of coverage for which you apply, your medical history and that of your family members (if applying for dependent coverage), and the type of coverage applied for.
  • Do I have to take a medical exam, blood test, etc.?

    This depends on the plan you are requesting, your age, the amount of coverage for which you apply, and your individual medical history.
  • How do the rates work on the Level Term Life insurance plans?

    Premiums are designed to remain level and will not increase due to age or health status. Premiums will only be increased if they are increased for all insureds covered under the group policy with 60 days advance written notice.
  • Can my spouse/domestic partner obtain separate coverage?

    Yes, a spouse or domestic partner can obtain separate coverage.
  • What does the term Group mean?

    These are "group" plans, negotiated especially for MSBA Members and their spouses/domestic partners. This means that you cannot be singled out for a rate increase. Rates, although not guaranteed, can only be changed on a group basis.

 

*The initial premium will not change for the first 10 or 20 years unless the insurance company exercises its right to change premium rates for all insureds covered under the group policy with 60 days advance written notice.
