You certainly understand the importance of having sufficient life insurance. Now you have an opportunity to make sure that you have the amount of coverage needed. Your loved ones will appreciate the peace of mind this Plan provides, with benefits up to $1,000,000 that will let them go on with their lives with fewer financial concerns.
You may apply for $50,000 to $1,000,000 in 20-Year Level Term Life insurance coverage (in $5,000 increments). Coverage continues as long as you pay your premium when due and the Group Policy remains in force. Your amount of insurance will not decrease due to age during a level term rate period.
All IMA members under age 60 may apply for coverage for themselves, their spouse under age 60 and all unmarried dependent children ages 15 days to under age 26. Member must be actively at work (at least 20 hours per week) and dependents must be able to carry on all the normal and customary activities of a person of like age and sex at the time of enrollment.
A dependent who is also a member may apply 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.
IMA members and their Spouses can apply for amounts up to $1,000,000 in increments of $5,000. While this process requires full medical underwriting, it may give you access to higher benefit maximums and to the most competitive rates.
Option 1: $5,000 of coverage is available at $0.95 semi-annually
Option 2: $10,000 of coverage is available at $1.90 semi-annually
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 80% of your in force life insurance up to $500,000 to be paid while the terminally ill person is still alive. The amount of insurance payable after death will be reduced by this payment.
The Member and Spouse can elect the same level of Accidental Death & Dismemberment (AD&D) coverage as for Life Insurance coverage. In addition, if you are seriously injured in a covered accident and sustain loss of limb, eyesight or other injuries, a partial benefit may be payable. AD&D semi-annual costs are $0.60/$5,000 if under age 65 and $0.90/$5,000 age 65 through 80.
The Member pays no premiums if he/she becomes totally disabled, as defined in the certificate. Your life insurance coverage will continue at no cost to you if you become continuously totally disabled for at least 6 months and if your disability occurs before age 60.

Receipt of accelerated benefits may affect your eligibility, or that of your spouse or your family, for public assistance programs such as medical assistance (Medicaid), Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF), Supplementary Social Security Income (SSI) and drug assistance programs. You are advised to consult with social service agencies concerning the effect that receipt of accelerated benefits will have on public assistance eligibility for you, your spouse or your family.
