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.

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.

For members, beginning on and after the 70th birthday, ReliaStar Life decreases the amount of your insurance. ReliaStar Life pays a percentage of the amount otherwise payable:

• From your 70th birthday to age 75, ReliaStar Life pays the lesser of 50% or $50,000.00.

For spouses/domestic partner, insurance terminates on the Group Policy anniversary date on or after your 70th birthday.

A decrease in the amount of insurance due to age will take effect on the later of your attainment of any of the specified birthdays, or at the end of a level term rate period. Your amount of insurance will not decrease due to age during a level term rate period.

All members and spouses/domestic partner must complete an application form for any new coverage or to increase coverage (including dependent coverage) or to begin an initial or subsequent 10-year Level Term Rate Period when proof of good health is required.

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.
